Business Assurance Thought of the Day, IT Security, Corporate Reputation and ISO 27001
12th April 2010 by Alex Briggs
Organisations are making the link between the security of their online data and the potential risk to their corporate reputation. In a recent Websense study 98% of organisations indicated that they are under pressure from clients to protect data.
So what tools are available to help them deal with it?
Harry Archer, head of BT Australia’s Business Continuity, Security and Governance Practice, makes the case for ISO 27001. In this Computer World Australia article, he says, “IT managers must implement services according to ISO standards, with good governance and security monitoring,” “This should be followed up by audit and compliance checks and security testing in accordance with the ISO 27001 policy. Transparency with the customer is important during auditing and testing to ensure their confidence in the solution.”
