We have a webinar about how to conduct an internal audit according to ISO 22301, which I think that can be useful for you, but you need to buy one of our toolkit to see it. I give you the following URL if you are interested in the purchase Internal audit: How to conduct it according to ISO 27001 and ISO 22301/BS 25999-2": https://www.iso27001standard.com/webinar/internal-audit-how-t************************************************************
Include controls in the SOA
We included a set of controls from 2005 version, but our SOA apparently didn't have strong justification for inclusion. And now we don't want to exclude those controls in 2013 version but sadly we cant find the strong justification.
Answer:
If there are another purpose for the inclusion of a control, you can include it in the SOA. For example, if you have controls added by ISO 27001:2005, and you dont want to exclude them, you can include as justification: Included by ISO 27001:2005
My question is: Is it required to create one big asset inventory file or it is ok to keep them separately?
Answer:
Both options are ok for the standard, but I think that you can keep each inventory files of each department/section and also you can integrate them in a unique file that you can keep separately. In this way I think that will be more easy for you for the risk assessment, because for me is more easy to work with an unique file (in the risk assessment) that with different files.
Lograr la certificacion en la norma ISO 22301
Como ya sabes, antes de la certificación tienes que implementar la ISO 22301 en tu organización, y hay muchas cosas importantes que son necesarias para hacer esto: Plan de proyecto (recursos necesarios, fechas, costes, etc), definición del alcance para la ISO 22301, implementación del PDCA (este es similar al PDCA de otras ISOs como por ejemplo ISO 9001, ISO 27001, etc), e implementar los elementos de la Continuidad de Negocio: BIA, Análisis de Riesgos, Estrategia de Continuidad de Negocio, Plan de Continuidad de Negocio, etc.
You can purchase the ISO standard directly from ISO https://www.iso.org/home.html or from the standardization body in your country.
What is the ISO 27001 standard
The International Standard that establishes a Information Security Management System is the ISO 27001, which is related with the ISO 27002 (code of best practices of information security). If you need more information about the ISO 27001, please read this article What is the ISO 27001 : https://advisera.com/27001academy/what-is-iso-27001/
Also if you need more information about specific controls (related to computers), maybe will be very interesting for you the ISO 27002, which has controls related to access control. Also remember that the standards ISOs are more related for companies and business.
Scale of BIA to determine RTOs and RPOs
I have a scale of (1-Low Impact, 2-Medium Impact, and 3-High Impact) so:
In assessing RTO/RPO for an asset what is the meaning of the impact of 1, 2, or 3?
am I correct if I say for RTO:
- Impact of 1: No user reaction at all
- Impact of 2: Some users will start calling.
- Impact of 3: Most users will be affected by unavailability of the asset in this time frame.
and for RPO:
- Impact of 1: loss of data is acceptable and data can be recreated easily.
- Impact of 2: some data loss is acceptable and missing data can be recreated easily.
- Impact of 3: no data loss is acceptable and missing data is difficult to recreate.
1.- You can read in the "Implementation guidance" of the control 14.2.5 the following: "Security should be designed into all architecture layers (business, data, applications and technology) balancing the need for information security with the need for accessibility". So, this control is related to the large information system design, which also include the development of software.
