Development ISO 27001 System

The ISO 27001 standard contains requirements for managing the information security system within an organization. Fulfillment of these requirements helps control information security parameters such as confidentiality, integrity and availability, taking into account risks, improve data retention, and consequently, increase confidence of customers, counterparties and other stakeholders.

The system can be applied to all organizations that work with any data, including personal data.

Even if you believe that your information is not of interest to wrongdoers, because you do not store, for example, customer payment card data, this does not mean that your systems do not require protection.

If you create and/or distribute information products and services, produce electronic content or manage electronic document flow, you need to think about effective information management and protection. The best way to do this is to implement the requirements of the universal ISO/IEC 27001:2013/COR 1:2014 standard. It defines the requirements for information management processes, which makes it applicable to organizations of any type, size and nature in any branch and industry.

Implementing the basic principles of ISO/IEC 27001 provides momentum for improving the company’s internal processes. The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard describes how to connect the elements of the organization and combine the elements and protection means into a single system.

Where Are ISO 27001 Systems Implemented?

An information security system according to ISO 27001 is implemented to enhance the level of protection of corporate data and developments and/or confidential data of customers, which contributes to increasing their level of trust. ISO 27001 is implemented in any organization that collects, processes, stores any data, including personal customer data and/or wishes to protect itself from external and internal information threats, as well as attacks on the company’s infrastructure.

ISO 27001 Audits

The most important procedure before implementing an information security system, during its operation, and before the certification of the ISO 27001 management system. According to Atestor’s recommendations, a diagnostic audit should always precede documenting of the security system. Audit reports are a guide to the development and implementation of the information security system, defining the necessary time and material resources covered by the information security system.

Atestor’s experts are convinced that practicing auditors of the company, whether it is internal audit (ISO 9011), audit of a supplier (interested in cooperation), third-party (independent) audit, successfully improve the information security system.

Diagnostic audit is a procedure for diagnosing all information systems of the enterprise, personnel management and documentation to assess work on the development, implementation or improvement of the information security system.

Internal audit is a control tool that allows for assessing the effectiveness of the information security system at the enterprise, finding possible deviations from compliance with the rules, and eliminating them. The main advantage of internal audit is finding ways to improve the working system.

Pre-certification audit is the final audit that can be conducted by auditors of a conformity assessment body or practicing consultants. An audit conducted by Atestor’s consultants is of higher quality and cheaper. Quality lies in professionalism and depth of understanding of the requirements of the international standard ISO 27001

ISO 27001 Training

One of the stages of implementation is training of personnel in the requirements of ISO 27001. This is necessary primarily for employees directly involved in the functioning of the information security system, as well as for personnel of those units that support key business processes.

Therewith, it is important to convey the value of the information security system to each employee by explaining the rules and familiarizing them with the documentation requirements that establish the operational sequence.

Knowledge of ISO 27001 requirements can be obtained by participating in training arranged by Atestor. The lecturer conducting the training is a professional with deep knowledge and extensive experience in the domain of audit and implementation of IT security systems.

During the training, the lecturer takes into account the level of knowledge of trainees and the specifics of their enterprises, and can provide practical recommendations for developing the information security system.

When concluding a contract for the development and implementation of the ISO 27001 information security system at the enterprise, the Atestor provides free personnel training (within the development contract) on working with the system. During training, personnel:

learn to work with documentation;
master skills in working with the information security system;
receive practical recommendations on identifying vulnerable areas, handling risks;
examine case studies of the system based on real data.

Lecturers thoroughly approach personnel training and create an individual program based on the realities of the information security of the enterprise.

Upon completion of training, each trainee receives a certificate, the availability of which is a mandatory requirement when working with the ISO 27001 information security system.

ISO 27001 System Certification

The fact that the information security system complies with the ISO 27001 standard can be proven through certification.

To do this, you should contact a certification body, submit an application and agree on the dates of audit.

At the first stage, system documents are reviewed, and at the second stage, compliance with the requirements of ISO 27001 and of the information security system documentation is verified in practice through observations.

Based on the audit results, the certification body decides on issuance of a certificate

If a positive decision is taken, the company receives a certificate that is valid for three years and allows for demonstrating the assurance of information security in full.

During the certification process, the company can provide support to the group of auditors, offer additional explanations and propose options for implementation of corrective actions and remedial measures.
