Systematic security governance
ISO 27001 requires a structured management system with clear processes for governance, documentation, and continuous improvement of information security.
Risk-based approach
The standard's core is a thorough risk assessment process that helps you identify, analyze, and manage security risks throughout the entire business, including the supply chain.
Supplier security
ISO 27001 requires organizations to verify that external parties with access to information follow the same security requirements, which requires supplier assessments.
ChainSec consolidates security work in one platform where you can manage risks, control suppliers, and document your work according to ISO 27001 - without scattered information and manual processes.
What does ISO 27001 entail?
ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security that helps organizations implement, monitor, and continuously improve an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard provides a systematic approach to protecting sensitive information.
To meet the requirements in ISO 27001, your organization needs to:
Establishment of a systematic Information Security Management System (ISMS)
Control over internal and external risks with structured risk management
Continuous improvement with measurable security goals and follow-up
How ChainSec supports your ISO 27001 work
ChainSec's platform helps you build and maintain a structured ISMS (Information Security Management System). The system simplifies risk assessments, documentation of security controls, and continuous improvement throughout the certification process.
Risk assessment of information assets
Identify and document your information assets in the system. The platform helps you assess threats and vulnerabilities according to ISO 27001's risk management process, categorize risks based on likelihood and consequence, and select appropriate security controls from Annex A to manage identified risks.
Implementation of security controls
Document and follow up on the implementation of security controls from Annex A in the platform. The system helps you create a Statement of Applicability (SoA), keep track of which controls are implemented, and ensure all relevant controls are in place and functioning according to ISO 27001 requirements.
ISMS documentation and policies
Consolidate all ISMS documentation in a central system. The platform supports you in documenting information security policies, processes and procedures, managing risk registers and treatment registers, and generating reports for management review and certification audits.
Continuous improvement and action management
Get an overview of your ISMS via the dashboard and follow up on security work systematically. The system helps you identify non-conformities, create action plans with deadlines and responsibilities, follow up on corrective actions, and ensure continuous improvement according to ISO 27001's PDCA model.
