It means that such a standard defines how to run a system, and in case of ISO , it defines the information security management system ISMS — therefore, certification against ISO is possible. This management system means that information security must be planned, implemented, monitored, reviewed, and improved.

It means that management has its distinct responsibilities, that objectives must be set, measured and reviewed, that internal audits must be carried out and so on. Finally, the difference is that ISO does not make a distinction between controls applicable to a particular organization, and those which are not.

On the other hand, ISO prescribes a risk assessment to be performed in order to identify for each control whether it is required to decrease the risks, and if it is, to which extent it should be applied.

The answer is usability — if it was a single standard, it would be too complex and too large for practical use. Every standard from the ISO series is designed with a certain focus — if you want to build the foundations of information security in your organization, and devise its framework, you should use ISO ; if you want to implement controls, you should use ISO , if you want to carry out risk assessment and risk treatment, you should use ISO etc.

To conclude, one could say that without the details provided in ISO , controls defined in Annex A of ISO could not be implemented; however, without the management framework from ISO , ISO would remain just an isolated effort of a few information security enthusiasts, with no acceptance from the top management and therefore with no real impact on the organization.

A policy, a system change control, technical reviews, secure engineering principles. Dev, test, live. Test data. Outsourced development. All to document. I am a big fan of this section. When you do you need controls around supplier registers, selecting suppliers, vetting them, monitoring, measuring them and the associated legal documentation. Have a third party supplier policy and a third party supplier register.

What happens and what do you do when things go wrong. Controls here on roles and responsibilities, reporting, assessing, responding, and learning from incidents. An incident and corrective action log i s a must. Having a plan, testing it, proving you tested it and having it all written down is the order of the day here. Business Continuity will keep you going when things go wrong.

Compliance is compliance. What legal and regulatory compliance applies? If you document it make sure you can show you meet it. Intellectual property, protecting records, data protection GDPR , regulations on encryption, compliance with all these controls and the standard and then independent reviews by someone who should know what they are doing.

Remember this is an international standard based on best practice and years of refinement. The actual list of controls is in the ISO standard which you should purchase. If it is not written down it does not exist. Even though you are doing great things you will have to document what you do and be able to provide evidence that you do it. Using a word processor and a spreadsheet. You can consider a portal or web based application but the cheapest, simplest, fastest and most flexible approach for an SME business is basic office applications.

You already know how to use them and you already own them. They are summarised here and you should purchase a copy of the standard for the details. The checklist forms part of our deliverables. ISO This standard covers information security system management measurement and metrics, including suggested ISO aligned controls.
