The primary purpose of an information security management system (ISMS) is to provide a structured framework for managing and protecting sensitive information. The ISMS encompasses a set of policies, procedures, and controls to mitigate risks and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. By aligning with standards such as ISO 27001, organizations can systematically approach information security management, assess potential vulnerabilities, and implement measures to safeguard assets. This proactive stance helps in maintaining stakeholder trust and regulatory compliance while reducing the impacts of security incidents.
