Information security and privacy

Information security

Information security is about preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. In other words: ensuring that information is not accessible to unauthorized parties, while at the same time ensuring that it is accessible to those who should have access.

Three important concepts in information security:

Confidentiality: Information should not be accessible to unauthorized persons, entities or processes.
Integrity: Information must be correct and komplett .
Availability: Information should be available and usable when authorized persons need it.

GDPR integrated into management system

With GDPR came new guidelines for information security and privacy. In 4human QM365's systems include features that meet the requirements of GDPR and ISO 27001 - the standard for information security.

You can, among other things:

• Perform information security risk assessments.
• Handle non-compliance related to information security.
• Register and process assets according to data retention and deletion requirements.

The availability of these features makes it easy for businesses to comply with applicable laws and guidelines.

Certification in information security

Third-party certification is the easiest way to demonstrate control over information security. ISO 27001 provides a structure for building and continuously improving security. An information security system consists of policies, procedures, guidelines, resources and activities – a systematic methodology for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving security so that business objectives can be achieved.

Key elements of ISO 27001

• Assets : All information and information carriers with value to the business must be mapped.
• Risk work : Threats and vulnerabilities related to assets must be assessed and documented with measures.
• Security measures : ISO 27001 Appendix A contains 114 measures that must be assessed. Missing measures must be documented, and residual risk must be assessed.

Prove your focus!

Information security is the foundation of any business. Documenting control over information can be challenging without certification. An ISO 27001 certificate shows customers, suppliers and authorities that the business is in control and actively working towards improvement.
