6. ISMS audit With a tested and proven ISMS in place, the organisation should conduct a certification assessment pre-audit to identify any potential issues that could negatively impact the outcome of the certification audit. Any nonconformities with the requirements of ISO/lEC 27001 can then be addressed and/or corrected.
Conduct surveillance audits Finally, an independent certification body should be employed to conduct a formal audit of the organisation’s ISMS for compliance with ISO/lEC 27001. A successful audit results in a recommendation for certification, which is then issued by the certification body.
7 Conduct surveillance audits Organisations that achieve ISO/lEC 27001 certification are subject to yearly surveillance
audits to confirm continued compliance with the requirements of the standard. A full recertification audit is required every third year following certification.
Mitigate risk The prevalence of cyberattacks and data breaches are increasing daily, and now threaten organisations of every size and in every industry. In cases involving critical infrastructure elements, data breaches can affect the safety of millions of people, and threaten the well-being of communities of all sizes. An ISMS is a vital element in the effort to control
or mitigate the risk associated with cyberattacks against digitised data. ISO/IEC 27001 provides a formal framework for the implementation and maintenance of an effective ISMS. Not only does ISO/IEC 27001 give organisations confidence that
information is protected, it also proves they have identified the risks, assessed the consequences and put in place effective controls that will minimise any damage from cyberattack. Finally, ISO/IEC 27001 is compatible with other management systems standards, easing the auditing process for organisations certified to multiple management systems standards. An information security management
system (ISMS) is an essential part of an organisation’s defence against cyberattacks and data breaches. ISO/IEC 27001 provides a practical framework for the development and implementation of an effective ISMS. Certification to ISO/IEC 27001 can reduce overall information security risks, ease compliance with applicable security regulations and requirements, and help organisations foster the development of a culture of security.
