Information Security management System

ISO 27001:2022 Certification & Consulting

One of the remarkable updates to ISO 27001:2022 is an improved risk assessment procedure.

1. Threat intelligence

Organizations need to gather information on cyber security threats to assess them and initiate measures to mitigate them. Collecting details regarding information security attack trends, tools, and methods proves fruitful. The appropriate sources of such information can be both internal and external. Announcements by government agencies and vendor reports are examples of information sources.

2. Cloud services usage

This control enforces the introduction of security requirements to assist organizations in safeguarding their cloud information. It is about the steps that an enterprise must take to tighten its existing cloud security.

3. Business continuity

A benchmark for organizations to ensure the availability of their information assets despite information technology disruptions. This control covers testing, maintenance, implementation, planning, and readiness.

4. Security monitoring

Physical monitoring through the installation of video monitoring or alarm systems is emphasized by this control. Every organization must enforce proper communication channels and surveillance systems to prevent unauthorized information access.

5. Configuration management

This control involves the management of cyber security technology functioning on configuration, such as cyber networks, hardware, software, etc. ISO 27001 makes it binding on an ISMS to document the configuration management rules and follow them.

6. Information deletion

Organizations must implement this security control of not retaining unwanted or unused data. Cloud services, removable media, and IT systems are entitled to this rule as per the new edition of ISO 27001. Distributing the responsibilities of erasing data when needed and securing deletion with the help of tools.

7. Data masking

The obligation of using data pseudonymization tools is included in this security control. Obfuscation or encryption for data masking alongside its access control is an integral part of cybersecurity. ISO 27001:2022-certified enterprises must incorporate it.

8. Data exposure prevention

This security control is all about monitoring the channels susceptible to potential data leakage. Determining the right method for preventing confidential data disclosure and risk analysis of technologies used while handling data. The revised version of ISO 27001 security control focuses on these areas.

9. Activity monitoring

Introduction of processes to keep an eye on what is happening within an organization’s ISMS. Performance of system resources, proper code execution, outbound and inbound traffic, and administrators’ activities are the areas to be monitored.

10. Web filtering

This security control is meant to ensure the protection of IT systems through the management of website access. ISO 27001:2022 empowers an organization to discriminate between authorized and unauthorized users. This section deals with the prevention of malicious code usage by unknown visitors to an organization’s websites.

11. Secure coding

ISO 27001 current version emphasizes the reduction of software security vulnerabilities. The utilization of security components like encryption and authentication forms the core of this security control. Organizations need to determine coding principles to restrict the tampering of source code and logging attacks.
