Maintaining your information security management system
A secret to the success of maintaining your information security management system to meet clause 4.4 is having the commitment to information security from senior management, whilst also having the technology to make its administration and management a lot easier for everyone involved; information security officers, senior management, staff, suppliers and the auditors themselves.
External auditors will want to see the spirit of ISO 27001 being demonstrated and that starts with the senior management and their commitment to the technology being used to coordinate, control and demonstrate everything else works as expected.
