ISO 27001:2022 transition challenges and how to use ISO 27002 Matthew Peers from IT Governance Ltd once again offers his practical expert insight, this time into ISO 27001:2022 transition challenges. Also, I love how he refers to ISO 27002: the “good ideas book” :) As Matthew explained: “If you’re struggling with how to implement a given control, look at the guidance in ISO 27002. It’ll jog your memory, or spark some ideas to get you on the right track. “Or you might come at it from the other direction: ‘This is how we’ve previously done it; is there a better way of achieving that?’ Then you’d refer to ISO 27002 to see if you can borrow ideas. “It can also trigger ideas by reminding you of things you need to achieve, even without being specific about how to achieve them.” Read the full interview 👇 https://lnkd.in/gxdxBXS6

🔍💼 Business Owners, Will Your IT Let You Down? 💻🔧 Birmingham City Council’s recent IT struggles highlight a crucial lesson for all of us: the importance of having robust, reliable IT systems. Earlier this year, the council’s IT issues were so severe that they contributed to its financial troubles, even leading to bankruptcy. The latest disruption, which was not caused by a cyber attack but by internal changes, shows how vital it is to ensure that any updates or changes to your IT infrastructure are thoroughly tested and meticulously planned. These interruptions can affect #internet access and #email services, cause significant inconvenience and expense. #ITSupport https://lnkd.in/eUiui9jY

The announcement from the #ICO this morning indicating a fine for a #ransomware attack could follow is an important one. There have not been many enforcement notices published in relation to #cyberattacks, relative to the high volume of #breach notifications the ICO receives. So where these are published, they should be considered carefully. The press release highlights the sensitivity of the data involved and talks about the importance of #security measures. From this statement alone, it is worth noting that multi-factor authentication (#MFA) is mentioned 4 times! Clearly a significant factor that the ICO is signalling. Our team tracks security #TOMs referenced in enforcement decisions across the world and this aligns with what other regulators are flagging. The other measures mentioned, which also align with our TOMs tracker are the following: - regularly checking for #vulnerabilities, and - keeping systems up to date with the latest security #patches
