Overview of ISO 27001:2005 Information Security Management System
Organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the value of their business-critical information and the need to protect their information-related assets. IT security risk is the harm to a process or the related information resulting from some purposeful or accidental event that negatively impacts the process or the related information. The organization may face increasing costs as a result of Information Security breaches and regulatory non-compliance, including heavy fines, loss of customer confidence, loss of reputation, regulatory scrutiny, loss of market share and criminal/ civil litigation. Risk management is the process of understanding and responding to factors that may lead to a failure in the confidentiality, integrity or availability of an information system.
