How to implement all policies and procedures for stage 2
I've received this question:
We have passed Stage 1, Could you please suggest how to implement all policies and procedures for stage 2 and what exactly they check on Stage 2.
Answer: At Stage 2 audit, the certification auditors will check if you really operate according to your policies and procedures - so for example if you have written that you will perform backup every 2 hours, then the auditor will check if this is really done so.
So the answer to your question is: you have to observe all the rules you have documented.
Change in risk assessment methodology in ISO 27001:2013
In the new ISMS Standard, is there any change in the methodology of calculating Risk to be adopted?
Process approach in ISO 27001:2013
ISO 27001: 2013 is said to no longer be used the process approach. Based on that, it means that the ISMS is to apply to the whole organization, or I can continue implementing an ISMS to a specific company process as long as you define (as always should be) the scope where you will deploy.
Reasonable prices for ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 27002:2013?
I saw on the ISO website that these two standards have been published. Could you please tell me where can I purchase/ receive copies for my personal reference at reasonable prices. ISO offers them at exorbitant prices
How specifically is this list used? I am having a difficult time trying to ascertain what should be listed?

Hi Dejan,
I am actually drafting some ISO 27001 mandatory procedures,
Regarding the Information Security Incident Management Procedures, I have noticed that there is 3 procedures :

Thanks in advance

1= marginal impact, 2=acceptable impact, 3=high impact, 4=catastrophic impact
MTPD = 36 hours (?) this will be used to work on RTO with consideration also on dependencies.
What about the rest of the MTPD under the other items, a, c, d, e? Are they taken into consideration with the overall MTPD?
Answer: Yes, judging from this BIA Questionnaire, MTPD for this activity will be between 24 hours and 48 hours because in question b. this is where the assessment "3" has appeared for the first time. Whether it will be closer to 24 hours or closer to 48 hours is a matter of discussion with the responsible person from this activity.
The rest of the answers (a, c, d and e) are not relevant because they are not so time critical - you always have to take the answers that are the most time critical.
Is ISO 27001 risk assessment good enough for BCM?
When the risk assessment for the BCM will performed by the ISRM (Information Security Risk Management) Department according to ISO 27001 for the BCM department followed the ISO 22301 and GPG (Good Practice Guide), some adjustments are necessary. Isn't it?
