Cyber risk has become a critical business issue, with senior management increasingly under pressure – from customers, regulators and partners – to ensure their organisation can defend against, respond to and recover from cyber attacks. To be resilient against cyber attacks, organisations must do more than just erect digital defences; a significant percentage of successful attacks originate in the physical world or are aided and exacerbated by environmental vulnerabilities. Effective cyber security therefore requires a comprehensive, systematic and robust ISMS (information security management system), with boards, customers and regulators all seeking assurance that information risks have been identified and are being managed. An organisation can achieve a robust ISMS by implementing ISO 27001:2022. This guide will help you: Understand how to implement ISO 27001:2022 in your organisation; Integrate your ISO 27001 ISMS with an ISO 9001 QMS (quality management system) and other management systems; Address the documentation challenges you will face as you create policies, procedures, work instructions and records; and continually improve your ISMS, including internal auditing, testing and management review

For many companies, their intellectual property can often be more valuable than their physical assets. Having an effective IT governance strategy in place can protect this intellectual property, reducing the risk of theft and infringement. Data protection, privacy and breach regulations, computer misuse around investigatory powers are part of a complex and often competing range of requirements to which directors must respond. There is increasingly the need for an overarching information security framework that can provide context and coherence to compliance activity worldwide. IT Governance is a key resource for forward-thinking managers and executives at all levels, enabling them to understand how decisions about information technology in the organization should be made and monitored, and, in particular, how information security risks are best dealt with. The development of IT governance - which recognises the convergence between business practice and IT management - makes it essential for managers at all levels, and in organizations of all sizes, to understand how best to deal with information security risk. The new edition has been full updated to take account of the latest regulatory and technological developments, including the creation of the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications. IT Governance also includes new material on key international markets - including the UK and the US, Australia and South Africa.
