 Many organisations find themselves in a digital storm of relentless and continuous change, often
Introduction underpinned by technology. For this reason, information security can no longer be a once-in-a-while
project, it must be central to all projects and processes.

Many companies use ISO 27001 requirements for a systematic approach to information security
management. Based on periodic risk assessments based to ever changing scenarios, ISO 27001
requires a robust and flexible system to support it’s integration company-wide.

EQMS is used to manage ISO 27001 documentation, audits, risk and suppliers.

Oversharing information leaves the company exposed to unnecessary risk. EQMS reduces the
EQMS for number of roles with escalated privileges down to the bare minimum.
Compliance
EQMS ensures employees understand and have acknowledged the latest SOP’s. Electronic
signatures can be used in EQMS to demonstrate compliance. This mitigates the risk of a company
being liable for data breaches.

Planning an ISMS is an important requirement for ISO 27001 accreditation.

EQMS Document
Manager ISO 27001 sets out a nine stage process to planning an ISMS. This documentation needs to be
carried out at organisational level to define the scope, context and approach of the proposed
system.

EQMS enables documentation such as the

ISMS policy, approach to risk assessment
and Statement of Applicability to be shared
with relevant members of the team. EQMS
ensures only the most recent version of the
documents will be seen by navigators.

EQMS Document Manager will enable you

to reduce the number of roles with
escalated privileges down to the bare
minimum.

Electronic signatures are used to ensure

staff have understood and acknowledged
the most recent SOP’s. Any data breaches
can then be made liable to the individual,
rather than the organisation.
