Information security is a major concern for many businesses for two reasons. Firstly is persistent threat of cyber attacks and data breaches. That’s why strong information security is a requirement to ensure the security of business and personal data. Secondly, it’s a key business enabler, with a push in recent times for all parts of a supply chain to become ISO 27001 certified.
Businesses that manage personal information will need to ensure they meet industry regulations and standards, such as the GDPR and ISO 27001. However, achieving compliance with either of these frameworks can prove to be challenging for many SMEs because of a lack of resources and understanding the importance of compliance. Both ISO 27001 and the GDPR are not trivial undertakings, and the impacts of incorrect compliance can range from lawsuits from a contract breach to multi-million fines from regulatory authorities.
Breaking down barriers to implementation has become more achievable with virtual Chief Information Security Officers (vCISO) for businesses with tighter budgets and specific security requirements. Here, we discuss whether your business needs a vCISO to help you achieve compliance to ISO 27001, and how one can help your business maintain certification while improving your information security management system (ISMS).
It’s not mandatory, but it is a good idea. ISO 27001 doesn’t require businesses to appoint a vCISO or CISO to achieve certification. However, for smaller business, it’s hugely helpful to outsource a virtual CISO to bridge the knowledge gap, ensuing that procedures are correctly followed on the journey to compliance, and that the ISMS is correctly managed.
A vCISO can help bring vital knowledge and experience to businesses for whom a full-time CISO is difficult to recruit or afford. Virtual CISOs give SMEs a better understanding of ISO 27001 and what’s really required to maintain certification during its three-year recertification cycle.
We’ve written before about the challenges of implementing ISO 27001, but where a vCISO can really add extra value is in maintaining your certification. Successful compliance is an on-going, living part of your organisation which needs to be driven by someone with seniority and experience. In other words, by a virtual CISO. They’ll not only conduct robust reviews of your business's security framework, by hiring a vCISO, organisations can also benefit from the following key factors:
One of the most important elements of hiring a vCISO for ISO 27001 is to deliver better management of your ISMS, uncovering and dealing with nonconformities before they come bigger problems. In my experience, businesses generally have an idea of what ISO 27001 is, but they don’t have the same awareness of how to maintain ISO certification. More often than not, they also lack the resources to commit time and effort into effectively managing their certification. Your employees aren’t expected to be ISO or compliance experts, which is where a vCISO can help: taking the pressure away from your businesses and your employees.
Best practices are an important part of any security assessment, so a good pen test will follow standard methodology:
vCISOs are very often the best way for your business to meet, maintain, and drive forward ISO 27001 compliance. It’s much more cost-effective and available than a dedicated hire, meaning even smaller businesses can access top-tier strategy and insight. Ultimately this is boosting your reputation as a trusted organisation that follows security practices effectively and can contribute significantly to winning new business.
