ISO 27001 focuses on protecting information through a structured Information Security Management System (ISMS). In The Fact Board, this is supported by a set of measurable facts that provide insight into the organization’s information security posture.
These facts include the identification of information assets and security risks, the number of high-risk issues, and the implementation rate of risk treatment actions. Organizations also monitor security incidents, security awareness training coverage, and the completion of access rights reviews.
In addition, internal audit findings and the closure of corrective actions provide visibility into the effectiveness of the ISMS.
By managing these facts centrally, organizations can monitor risks, improve security controls, and ensure that information security is managed in a structured and fact-based way.
