{tableName=glossary, name=COBIT Framework Principles, description= The COBIT Framework Principles are a set of seven guiding principles for the effective governance and management of enterprise IT. The COBIT framework is a comprehensive, widely accepted approach to IT governance and management that provides organizations with the ability to effectively manage IT-related risks and realize the benefits of IT investments. The seven principles are: 1. Meeting Stakeholder Needs: IT should be managed to meet the needs of stakeholders, including customers, regulators, shareholders, and other stakeholders. 2. Covering the Enterprise End-to-End: IT should be managed holistically across the entire enterprise, from strategy to operations. 3. Applying a Single Integrated Framework: IT should be managed using a single integrated framework that incorporates best practices from multiple sources. 4. Enabling a Holistic Approach: IT should be managed in a holistic manner, considering the organization’s overall objectives, strategies, and risks. 5. Separating Governance from Management: IT governance should be separated from IT management, with governance focusing on setting policy and direction, and management focusing on the day-to-day operations. 6. Optimizing Risk vs. Return: IT investments should be managed to optimize the return on investment while managing IT-related risks. 7. Applying the Right Controls: IT should be managed using the appropriate controls to ensure that the organization’s objectives are met., topic=null, hs_path=cobit-framework-principles}--
{tableName=glossary, name=ISO/IEC 27001 Certification Requirements, description= ISO/IEC 27001 Certification Requirements are a set of international standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to help organizations protect their information assets. The standards provide a framework to ensure that organizations have appropriate controls, processes, and procedures in place to protect their information assets. The standards are divided into two parts: the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, which outlines the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS), and the ISO/IEC 27002 standard, which provides detailed guidance on how to implement the requirements. The ISO/IEC 27001 standard requires organizations to have a documented ISMS that covers all aspects of their information security, including risk assessments, policies and procedures, and organizational structures. The standard also requires organizations to have a documented process for regularly monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of their ISMS. Organizations must also have procedures in place to respond to security incidents, as well as to ensure that their ISMS is continuously improved. Finally, organizations must demonstrate that their ISMS meets the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard through independent third-party certification., topic=[{id=97620570500, createdAt=1673040885276, updatedAt=1716010651854, path='iso-27001', name=' ISO 27001 Guide: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=ISO 27001}', 2='{type=string, value=This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the ISO 27001 standard, including the requirements, implementation, and certification.
