What does Management Review incorporate?

The management review should consider the requirements of  Clause 9.3 from ISO 27001:2013, which helps the top management to facilitate effective reviews and strategic decisions which is best suited for the business needs. There are some ways by which management can review the ISMS, like receiving and reviewing measurements and reports, transmission, verbal updates. Top management should include reporting on ISMS efficiency and should frequently review it. The primary components of  the management review include the result of the information security assessment, results of internal audit, risk assessment and the status of risk management plan. While assessing the information security risk assessment, the management should check that the residual risk fulfills risk acceptance criteria that cover all applicable risks and their risk treatment options in the risk treatment plan.All aspects of the ISMS should be reviewed by management at planned intervals, a minimum of yearly, by fixing suitable schedules and agenda items in management meetings. Also, recently implemented ISMS should be reviewed frequently by management to increase overall effectiveness.

What should be the agenda of the management review?

The standard ISO 27001 – 9.3 Management review shall consider the following topics :-

  1. Status of actions from previous management reviews;
  2. Changes in external and internal issues that are relevant to the ISMS;
  3. Feedback on the information security performance, including trends, in;
  4. Non conformities and corrective actions;
  5. Monitoring and measurement results;

Audit results; 

  1. Fulfillment of information security objectives.
  2. Feedback from stakeholders , including suggestions for improvement, requests for change and complaints;
  3. Results of information security risk assessment(s) and status of risk treatment plan; and
  4. Opportunities for continual improvement, including efficiency improvements for both the ISMS and information security controls.

The input for the management review should be at an acceptable level of detail, consistent with the objectives set for the organization. For example, just a description of all things, aligned with information security objectives or high-level objectives, will be reviewed by top management.

The end result of this management review process will include continuous improvement of ISMS and will also address any changes if required in ISMS. End results may also include evidence of selections regarding-

  1. Changes in information security policy
  2. Changes in risk acceptance criteria and also the criteria for performing information security risk assessments
  3. Updating information security risk treatment plan or Statement of Applicability
  4. Necessary improvements in monitoring and measuring activities

ISO 27001 Clause 8.1, Clause 8.2, Clause 8.3 Operational planning & control

info savvy

ISO 27001 Clause 8.1, Clause 8.2, Clause 8.3 Operational planning & control, This article will explain related all these things etc.

Required activity

The organization plans, implements and controls the processes to satisfy its information security requirements and to realize its information security objectives. The organization keeps documented information as necessary to possess confidence that processes are administered as planned. The organization controls planned changes and reviews the results of unintended changes, and ensures that outsourced processes are identified, defined and controlled.

Implementation Guideline

The processes that a corporation uses to satisfy its information security requirements are planned, and once implemented, they’re controlled, particularly when changes are required. Building on the design of the ISMS, the organization performs the required operational planning and activities to implement the processes needed to fulfil the knowledge security requirements.

Processes to satisfy information security requirements include:

  1. ISMS processes (e.g. management review, internal audit);
  2. Processes required for implementing the knowledge security risk treatment plan.

Implementation of plans leads to operated and controlled processes.

The organization ultimately remains liable for planning and controlling any outsourced processes so as to realize its information security objectives. Thus, the organization needs to:

  1. Determine outsourced processes considering the knowledge security risks associated with the outsourcing;
  2. Make sure that outsourced processes are controlled (i.e. planned, monitored and reviewed) during a manner that gives assurance that they operate as intended (also considering information security objectives and therefore the information security risk treatment plan).

After the implementation is completed, the processes are managed, monitored and reviewed to make sure that they still fulfil the wants determined after understanding the requirements and expectations of interested parties. Changes of the ISMS operational are often either planned or they occur unintended. Whenever the organization makes changes to the ISMS (as a result of planning or unintentionally), it assesses the potential consequences of the changes to regulate any adverse effects.The organization can get confidence about the effectiveness of the implementation of plans by documenting activities and using documented information as input to the performance evaluation processes laid out in Clause 9. The organization therefore establishes the specified documented information to stay.The processes that are defined as a result of the design described in Clause 6 should be implemented, operated and verified throughout the organization. 

the subsequent should be considered and implemented:

  1. Processes that are specific for the managementof data security (such as risk management, incident management, continuity management, internal audits, management reviews);
  2. Processes emanating from information security controls within the information security risk treatment plan;
  3. Reporting structures (contents, frequency, format, responsibilities, etc.) within the knowledge security area, for instance incident reports, reports on measuring the fulfillment of data security objectives, reports on performed activities;
  4. Meeting structures (frequency, participants, purpose and authorization) within the knowledge security area. Information security activities should be coordinated by representatives from different parts of the organization with relevant roles and job functions for effective management of the knowledge security area.

For planned changes, the organization should:

  1. Plan their implementation and assign tasks, responsibilities, deadlines and resources;
  2. Implement changes consistent with the plan;
  3. Monitor their implementation to verify that they’re implemented consistent with the plan;
  4. Collect and retain documented information on the execution of the changes as evidence that they need been administered as planned (e.g. with responsibilities, deadlines, effectiveness evaluations).

For observed unintended changes, the organization should:

  1. Review their consequences;
  2. Determine whether any adverse effects have already occurred or can occur within the future;
  3. Plan and implement actions to mitigate any adverse effects as necessary;
  4. Collect and retain documented information on unintended changes and actions taken to mitigate adverse effects.

If a part of the organization’s functions or processes are outsourced to suppliers, the organization should:

  1. Determine all outsourcing relationships;
  2. Establish appropriate interfaces to the suppliers;
  3. Address information security related issues within the supplier agreements;
  4. Monitor and review the supplier services to make sure that they’re operated as intended and associated information security risks meet the risk acceptance criteria of the organization;
  5. Manage changes to the supplier services as necessary.

Clause 8.2 Information security risk assessment

Required activity

The organization performs information security risk assessments and retains documented information on their results.

Implementation Guideline

When performing information security risk assessments, the organization executes the method defined. These assessments are either executed consistent with a schedule defined beforehand, or in response to significant changes or information security incidents. The results of the knowledge security risk assessments are retained in documented information as evidence that the method in 6.1.2 has been performed as defined. Documented information from information security risk assessments is important for information security risk treatment and is effective for performance evaluation.Organizations should have an idea for conducting scheduled information security risk assessments. When any significant changes of the ISMS (or its context) or information security incidents have occurred, the organization should determine:

  1. Which of those changes or incidents require a further information security risk assessment;
  2. How these assessments are triggered.

The level of detail of the risk identification should be refined step by step in further iterations of the knowledge security risk assessment within the context of the continual improvement of the ISMS. A broad information security risk assessment should be performed a minimum of once a year.
