ISO 27001 implementation

Main challenges related to ISO 27001 implementation are:

• Lack of management support: without this support, you won't have the minimal resources and engagement to implement the required controls.
• Not using a project management approach: such implementation involves coordinating several people to perform dozens of activities, and without a methodology, you will finish inside a huge mess with no security at all.
• Lack of time for the implementation project: The project can be very important, but normally, there are a lot of urgent things happening that postpone the project.
• ISMS scope wrongly defined: not protecting information that really matters.
• Documentation: Procedures excess or lack of details may compromise operations.
