The rapid advances in information technologies have led to ever more companies to extensively use them in the management of their business. This wide use of information technologies and the associated data create increasing risks, some of which rather hidden, for these companies. Whether all such risks have been identified and appropriately controlled is becoming a paramount priority.
As a whole, the main mission of an enterprise’s information security management function concerns the safeguarding of the confidentiality, security, integrity, and the effectiveness of its usage. Many enterprises’ information security and protection strategies, however, primarily focus on their IT infrastructure but not on the proper care of the important information assets, resulting in a gap between the organization’s operational needs and information technology needs.
Information technology employees in an organizations often do not know and are not required to understand the organization’s business or operational needs for information assets. Whether important information assets are properly protected, or whether precious resources are expended to protect relative unimportant information assets is sometimes blurry.. As a result, understandings of the protection requirements the organization’s business or operating units and IT are often not aligned.
An information security management system is an effective management framework that assists organizations in establishing an environment that is well-protected for important information assets. This in turn helps organizations to avoid information assets breaches and the associated damages.
