ISMS -Information Security Management System

The progress of data protection standards implementation in Malaysia is slowly gathering pace and its importance is becoming more and more apparent to organizations around the country.

Now a day, Malaysia Government is encouraging the IT company to apply the ISO/IEC 27001:2005 to protect the company assets and information.

What is an Information Security Management System?

An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It encompasses people, processes and IT systems. BSI published a code of practice for these systems, which has now been adopted internationally as ISO/IEC 27001:2005.
