Summary/Abstract: An organization's information is dependent upon information and communications technology. This technology is an essential element in any organization and assists in facilitating the creation, processing, storing, transmitting, protection and destruction of information. Where the extent of the interconnected global business environment expands so does the requirement to protect information as this information is now exposed to a wider variety of threats and vulnerabilities. International Standards for Management Systems incorporates the features on which experts in the field have reached a consensus as being the international state of the art. Through the use of the Information Security Management System (ISMS) family of standards, organizations can develop and implement a framework for managing the security of their information assets and prepare for an independent assessment of their ISMS applied to the protection of information, such as financial information, intellectual property, and employee details, or information entrusted to them by customers or third parties.
