An information security management system (ISMS) is a set of policies, procedures, and controls that help an organization protect its information assets from various threats. However, an ISMS is not a static system that can be implemented once and forgotten. It needs to be regularly audited and reviewed to ensure its effectiveness, compliance, and alignment with the organization's risk management strategy. In this article, you will learn how to align the ISMS audit and review process with your company's risk management strategy and improve your network security posture.

1 Define your ISMS scope and objectives

Before you can audit and review your ISMS, you need to define its scope and objectives clearly. The scope determines which information assets, processes, and locations are covered by the ISMS, and the objectives define what you want to achieve with the ISMS. The scope and objectives should be aligned with your company's risk management strategy, which identifies the key risks to your information assets, their impact, and their likelihood. You should also consider the legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements that apply to your information assets and how they affect your ISMS scope and objectives.

2 Establish your ISMS audit and review plan

Once you have defined your ISMS scope and objectives, you need to establish a plan for auditing and reviewing your ISMS. The plan should specify the frequency, scope, criteria, methods, roles, and responsibilities for conducting the ISMS audits and reviews. The plan should also include the processes for reporting, documenting, and communicating the results and recommendations of the audits and reviews. The plan should be aligned with your company's risk management strategy, which determines the priority, urgency, and resources for addressing the identified risks and gaps in your ISMS.

3 Conduct your ISMS audits and reviews

The next step is to conduct your ISMS audits and reviews according to your plan. The audits and reviews should assess the performance, effectiveness, and compliance of your ISMS against the defined scope, objectives, and criteria. The audits and reviews should also identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of your ISMS and how they affect your network security posture. The audits and reviews should be conducted by competent and independent auditors and reviewers who have the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience in network security and ISMS standards.

4 Analyze your ISMS audit and review findings

After conducting your ISMS audits and reviews, you need to analyze the findings and evaluate their implications for your network security posture. The analysis should compare the actual performance, effectiveness, and compliance of your ISMS with the expected or desired outcomes and identify any gaps, deviations, or nonconformities. The analysis should also prioritize the findings based on their risk level, impact, and urgency and propose corrective and preventive actions to address them. The analysis should be aligned with your company's risk management strategy, which provides the framework and criteria for assessing and managing the risks to your information assets.

5 Implement your ISMS audit and review actions

The final step is to implement the actions resulting from your ISMS audit and review analysis. The actions should aim to improve the performance, effectiveness, and compliance of your ISMS and enhance your network security posture. The actions should also monitor and measure the progress and outcomes of the implementation and verify that the desired results are achieved. The actions should be aligned with your company's risk management strategy, which defines the roles, responsibilities, and resources for implementing and managing the actions and ensuring their sustainability and continuity.
