Information security is a global issue affecting international trading, 
mobile communications, social media, and the various systems and 
services that make our digital world and national infrastructures. 
Managing information security is an even more crucial issue, as it 
includes using and managing the policies, procedures, processes, 
control measures, and supporting applications, services, and 
technologies that are needed to be protected. 
Information security management needs to be effective, suitable, and appropriate if 
it is to protect information from the risks that businesses and society face in this 
digital age. Information could be disclosed and accessible to unauthorized users, 
corrupted or modified either in some unauthorized or accidental way or lost or 
unavailable due to a system failure. An organization requires to assess its risks in 
terms of the potential impact that a security incident might have on its business and 
the likelihood of this security incident occurring.
What is ISO?
The International Standards Organization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization 
that holds a unique position between the public and private sectors. Its members 
include national standards organizations who often are a part of government 
structures in their countries or mandated by these governments. The role of ISO is 
to facilitate the international coordination and the standardization of industrial 
standards. To reach these objectives, ISO publishes technical standards.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the international standard that provides the specification for an 
Information Security Management System (ISMS). This systematic approach 
consists of people, processes, and technology that helps you protect and manage 
all your organization’s information through risk management. It is a set of 
normative requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, and 
reviewing to update and develop an Information Security Management System 
(ISMS). ISO 27001 is also used for selecting security controls tailored to each 
organization’s needs based on industry best practices.

standard requirements for implementing an efficient ISMS (Information Security
