How Thrive Can Help
The golden triangle for digital transformation is people – process – technology. Thrive’s combination of consulting teams and security services helps you build out the technology foundation, process improvements, and culture for successfully adopting the ISO 27001 framework.
Thrive takes a programmatic, reality-based approach to standards adoption, starting with gap assessments according to ISO 27001 security measures, risk assessments, and policy development. From there, our deep security portfolio can help you design a mature security practice, from 24/7 monitoring and threat detection to continual vulnerability management to incident response planning. Long-term, our vCISO, vCIO, and advisory services can help maintain your security posture with structured project planning, management and strategy reviews, and valuable business metrics. In parallel, our managed GRC programs can keep your documentation up-to-date, monitor any changes to regulations, and create roadmaps to maintain your compliance standing.
Note: Nothing herein shall constitute legal advice, compliance directives, or otherwise. Customers and prospective customers should consult a solicitor and/or other compliance professional regarding their organisations’ compliance obligations, including, without limitation, the regulations described herein.
ISO 27001
The International Organization for Standardization publishes guidelines and recommendations across a variety of different technology fields, to create consistency and reliability that allows growth and development internationally. ISO 27001 differs from many of the other compliance and regulation frameworks used by Thrive clients because it is not focused on specific technology implementations or requirements – instead it is focused on the management and security of the information itself, regardless of format or location.
ISO 27001 provides guidelines for how organizations can create and implement information security management systems (ISMS), covering everything from risk assessments to policies around data management. This standard defines principles for how to manage information securely, rather than setting controls or requirements for technology implementation. Because these are general principles, ISO 27001 can be applied to any type and size of organization.
One benefit of ISO 27001 is that it reframes information security as a strategic objective.
ISO 27001 provides a systematic framework—through policies, procedures, and security measures—to protect organizational data’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability. ISO 27001 defines a Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle that encourages continuous, methodical improvement across policies, technologies, and culture.
Multi-layered, Comprehensive Security Technologies
IT security is not one single technology or configuration. Thrive takes an integrated approach to technology, following Gartner’s Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) framework. CSMA is a distributed, composable architecture that incorporates different security tools and services across hybrid environments and centralizes policies, access controls, and automation. This framework enables faster implementation, consistent governance, and scalable service delivery, in a flexible way that can evolve as your IT infrastructure and compliance requirements mature.
A multi-layered, flexible architecture can strengthen your security posture (and help define your ISO 27001 implementation) by creating a security stack that reflects your unique information management systems, internal processes, and strategic objectives.
