Cost effective & consistent information security

Some organisations do execute cost effective security solutions but a risk assessment under ISO27001 actually highlights their efficiency and real effectiveness

The risk assessment concludes that some of the already implemented controls offer little or no benefits to provide an even better return of investment

The risk assessment provides reconfiguration of such controls to make them more effective & even introduces some additional ones as well

A non-consistency in policy framework is observed in organisations as it every division/department develops its own security guidelines

ISO 27001 helps to develop a consistent approach to security

It helps in generating uniform policies in incorporating the industries best practices

A disciplinary process is also introduces to ensure employee compliance with the policies for even better results

They simply just don’t do it Such analysis helps in making rational policies

and spending money wisely
