8 Summary

This unit has discussed the importance of information assets to any modern organisation and has made the case for information security management. It has introduced you to extracts from the British Standard on Information Security Management and to the approach advocated in the Standard for establishing and managing an information security management system (ISMS). It has also introduced the PDCA cycle. A particular focus in this unit has been on the planning of an ISMS, and on the four tasks and nine stages in this process. The unit has considered in some detail the ISMS documentation and asset identification tasks.
