Step-by-step guidance on a successful ISO 27001 implementation from an industry leader
Resilience against cyber attacks requires an organization to defend itself across all of its attack surface: people, processes, and technology. ISO 27001 is the international standard that sets out the requirements of an information security management system (ISMS) - a holistic approach to information security that encompasses people, processes, and technology. Accredited certification to the Standard is recognized worldwide as the hallmark of best-practice information security management.
Achieving and maintaining accredited certification to ISO 27001 can be complicated, especially for those who are new to the Standard.
Alan Calder knows ISO 27001 inside out: the founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, he led the implementation of the management system that achieved the world’s first accredited certification to BS 7799 - the forerunner to ISO 27001 - and has been working with the Standard ever since. Hundreds of organizations around the world have achieved accredited certification to ISO 27001 with IT Governance’s guidance, which is distilled in this book.
In Nine Steps to Success - An ISO 27001 Implementation Overview, Alan provides a comprehensive overview of how to lead an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS implementation in just nine steps.
