You’re not alone. In the urgent quest to protect against the undeniably real and present war over valuable information, every standard development organization under the sun has developed guidelines to guard against these vicious attacks.
The resulting zoo of open and industry-specific standards and frameworks has become extremely confusing to dissect and navigate.
ISO27001, NIST-2, TISAX®, SOC2, ISO62434, NIST-853, IEC62434 – this is just a small excerpt from the list of dozens of standards in this sector.
Fret not – it’s easier to get started than you might expect.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰:
Build on step 1-3 to complete the implementation of your new Information Security Management System (ISMS), by whichever standard is most suitable to your organization.
An ISMS is the foundation for any specific standards and frameworks applicable to your individual organization. It controls, owns, and monitors the implementation, execution, and continuous improvement of itself and any further security and continuity standard you pursue. It’s the starting point and multiplier of your business security and continuity needs.
Our team of experienced management consultants and Information Security experts is ready to help you through every step along the way and break it all down into manageable steppingstones.
By the way, the guy on the left would be me before my 3 pm coffee… Don’t judge.
