Security Management
An Integrated Approach
Security Management is a broad concept that encompasses business and IT as partners in ensuring that the interests of the business and its stakeholders are effectively addressed in a time where security threats are increasing and IT resources are stretched.
Given the scope and complexity of this challenge, it is not surprising that a number of frameworks and standards exist including:
- AS 7799
- ISO 17799 / ISO 27001
- ITIL Security Management
- SABSA
Adopting and adapting the optimal approach for your organisation is complex and depends on the level of threat, current process maturity and scale of the organisation.
One characteristic common to the above models is the requirement for a systematic process approach to Security Management. This allows for continuous improvement and ongoing alignment to organisational changes or evolving security scenarios.
At Lucid IT, we are able to examine the Security Management requirements of our clients and help design a solution that integrates with other management processes such as Service Level Management, Availability Management, Change Management, Project Management and Business Continuity Management. We can also look at the implications for vendor relationships, internal staff roles and interfaces to the business.
