FAQ Consulting SERVICES

• What are the benefits and requirements from an organizational standpoint for obtaining ISO 27001 certification?

  With the increasing demand for and utilization of cloud-based services such as 'Software as a Service' (examples include SalesForce, Microsoft SharePoint, and so forth), data are progressively migrating from in-house systems to third-party online platforms. As a result, the data no longer adheres to the company's guidelines concerning incident response, backup, availability, and recovery. Therefore, a provision for backup must be enacted, and a detailed plan for migrating to an alternate system must be established to ensure both availability and business continuity. This plan, known as a Cloud Exit Strategy, is designed to examine potential alternative systems (whether local or other online platforms) and delineate the essential steps and requirements needed to transition from one service to another. It essentially functions as a migration plan, with its orientation firmly rooted in both security and the continuity of business operations.

• What is an Information Classification Policy, and what is it used for?

  Companies possess confidential and/or secret information that is crucial to their survival and profitability, such as finances, customer data, or intellectual property. An Information Classification Policy is designed to assist companies in achieving tactical data management, identifying the type of information, and defining protection, access, and handling requirements so that management and employees know how to deal with internal and partner information. This approach allows companies to safeguard their information, limit access and dissemination, and thereby prevent data loss and damage to reputation. Ultimately, this process enables the company to enforce the fundamentals of the Zero Trust Principle (Need-to-Know, Need-to-Have, Least Privilege) and prioritize investments in protecting valuable information. Overall, the implementation of an Information Classification Policy is a vital step in enhancing the company's security maturity.

• How is a Cybersecurity Program integrated into corporate governance, and how does it influence decisions?

  Cybersecurity is a top-down approach that starts with the CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) at the board or executive management level and impacts down to technical implementation. However, the CISO also interacts with other members such as the CEO and CFO for strategic decisions and financial needs, as well as with the DPO (Data Protection Officer) and the head of internal IT for coordinating efforts and providing technical solutions. Moreover, the CISO collaborates with procurement, the compliance team, and internal IT to acquire tools and systems. A Cybersecurity Program assists in identifying, categorizing, and prioritizing risks, while defining methods for risk mitigation and prioritizing financial and technological investments to reduce or entirely minimize the impact of critical risks on the business, its operations, and employees.
