ISO 27001 advocates the use of an Information Security Management System (an ISMS for short), which is made up of a standardised set of policies, processes and procedures to enable you to identify what information needs to be protected, what types of protection you require and what mitigating actions can be taken to address any identified risks.  In effect, your ISMS outlines the approach you take to managing your information security.

We’d like to thank our assessor for his usual thorough and fully detailed attention to our system. Our ISMS is being spoken about in much awe and reverence within the wider organisation and I can honestly say that, without his support and wisdom over the last few years, this would not be happening.
