Read Full Overview
The "Mini Bundle: ISMS Startup Pack - SME" is carefully designed for small and medium-sized enterprises that are either building their first Information Security Management System (ISMS) or preparing for ISO 27001:2022 certification audits. This foundational pack includes six core policies that together form the backbone of any serious ISMS implementation, eliminating confusion and reducing startup time. The Information Security Policy provides organizational leadership with clear mandates and principles governing the company’s approach to cybersecurity and data protection. It defines how information assets are protected, who is responsible for maintaining security, and establishes leadership commitment fully aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and other global frameworks. Governance Roles and Responsibilities ensure that ownership, accountability, and oversight structures are documented for every security activity. This allows auditors, regulators, and management to verify that security duties are assigned to appropriate individuals across IT, security, compliance, and executive functions. Access Control, one of the highest priority controls in ISO 27001:2022 Annex A, defines how user access to systems, data, and resources is provisioned, reviewed, and revoked. This protects the business against unauthorized access, insider threats, and data leakage, while demonstrating full audit traceability. Change Management governs how any system, infrastructure, software, or vendor change is approved, tested, and documented, ensuring operational stability, security, and audit defensibility for any modifications to production environments. The Risk Management Policy delivers a complete methodology for identifying, evaluating, and treating risks across business processes, third parties, technologies, and human factors. It includes risk registers, asset-based threat modeling, and continuous monitoring processes. Finally, the Backup and Restore Policy ensures business continuity by defining backup frequency, storage practices, testing protocols, and recovery point objectives, protecting organizational data integrity across all digital assets. This ISMS Startup Pack provides SMEs with peace of mind, allowing them to rapidly establish governance structures that satisfy external auditors, vendors, customers, and regulatory bodies, while avoiding the complexity of large enterprise frameworks. Designed for real-world small business constraints, these policies enable SMEs to launch a credible ISMS that scales as their organization grows.
