Roles and responsibilities for infosec management

What I’m missing from the toolkit, are the roles and responsibilities for infosec management i.e. the A.6 organization of information security. It does not say anything about key roles and responsibilities for ISMS. And that’s what I’m after. To me, the package looks incomplete.

First of all, sorry for this confusion.

Top-level information security roles and responsibilities are defined in the Information Security Policy.

Specific roles and responsibilities for information security are defined in each template, considering activities to be performed (i.e., there is no central document specifying these ones). The parts in a template where you can find roles can be identified by a text like "[jobtitle]". For example, in the Backup policy, you have "[jobtitle] is responsible to perform backup restore."

ISO 27001 does not prescribe which roles and responsibilities must be performed, so an organization is free to define the framework that best suits it (e.g, by creating new roles, or designating information security responsibilities to already existing roles.
