ISO 27001 Implementation in Mysore – How We Helped a Tech Company Build a Secure ISMS

We followed a clause-by-clause ISO 27001 approach and customized it to suit the company’s size, nature of services, and operational environment.

1️ Context of the Organization

We began by identifying:

• Internal issues like staff skills, infrastructure gaps
• External risks such as changing compliance laws and client expectations
• Stakeholders including employees, regulators, partners, and customers

This laid the foundation for a targeted ISMS framework.

2️ ISMS Scope Definition

We helped define the boundaries of the ISMS to ensure:

• It covered all business processes related to information security
• Remote working, client systems, and third-party access were included
• Clear exclusions were justified

3️ ISMS Manual Development

We developed a complete, ISO-aligned ISMS Manual containing:

• Security policies and objectives
• Roles and responsibilities
• Risk treatment methodology
• Performance monitoring and audit guidance
• Documentation structure and version control

This served as the backbone of their ISO implementation.

4️ Risk Identification and SoA

We:

• Identified likely threats (unauthorized access, phishing, data loss)
• Rated risks based on likelihood and impact
• Created a Statement of Applicability (SoA) for 114 controls
• Suggested applicable safeguards and mitigation strategies

5️ Awareness, Roles & Responsibilities

We helped establish:

• Clear ownership for each security process (HR, IT, Admin, Management)
• Internal training and awareness programs
• Audit and escalation channels for security incidents
