International standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
Provides a framework for implementing and maintaining a robust information security management system
Focuses on protecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets

Scope: Defines the boundaries of the ISMS, including the organization, locations, and assets to be protected
Policy: Statements of intent and principles for information security management
Risk Management: Identifies, assesses, and treats risks to information assets
Objectives: Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for information security
Controls: Technical, administrative, and physical measures to mitigate risks and achieve objectives

Risk Assessment: Identify, analyze, and prioritize risks to information assets
- Identify assets, threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts
- Determine risk likelihood and impact
Risk Treatment: Select and implement controls to mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept risks
- Risk mitigation: Implement controls to reduce risk likelihood or impact
- Risk transfer: Shift risk to another party (e.g., insurance)
- Risk avoidance: Avoid activities that create risk
- Risk acceptance: Accept residual risk after implementing controls

Context of the Organization: Understand the organization's internal and external context, including stakeholders, requirements, and boundaries
Leadership and Commitment: Top management demonstrates commitment to ISMS and provides necessary resources
Planning: Establish ISMS objectives, policies, and procedures
Support: Provide necessary resources, training, and awareness programs
Operation: Implement and operate the ISMS, including risk management and control implementation
Performance Evaluation: Monitor, measure, and review ISMS performance, including internal audits and management reviews
Continual Improvement: Identify opportunities for improvement and implement changes to the ISMS
