Full Time ISMS Manager
Thank you very much for your responses so far much appreciated. Just a quick question, does a small organisation with lets say 90 staff globally require a full time ISMS manager, or should this role be given on a part-time basis or an ad-hoc basis?

For such a small company you do not need a full-time ISMS manager (needed activities will take him/her perhaps 20% of the time), so this role can be given as an additional function to an already exiting role in your organization, probably someone from the top management, or someone which answer directly to them.
Since related activities must be performed at certain periodicity, you should avoid designate them on an ad-hoc basis, because of risk to lose information when the activities are transferred from one person to another.
