/EINPresswire.com/ Vigilant Software Ltd, the one-stop shop for ISO27001 information security management and ISO 27005 information security risk management, has listed its ISO 27001 Comprehensive ISMS Toolkit for sale in this fantastic value-added offer on its website (www.vigilantsoftware.co.uk/product/1667.aspx).
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a systematic approach to managing confidential or sensitive corporate information so that it remains secure (which means confidential and with its integrity and availability intact – ‘CIA’). It encompasses people, processes and IT systems.
Information security is not just about anti-virus software, implementing the latest firewall or locking down laptops or web servers. The overall approach to information security should be strategic as well as operational, and different security initiatives should be prioritised, integrated and cross-referenced to ensure overall effectiveness.
ISO/IEC 27001:2005, usually referred to just as ISO 27001, is the best practice specification that helps businesses and organisations throughout the world to develop a best-in-class Information Security Management System (ISMS). The Standard was published jointly by the International Security Office (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The British standard BS7799-2 was the forerunner for ISO 27001.
Risk assessment is critical to effective deployment of an ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System, and this ISO27001 Comprehensive ISMS Toolkit (www.vigilantsoftware.co.uk/product/1667.aspx), which also comes with vsRisk™ -the Definitive ISO/IEC 27001-Compliant Information Security Risk Assessment Tool (www.vigilantsoftware.co.uk/product/1642.aspx), enables you to demonstrate that you have a repeatable risk assessment process and appropriate documentation.
“Our ISO 27001 Comprehensive ISMS Toolkit is a unique product,” explained Alan Calder, creator and CEO of Vigilant Software Ltd. “We may be in the middle of an economic crisis, but that doesn’t stop cyber attackers and other criminals from attempting to steal valuable data or disrupting business operations. With the variations in data protection compliance requirements across Europe, conformance to the international data security standard, ISO/IEC 27001, is an increasingly important element of information security. The ISO 27001 ISMS Toolkit helps with quick, cost-effective compliance.”
Organisations which purchase this fantastic toolkit before 31st October will receive 7 free additional resources which will help kick-start information security staff awareness project. The extra 7 resources can be viewed here: www.vigilantsoftware.co.uk/product/1667.aspx.
