This role includes setting security policies and frameworks, managing risk assessments, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

Implementing ISO 27001 or E-ITS in a company involves establishing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS) tailored to the organization’s needs. This process starts with a comprehensive assessment of information security risks, allowing the organization to identify and prioritize threats and vulnerabilities effectively. After that a set of security controls and policies is developed and implemented, designed to mitigate identified risks and ensure compliance with the standard. Throughout the implementation, the organization undergoes regular activities to foster an ongoing culture of security improvement.
Information security training in a company is a critical component of its overall security strategy, aimed at educating employees about various cyber threats and the best practices to mitigate them. This training typically covers topics such as password security, phishing awareness, safe internet usage, and data protection policies specific to the organization. It is often delivered through a combination of online modules, workshops, and hands-on exercises to engage employees and reinforce learning. Regular updates and refresher courses are also crucial to keep the workforce informed about new security challenges and changes in company policies.
