As EU organisations focus on cyber security, IT Governance Ltd says all European organisations should implement ISMSs, as set out in ISO27001.

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, BELGIUM, October 7, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- October 2014 is European Cyber Security Month (ECSM), an EU-wide advocacy campaign organised by ENISA to generate awareness of cyber security – a priority of the EU Cyber Security Strategy – and Network and Information Security (NIS) – as addressed by the proposed NIS Directive.

As EU organisations focus their efforts on strengthening their cyber security and raising awareness among staff, IT Governance Ltd, the global provider of cyber security expertise, says all European organisations should implement information security management systems (ISMSs), as set out in the international standard for best-practice information security management, ISO27001.

Founder and Executive Chairman of IT Governance, Alan Calder says, “Hardware and software solutions alone are not enough to protect EU organisations from cyber threats. An ISO27001-compliant ISMS provides a holistic approach to information security management that addresses the whole organisation, and encompasses people, process and technology”.

“Accredited certification to the Standard offers globally acknowledged proof that information security best practice has been adopted. As customers increasingly expect businesses to be able to prove their information security credentials, it comes as no surprise that certification to ISO27001 increased by 25% in Europe last year” Calder concludes.

Implementing the Standard can be a daunting drain on time and resources, but IT Governance’s ISO27001 Do It Yourself package makes it easy for organisations that already have substantial management system expertise (with, for example, ISO9001 or ISO20000), the available internal resources, and an understanding of information security management to implement an ISMS.

Containing the relevant official standards as well as two of IT Governance’s essential bestselling implementation guides, the ISO27001 Do It Yourself package offers a low-cost route to ISO27001 implementation.
