Confidentiality of Government Information

Our government requires its agencies to be transparent in providing information. One agency is adamant to implement ISMS because of this. How can they implement ISMS while remaining transparent?

Jeffrey,

Every organization (even the government agency) has confidential information - e.g. passwords, client information, personal data like employee information, etc.

Further, ISO 27001/ISMS is not only about protecting the confidentiality of the information - it is also about protecting integrity and availability of the information. For instance, what would happen if this agency loses its data or if its data got corrupted?

All of these are the reasons to implement ISO 27001, even in a government agency.
