Available software tools and resources
A range of information security products and services are currently available on the market. Many are based on physical safeguards (locks, gates, fences, extinguishers, guards, etc.) and technical controls (firewalls, biometrics, encryption, etc.). When it comes to adopting administrative safeguards, however, often companies forget how important these are.
But information security isn’t complete without the development and publication of security policies and procedures, or employee awareness and training programs, to name only those. Information security is really an ongoing risk management process and therefore requires tools that meet these needs.
Beyond any doubt, ISO 17799 offers what companies need in order to better manage information security. The best way to implement this standard is to ease the process using multiuser software that will collect the information required and that contains the principal tools that will be needed along the way. Start with a simple and efficient risk assessment tool that generates recommendations based on the ISO 17799 code of practice for each of the informational contexts identified. Add to that a complete methodology, compliance questionnaires, a security policy generator, an integrated document manager, examples, templates and information guides regarding the implementation and audit of ISO 17799 controls, and managers will quickly understand that such a tool can save the company much time and money. This software exists: it is a Web application called Callio Secura 17799, created by Callio Technologies Incorporated. A demo version of Callio Secura 17799 can be downloaded at the following address: www.callio.com. |
