  • Which comes first in risk assessment: threat or asset?

    We are a small organization say 100 employees or even less. For risk assessment purpose, I chose the threat and then thought about which assets would get affected, and then the vulnerabilities were identified. However, in the toolkit you advise to select the asset then the threats and then map vulnerabilities. Is my approach correct or should i rework this activity.
  • Regarding ISO 27001

    Hi, Please provide your view on this   I've invited External auditor for ISO 27001 for one of the client. As if now, the client  Datacenter managed by them (Datacenter room is situated in same building where client is operating (workplace)  but all other controls are managed by client only) Now client is planning to move their data center at different place provided third party datacenter provider.

  • Security Policy Information

    I would like to get your opinion regarding an issue on Security Policy Information . The A.5.1 control 27001 : 2005 provides that the Security Policy Information should be critically analyzed at planned intervals or when significant changes occur. In the case of significant changes were not identified during the review of the Policy, you understand that we can maintain the same policy and that there is no need to republish it ?

  • Do we need to document each control?

    I have a question on the mandatory documents; does this means that, even if in the risk assessment step or building our SOA we find any control that are applicable to our company, we not necessarily have to document it? Or this mandatory documents are a complement to those documents you create from the risk assessment  and SOA?
  • Why write policies before the risk assessment

    I am still not sure why/how we could 'set the Policies' (2nd step, the 1st being the 'scope') first before performing a formal risk assessment. Would you be able to clarify it for me please?
  • Enterprise risk management and ISO 27001

    1. The revised standards refers to ISO 31000 to conduct risk assessment which mean to take the risk assessment in Enterprise perspective rather asset base. Further if we go by asset base, we might not identify the enterprise level security risk in macro view or top down risk. eg: reputational, image, loss of competiveness, Lost of strategic opportunities etc.
