How to Implement an ISMS (Information Security Management System)

Implementing an ISMS is a challenging process and has to be done in a methodical and controlled manner. But to help you we have put together a simple checklist that if you follow, should help the process.

  1. Assemble an implementation team
  2. Compile an implementation plan
  3. Define the scope of the ISMS
  4. Identify the minimum level of security
  5. Establish a Risk Management strategy
  6. Prepare a Risk Treatment Plan
  7. Identify what you need to measure, monitor or review
  8. Certify your ISMS

If you follow the steps above and constantly refer to the ISO 27001;2013 standard you will get there. But please bear in mind, what is crucial in all of this, is you must have the business backing to get accredited. If you don’t you will fail.
