ISMS implementation - digital banking sw engineering
As part of a case study I'm working on, I need to describe a plan of action and the expected impact on the SW engineering dept of a digital banking company. The new CISO decided to introduce an ISO27001 ISMS and aims for the certification in 3 years. I have been tasked with implementing this framework in the SW engineering dept.
Can you help me structure the main guidelines and controls I should look at? I can make assumptions of course, but I'm not really sure how to best tackle.

For the implementation of ISO 27001, after getting support for the project (through approval of the ISMS project plan) and approval of the Procedure for Document and Record Control, you should consider these steps:
- defining ISMS basic framework (e.g., scope, objectives, organizational structure), by understanding the organizational context and requirements of interested parties
- development of risk assessment and treatment methodology
- perform a risk assessment and define the risk treatment plan
- controls implementation (e.g., policies and procedures documentation, acquisitions, etc.). Considering an SW engineering department, mostly certain, you will need to consider the controls from section A.14 - System acquisition, development, and maintenance
- people training and awareness
- controls operation
- performance monitoring and measurement
- perform internal audit
- perform management critical review
- address nonconformities, corrective actions, and opportunities for improvement.
