ISMS — Information Security Management System implementation

For digital service providers (hosting, SaaS, cloud processing) — mandatory per CSIRT guidelines. We build ISMS: policies, procedures, monitoring, audits.

For whom?

  • Hosting and cloud computing service providers
  • SaaS and software firms (processing client data)
  • Data centers
  • eSignature validation service providers
  • Engineering service providers with critical infrastructure access
What you receive

ISMS implementation outcomes

ISMS documentation

Information security policy, incident management plans, access procedures, audit schedules. Per CSIRT guidelines.

IT asset register

Inventory of all systems, devices, data — categorized (critical, important, low). Foundation for risk management.

Incident management plan

Incident detection, reporting, documentation, resolution procedures. Escalation channels and notification paths.

Access and control policies

Access control (principle of least privilege), change auditing, employee offboarding procedures.

Monitoring and alerting

Event logging tools, anomaly detection, suspicious activity alerting.

Audits and training

Internal audit program, staff security training, phishing awareness tests.

How we work

ISMS implementation in 5 stages

  1. 01

    Current state assessment

    IT infrastructure review, systems, procedures. Interviews with ops, security, and development teams.

  2. 02

    ISMS scope definition

    Determine which systems/processes are in scope (production vs. testing). Document architectural boundaries.

  3. 03

    Policy and procedure design

    Draft security policy, incident procedures, access rules, backup/disaster recovery. Industry-tailored.

  4. 04

    Technical implementation

    System configs: logging, monitoring, alerting. Team training. Procedure testing (incident simulations).

  5. 05

    Monitoring and continuous improvement

    Weekly monitoring, monthly reviews, annual risk reviews and ISMS updates.

FAQ

Common questions

What is ISMS?
Information Security Management System — documented organizational procedures for security management. Mandatory for digital service providers per CSIRT requirements.
Is ISMS the same as ISO 27001?
Similar but not identical. ISMS is a regulatory requirement for providers. ISO 27001 is international standard. Many controls overlap — we implement together.
How long does ISMS documentation take?
Documentation (policies, procedures): 4–8 weeks. Implementation (configs, training, testing): 2–4 months.
Do you conduct internal or external ISMS audits?
Internal audits — your responsibility. We conduct them, but don't certify (no ISMS certificate, unlike ISO).
What happens if ISMS is inadequate?
CSIRT can investigate, impose fines, or escalate to prosecutors. ISMS is a legal requirement.
