What is an ISMS (Information Security Management System)? | UpGuard

An information security management system (ISMS) is a broad term that encompasses an organization’s information security policies, practices, and procedures regarding information security and how these are assessed, optimized, and implemented over time. It’s more accurate to say that an ISMS provides a framework informed by the organization’s information security objectives, helps manage its cybersecurity efforts, and safeguards its information assets.

When everyone follows the same information security policies, it’s easier to manage an information system and identify and remediate issues.

This ensures that the organization has established an adequate framework that can implement and maintain the information security policies.

An ISMS ensures that a business can protect its information assets and has a robust system in place to help the firm grow safely and stay ahead of new information security risks.
