Information Security Management (ISM) is an approach or methodology used to protect important information and data from any form of threat or attack. Its aim is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information within an organization.

ISM includes processes such as identifying information security risks, developing information security policies and procedures, managing access and permissions, managing network and system security, security incident management, data and hardware security management, and security awareness management.

ISM enables an organization to minimize information security risks and reduce the impact of attacks. By implementing standardized and structured processes, ISM can help organizations protect their important assets and ensure that sensitive and confidential information is safe from both external and internal threats.

ISM also plays an important role in ensuring an organization’s compliance with applicable information security regulations and standards, such as GDPR or HIPAA.

We also have a product, one of which is Key Management System.

KMS is typically used in organizations that require secure communication and data protection, such as financial institutions, healthcare providers, and government agencies. By using KMS, these organizations can ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their sensitive information and protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure.
