ISMS for Compliance and IT Security
A well-designed ISMS not only offers protection against cyber threats, but also promotes the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes. It creates clear structures for information management, improves a company’s ability to respond to security incidents and increases general operational security.
What does ISMS mean?
An ISMS is essential to safeguard the digital and physical security of company data. With an ISMS, companies establish procedures and rules to define, control, monitor, maintain and continuously improve the information security of their IT infrastructure. This helps to fulfill compliance requirements and strengthen the trust of customers and partners. An effective ISMS reduces risks, optimizes security management and at the same time helps to reduce security costs through targeted investments.
