WEB-BASED BMS: INFORMATION SECURITY MODULE


Mireaux's Web-Based Quality Management System's Information Security module has various components that fit together to help comply with the requirements of the ISO 27001:2005 standard.  Below is a brief explanation of each one of the them.

 

ISMS Scope

The ISO 27001:2005 standard places a great deal of emphasis in the definition of the company scope, making sure it is approved by top management and it encompass the Statement of Applicability (SOA).  This module makes it easy to display the company scope and tie it back to the latest revision of the company's SOA.
 

ISMS Policy

One of the pinnacle requirements to achieve ISO 27001 certification is to have an Information Security Policy. This module makes it easy to display your ISMS Policy. Posting the ISMS Policy online is typically more effective and influential on the employees than posting the policy across the building.

Risk Treatment Plan

The ISO 27001 standard requires that an organization conduct risk assessments to identify, quantify and prioritize risks against criteria for risk acceptance and relevant objectives.  This module assist organizing and displaying the Treatment Plan for each risk identified.  Whether the treatment is applying the appropriate controls from Annex A, accepting the risk, avoiding the risk or transferring it, this module will graphically allow the user to pinpoint all pertinent information regarding a risk.
 

Statement of Applicability (SOA)

The ISO 27001:2005 standard contains on Annex A a set of "Control objectives and controls" that companies shall select as part of their ISMS process for treating their identified risks.  The selected controls, the implemented controls and the excluded controls form what is called the Statment of Applicability (SOA).  This module assists by displaying these controls in a matrix format, making it easy to follow the same numbers of the standard and also allowing for direct linkage to the area of implementation (for controls implemented within the intranet).

Asset List

This area displays an interactive list of assets that belong to the organization.  While the first display may show asset owner, location and other relevant information, a second view will show more exhaustive information about each specific asset that may be valuable to the company for retrieval or upgrading purposes.

Internal Audits

A requirement of any ISO standard and a key element of a good Information Security Management System  is to perform Internal Audits of the organization’s ISMS processes at periodic intervals. This module manages the entire internal audit process, using simple  tools to prepare and conduct audits as well as to initiate corrective actions and maintain associated records - for one location or multiple locations. The result is a much simplified, consistent and mistake-proof way to keep your company’s ISMS in check. Viewers can easily see on the intranet, a list of past or future audits and see all pertinent information related to them, such as audit plans, audit reports and findings.

External Audits

An essential requirement to obtain initial certification to ISO 27001 and to keep the certificate valid is to have an external company or “Registrar” perform audits of your Information Security Management System (ISMS) to ensure compliance to the standard and to your own procedures. The interval between external audits is set between you and your registrar to accommodate your business needs. This module manages the entire ISO External Audit process, including all necessary tools to initiate corrective action and maintain associated records - for one location or multiple locations. The result is a centralized location to keep your company’s ISO External Audit information visible to all. Viewers can easily see - from a web browser - a list of past or future audits and see all pertinent information related to it, such as audit plan, audit reports and findings.

Management Reviews

A requirement of ISO 27001 and a great exercise for any business is to perform Management Reviews of the organization’s ISMS at periodic intervals to ensure the organization's ISMS continuing suitability and effectiveness. This module manages the entire ISO Management Review process, to prepare and conduct management reviews as well as to initiate action items or corrective actions and maintain associated records - for one location or multiple locations. The result is a much simplified and consistent way to keep your top management aware of the status of your company’s ISMS. Viewers can easily see a list of past or future management reviews and see all pertinent information related to it, such as management review agenda, presentation and action items.
