Information Security Life Cycle

Use a Security Life Cycle to Transform Your Information Security Management System

Even today, mitigating the severity of security risks and threats to information assets can be a struggle.

To derive maximum value from your organization’s security investments requires an information security management system (ISMS) that’s aligned with strategic business and technology objectives. To be effective, information security objectives should reach well beyond short-term compliance deadlines and security events.

What’s needed is an information security life cycle that will promote ongoing collaboration, consistency and rational decision-making.

Use of an information security life cycle can be especially important if your organization’s security function does not have:

• Formal strategic or annual security plans
• Formal business data classification models and security policies
• A formal security risk assessment schedule and/or ongoing monitoring of security controls
• Trusted relationships with business partners, instead of purchasing from persuasive vendors
• Communication with internal and external audiences regarding ISMS requirements and expectations

If it’s time to rethink your approach to information security management, you’ve come to the right place.
