A Guide to Information Security Management

Information is a vital asset. The protection and security of this information is of prime importance to many aspects of an organisation's business. It is important that an organisation should not only implement a set of controls and procedures for information security but also manage and maintain them.

    Information Security is concerned with three areas :-

    Confidentiality : Protecting information from unauthorised disclosure;
    Integrity : Safeguarding the accuracy and
    completeness of information and computer software;
    Availability : Ensuring that information and vital services
    are available when required.

    BS7799 is the British Standard for Information Security Management. It is a business-led approach to best practice in Information Security Management. It provides a framework to initiate, implement, maintain and document Information Security within an organisation, including:-
    • Security policy
    • Security organisation
    • Asset classification and control
    • Personnel security
    • Physical and environmental security
    • Communications and operations management
    • Access control
    • Systems development and maintenance
    • Business Continuity Management
    • Compliance
