The infographic refers to ISO 27001, the global information security management standard, which takes a risk assessment-based approach. It is supported by ISO 27005, which provides guidelines for information security risk management and is applicable to all organisations.
Alan Calder, the chief executive of Vigilant Software, says: “In today’s economy, the protection of critical information assets is a key priority for every organisation. But you cannot protect something if you don’t know what the risks are and how to mitigate them.
“Conducting an information security risk assessment is fundamental to ensuring that you make informed security management decisions, select the most appropriate security controls and optimise your cyber security expenditure.”
