We are big believers in packaging your compliance needs into a single, effective standard within your organization. It doesn’t make any sense to double up on work, and streamlining compliance across multiple standards makes your efforts better and faster.

In light of that, we’re discussing how you can streamline some of your existing ISO compliance standards. This means seeing how your hard work in the ISO 27001 standard can complement other common ISO frameworks.

What Is ISO 27017 and How Does it Impact Cloud Providers?

Oct 22, 2021 Continuum GRC 0 Comment

The ISO 27000 series is a set of important security documents released by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to provide a guideline for best practices in IT security management, ISMS development and organizational security and risk management practices. The earlier documents (27001, 27002, etc.) serve as a baseline for this series, and many of the following documents build from that foundation.

Later documents in the series develop guidelines describing more specialized applications. One of these, ISO 27017, address security practices for the expanding area of cloud infrastructure that most of our business operations rely on.

What is ISO 27004 and ISMS Monitoring?

Oct 13, 2021 Continuum GRC 0 Comment

You’ve studied ISO 27001 and, either internally or through the help of a security partner, you’ve implemented the security controls and practices therein to achieve compliance. Now, per ISO standards, it’s on you to continually monitor your ISMS, measure performance and effectiveness, and determine success. With complex ISMS, however, this can seem like a daunting prospect. Thankfully, ISO provides a framework for monitoring and measurement in the 27000 series–the ISO 27004 publication on monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation of information technology.

As part of our series on the ISO 27000 series, we turn to ISO 27004 to highlight the importance of system monitoring and evaluation from the perspective of this particular framework.
