Curriculum
Introduction
This introductory section provides a foundational understanding of ISMS measurement and the ISO 27004 standard. The "Introduction" lecture sets the stage, followed by a detailed exploration of ISO 27004 itself ("About ISO 27004") and a comprehensive overview of the principles of ISMS Measurement ("ISMS Measurement").
Monitoring, Measurement, and Analysis
This section dives into the core processes of monitoring, measuring, and analyzing your ISMS. It addresses crucial questions such as: What aspects of your ISMS should be monitored and measured? ("What to Monitor?" and "What to Measure?") The optimal timing for these activities is also clarified ("When to Monitor, Measure, Analyze, and Evaluate?"), along with the roles and responsibilities involved ("Who Will Monitor, Measure, Analyze, and Evaluate?"). Finally, various types of measures are explored ("Types of Measures").
Monitoring, Measurement, Analysis and Evaluation Processes
This section introduces a model company, FinSecure Inc., which serves as a practical example throughout the course. The lectures provide a detailed overview of the entire monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation processes in the context of FinSecure Inc.
Step 1: Identify Information Needs
This section focuses on the initial crucial step of identifying information needs within your ISMS, providing a structured approach to ensure a comprehensive and relevant measurement program.
Step 2: Create and Maintain Measures
This section details the process of creating and maintaining ISMS measures. Lectures cover identifying current security practices to support information needs, developing or updating measures, a practical example from FinSecure Inc. ("Security Measure at Finsecure"), documenting and prioritizing measures for implementation, and maintaining effective communication with management.
Step 3: Establish Procedures
This section outlines the establishment of essential procedures for effective ISMS measurement. It includes lectures on stakeholder engagement, tool and methodology selection, data collection, verification, analysis, reporting, and report design and enhancement, providing a comprehensive framework for systematic data management.
Step 4: Monitor and Measure
This section focuses on the continuous monitoring and measurement of your ISMS performance. It covers analyzing results, evaluating ISMS effectiveness, reviewing and improving the entire monitoring and measurement process, and ensuring proper communication of documented information.
Conclusion
This concluding section summarizes the key takeaways from the course, reinforcing the practical application of ISO 27004 principles for optimal ISMS performance.
