Information Security Management System (ISMS) is part of the overall management system, based on a business risk approach, to establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and improve information security. Requirements for Information Security Systems are set in the Information Security Standard, originally published by the British Standards Institution. The Standard is published in two parts:
ISO/IEC 27001, Information Security Management Systems - Requirements
ISO/IEC 27002, Code of practice for Information Security Management
ISO/IEC 27001 defines a management framework for identifying security requirements and applying the best practice controls on information security management. ISO/IEC 27002 defines these best practice controls and recommendations for use by those who are responsible for initiating, implementing or maintaining security within their organization.
An organization's Information Security Management System (ISMS) may opt to be formally certified for compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 by means of an assessment by an independent third party, an Accredited Certification Body. The normal life of a ISMS certification is three years. During this period valid ISMS certificate must be annually confirmed by passing periodic ISMS audit.
