ISMS software

ISMS software, what's in it for you?  stands for Information Security Management System. So it is the management system to control your information security. The system includes the whole of policies, processes and measures to achieve this. Standards such as ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 or the government baseline BIO contain requirements that such a management system must meet. An ISMS can be certified.
Now many facets are discussed in such an ISMS and the documentation must all be demonstrably approved, known to the users, up-to-date, etc. Registrations must demonstrate that targets or KPIs - Key Performance Indicators are managed. And all this must be risk-based. In short, you are looking for ISMS software tools that help you further. With a clear concept.

ISMS software, what to look out for

Some points that are important to pay attention to:

ISMS focus areas

In order to comply with the management system standards for information security, an organization must have a complete management system (ISMS - Information Security Management System) with control measures with regard to information security. The focus areas are:

• Security Policy
• Asset management
• Staff
• Physical Security
• Manage communication processes
• management of operating processes
• Access policy
• Information systems
• Incident management
• Business continuity management
• Compliance

If you want to know more than just such a list, you can contact our business partner Meta-audit.nl. They also know what the mandatory documents are, click here. 

Please note: the ISO 27001 has changed, ISO 27001:2022. And the same applies to NEN 7510: NEN 7510:2024. Our colleagues at Meta-audit.nl know more about it. Click here for their Quickstart implementation ISO 27001:2022.
New: in cooperation with Meta-audit.nl an ISMS starter package (in accordance with ISO 27001:2022 - mandatory documents / registrations) after the trial period of the Metaware management system. Contact us for more info.

ISMS, risk-based

The management of information security must be based on the identified risks. Risk management is therefore an integral part: identifying and classifying risks and then mitigating (reducing) these risks with measures. Gradually, however, the number of identified risks will increase rapidly and thus typically something to keep track of NOT in a spreadsheet, but in a workflow tool. This keeps the risk treatment plan up to date and all those involved know who has to do what and when.

ISMS, control framework

The ISMS contains a large number of control measures that must be implemented. The whole of control measures is also called a control framework. 
These control measures must be clearly demonstrably effective and are therefore an important topic in any audit. A tool provides insight into the status of such a control framework. 

ISMS, setting up

Setting up an ISMS is quite a job that requires a clear step-by-step plan, supported by the software tool.

The implementation is split into 5 phases:

• Preparation
• Structure of ISMS
• Expansion of ISMS
• Implementation of ISMS
• Assessment, completion
   

ISMS, practical example

With the help of our business partner Meta-audit.nl , we set up a demo environment. See also their overviews and the mandatory documents.
