In this episode of InfoSec Insider, Mark O’Kane, Consultant at URM, offers his insights into the information security management controls within Annex A of ISO 27001, which comprise the first eight controls of Annex A’s ‘Organisational’ control theme.  Mark leverages his extensive experience supporting ISO 27001 implementations to discuss:

• What the organisational controls are, and how the first eight fit into the overall aim of the ‘Organisational’ control theme
• The role of management and senior leadership in relation to information security, and how leadership is linked to the creation of information security policies
• The importance of segregation of duties and clearly defined roles and responsibilities in addressing information security risk
• How maintaining contact with authorities, special interest groups, and threat intelligence sources can help you address both security risks that may materialise and security incidents that have occurred
• Common challenges and mistakes associated with implementing these controls, and how they can be overcome.
