What is a Management System?

A management system provides a framework to allow an organisation to effectively manage risks, meet stakeholder needs, and achieve its objectives. These Management Systems can be implemented as a standalone Management System or as an Integrated Management System which combines multiple standards into a single, cohesive structure to streamline operations and eliminate redundancy. The following standards are supported:

[ ISO/IEC 27001 ]

[ HOW WE WORK ]

Clear direction.
Practical support.

Engagements range from a short readiness assessment to a multi-month implementation programme, and frequently continue as an ongoing internal audit relationship.

  1. Assess

    Understand and assess

    Gap analysis against the requirements, a risk assessment that reflects how the organisation actually works, and an honest view of what has to change.

    • Gap analysis
    • Risk assessment
    • Scope and context
  2. Build

    Design and implement

    Documentation, registers, processes and controls built around existing operations rather than bolted on beside them. Multiple standards run as one system.

    • System design
    • Controls and documentation
    • Integration across standards
  3. Assure

    Audit and improve

    Internal audits by a practising lead auditor, management review support, and the improvement cycle that keeps the system alive between external assessments.

    • Internal auditing
    • Management review
    • Certification support

Three properties every control holds in balance

Confidentiality
Information accessible only to authorised people and systems.
Integrity
Information that stays accurate, complete and protected from improper change.
Availability
Information and systems accessible when authorised users need them.

Confidentiality, integrity and availability sit at the heart of ISO/IEC 27001. A control that protects one at the expense of another is rarely the right control. The work is in the balance.
