Challenges in implementing effective data security practiceswacasr
This document discusses the challenges organizations face in implementing effective data security practices. It covers four main challenges: data security analysis and assessment to determine what needs protecting and how; data security management to address threats and those involved; establishing data security policies around allowable and prohibited acts; and monitoring practices to ensure policies are properly implemented and effective. Previous studies emphasize the importance of data security for business operations. Effective analysis involves identifying assets, risks, and potential threats from various perspectives. Management requires involvement from all organizational levels and awareness of security risks. Well-defined policies and procedures clearly communicated help ensure proper implementation. Ongoing monitoring is also needed to update practices based on changes.
Attacks on the enterprise are getting increasingly sophisticated. Current solutions available do not seem to be adequate given the innovativeness, precision and persistence of these attacks in different forms and of different dimensions. Organisations thus want to increase the sophistication of their employees and also of the solutions to be deployed given this backdrop.
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS’ NEED TO ADDRESS SECURITY FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT C...IJNSA Journal
The need for information security within small to mid-size companies is increasing. The risks of information security breach, data loss, and disaster are growing. The impact of IT outages and issues on the company are unacceptable to any size business and their clients. There are many ways to address the security for IT departments. The need to address risks of attacks as well as disasters is important to the IT security policies and procedures. The IT departments of small to medium companies have to address these security concerns within their budgets and other limited resources.Security planning, design, and employee training that is needed requires input and agreement from all levels of the company and management. This paper will discuss security needs and methods to implement them into a corporate infrastructure.
This document discusses how to successfully implement an IT security policy. It begins by defining what an IT security policy is - a written, ever-changing document that explains how an organization will protect its IT assets. It then outlines the importance of such policies for protecting data and controlling access. The document also discusses challenges across the seven domains of IT (user, workstation, LAN, etc.) and how policies can address each domain. It notes some potential barriers to implementation like human factors but emphasizes that successful policies are created, assigned responsibilities, ensure compliance, and are continually maintained. The overall goal is for policies to safeguard organizational data and resources from both internal and external threats.

CompTIA CySA Domain 5 Compliance and Assessment.pptxInfosectrain3
The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) certification is the industry standard for demonstrating that cybersecurity professionals can analyze data and interpret the results to detect vulnerabilities, threats, and risks to an organization.
This document discusses best practices for cybersecurity policy and governance in government organizations. It emphasizes the importance of aligning security policies with business objectives to enable operations rather than hinder them. Effective risk management requires identifying critical assets, analyzing threats and vulnerabilities, and understanding breach implications. It also stresses the need for strong executive support of security policies and constant policy refreshment as technologies change.
A cyber security audit evaluates an organization's cyber security policies, procedures, and controls to identify vulnerabilities. It assesses whether preventative tools like firewalls and antivirus software are in place and properly maintained, and whether users receive security awareness training. A cyber security audit follows standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and examines threats from both internal and external factors. The audit process involves management, which owns risk decisions; risk management professionals, who assess risks and solutions; and internal auditors, who provide an independent evaluation of controls.

The document discusses the need for continuous security monitoring in modern IT environments. It argues that traditional, periodic security assessments are no longer sufficient given how quickly technology and threats are evolving. Continuous security monitoring allows organizations to adapt security as quickly as their infrastructure and applications change. The document recommends starting with established frameworks like NIST SP 800-137 or the SANS 20 critical security controls and implementing tools and processes for asset management, configuration management, vulnerability management, access control, and incident response. This represents a shift from compliance-driven security to an automated, ongoing approach.
The document discusses various topics related to role management in IT security, including:
- IT security roles such as the chief security officer, security engineer, and information security analyst.
- Where the IT security department should be located within an organization, including options of being within the IT department, outside of IT, or a hybrid solution.
- The importance of top management support for IT security, as well as developing relationships with other departments such as HR, legal, and audit.

3. Information Security Management System
1 Introduction
The risk and the volatility of business in local and international environments have made the
information systems evolve rapidly in business incorporate aspect. The method which need to
make assigned resources to make the proper budget to implementation the system in the
organization. Because of the objectives which are used on measuring the security process, make
the risk to minimize which would eventually determine the effectiveness of implementation and
control. The security controls which are used to justify the budget and recover the existing
controls of the cost. This report discusses on the principles of analysis on Information Security
Management System, illustrates and defines the scope of measurement of the information in
company process.
2 Information System
Every organization is highly dependent on its information system. This involves data processing
and reproducing of the information. Management of Information System brings has become one
of the key areas that effect to growth of the existing business.
IS integrated users system to providing information to make use support operations, the
decision making business function in the company? The hardware and software manual
requirements of the system specification manuals, analysis the model diagrams, planning the
system controls, and database management systems. ( David & Olson 2000).
Information System offer the business to depend to take care the quality, maintainable and secure
the system. The operation make easier the out
sider to make the impact the company
policies. This make directly spoil the brand
name and the entire business. Therefore
information security composes a major factor
of information system.
Figure 2.1 Information system

4. Information Security Management System
3 Information Security
Information Security is the practice of defending the unauthorized access of the computer stored
data which has been increased on the recent past and has correspondingly effected information to
be used incorporated with security technology, products, policies and procedures. The collection
of the products make more solve the security issues which confronted in the company. The
technology and reliance on the industry best practices is mandatory in both ways to achieve
success on task. The physical products like firewalls, vulnerability scanners and detection system
controls are not sufficient enough to protect the company system boundaries.
As a result information security makes the process of keeping information secure in
Confidentially, Integrity and Availability (CIA) to benchmark the evaluation system secure. The
CIA principles make guarantees system or device to be protected and also relate to cross the
security analysis to data encryption from cyber space.
3.1 Confidential ity
Confidentiality is hide information from unauthorized people or users. Unauthorized parties
cannot view data or information without permission from relevant administrator. The CIA aspect
covered when come to security. The encryption and cryptography technologies use to secure
information from intruders. The data is transferred from one location to another location using
encrypted USB drivers to move data. This enables high level of security to protect data.
3.2 Integrity
Integrity ensures that data in accuracy not damage in its the original format. This includes the
source of origin integrity of the data, which data become the person’s actual information or
entity. The information reproduced under the same structure
generates duplicate data in reliability. However integrity of
information includes these systems to preserve short of corruption
or destroy entire system.

O.M. Hiran Kanishka Chandrasena Page 4 of 16
5. Information Security Management System
3.3 Availability
The availably refers the predictably of information and resources. The information not available
when at need is the Information none at all. This depends on how applicable the organization
functions of the computer systems and also the infrastructure of the company policies. The
modern functions of business are totally dependent of the information system functionality. It
could not operate without the specific protocols. Availably like supplementary aspects security
procedures can mainly affect the technical issues which organizations face on this manner. E.g.
multifunction fragments of the computer communication methods and hardware and software
requirements. Increasing use of external services to provide, the new technologies to companies
and getting expose security breach as threats
4 Information Security Management System (ISMS)
4.1 What is ISMS?
The Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a systematic based structural approach
which manages to ensure information that exists to be secure. ISMS implication system includes
process, policies, procedures, software and hardware functions and organization structures. This
primarily forces company objectives and security risk requirements, based on employee process
structure.
4.1.1 Policy Statements
The information security management system policies frame work define the guidelines
principles and produces on how accountable and how to safeguard the information system.
This includes the policy, supporting contracts policy, code of ethics and best practices
This mainly defines confidentiality, integrity and availability of the secure documentation
and that generated behalf of third party agreements on supporting ISO27001 certification in
the ISMS information technology requirements.
O.M. Hiran Kanishka Chandrasena Page 5 of 16
6. Information Security Management System
To meet requirements of the ISO 27001 credentials generates agreements, contracts and
procedures to establish the Information Security Management System. ISMS has systematic
reviews progress risk management framework.
The acknowledgement of the principles
consistent with vision and mission of the
organization goals, the business plan and
strategic plans and contractual
requirements. The comments will be
added to the business plan in risk
management.
Figure 4.1.1 Information Security Benchmark
4.2 Why we need ISMS?
Information system provides the base for an organization to understand the structure and network
architecture on to exposure with security vulnerabilities such as physical, logical and
environmental security threats which comes from wide range. The increasing number of security
vulnerabilities on the company boundaries has made to breach the organization policies and
resources.
“Achieving Information Security make encounters to the organization that cannot stand
Achieve over Technology Alone”. The risk approach generates
business strategy for the business operations.
Thus the information security management is the methodology
to defend information from intruders. ISO/IEC 27001:2005
International Standard use ISMS need to protect the
information systematically.

4.3 ISO/IEC 27001:2005 International Standard Implementation
ISO/IEC 27001 is one major requirement in Information Security Management System. There it
specifies implementation, monitoring, establishing, reviewing and operation are main forces in
the organization overall business process. In the ISMS it based on the following aspects Plan-
DO-Check-Act model process cycle.
Figure 4.2 ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Cycle
The objective of the each step are as following;
Plan: information security policies and risk management objectives establish to recover
in level of the risk experience.
Do: the security control implement in ISMS agreement with firm information policy and
measure security objectives.
Check: The measure of the process and evaluate process perform to control compared to
the rules and regulation guidelines.
Act : The preventive action based on the outcomes and that verifies with the
implementation expand with ISMS
O.M. Hiran Kanishka Chandrasena Page 7 of 16
8. Information Security Management System
The process of the company implement security control policies and required measurements for
the risk base to acceptable levels in the organization. The company management does not have
proper knowledge on how to implement rules and procedures relate to performance to their
business information security controls. Information security program identify the risk process of
the business and measures to develop effectiveness control according to ISO 27001international
standard.
In ISO 27001 standards in ISMS code of practice, catalogue provides control that make
implementation ISMS. The control mainly divided in to 3 categories they are, 11 Security
Domain, 39 Control Objectives and 133 Controls areas in ISO 27001.

5 Risk Assessing Information Security
Information security Risk Management System (RMS) was integrated in U.S government in
1999. This RMS provides risk management cycle with following charters;
Figure 5.1 Risk Management System Cycle
Risk Assessment: The concept of the decision making information need to understand the
factors which affect the operation of the input and output of the company processes. This
includes identification of threats on the estimated chance of the occurrence. The base of the
past data which identifies the value of the concept of the assets that may be occur potential
victims, identify the cost enrolments to take action for risk results and proper implementation
results controls. (U.S. Government Accountable office 1999)
Implementation policies controls: Each identified risk assessments that made classified
information process as high impact of the company processes. The company should make
relevant policies to implement and control to moderate the risk levels to be acceptable. (U.S.
Government Accountable office 1999)
O.M. Hiran Kanishka Chandrasena Page 12 of 16
13. Information Security Management System
Monitor & evaluate: The organization specially handle the critical risk factors to evaluate
the potential levels of experience. The elements to determine the controls of the factors its
behavior over the time. However the assessing can be difficult to implements the data for
influence the risk and root course continually change. (U.S. Government Accountable office
1999)
Promote awareness: Can minimize the weakness if the users have the know-how. The user
meeting, workshops and introductions to acknowledged them. There can reduce the impact of
the damage policy of the risk management in the organization. (U.S. Government
Accountable office 1999)
Above steps explained the budget constraint in the information security; how to add value of the
organization and measure the productivity of security controls required to reduce the risk
reduction. The fundamental exercise used to access the risk and that can quantity efficient has a
number of cost in the organization.
6 Measurement Control Cost
When implementation the series of cost when required to investment in the technology
processes. There several segments has to cover the barriers to achieve the goals, the process are:
Figure 6.1 Security Measurement Control Cost
O.M. Hiran Kanishka Chandrasena Page 13 of 16
14. Information Security Management System
Technology investment: Minimize the risk technology section and the device infrastructure
of the firewall, alarm system recognition, anti-malwares protections and thus generate the
large number of data which need to process the devices on unsuccessfully or unsuccessfully
explicit controls. (U.S. Government Accountable office 2005 edited)
Speculation of the people: When the people work with the ISMS implementation they must
aware their job roll in management’s information security. Users can have access to deployed
information for time implementation process with minimize the threats recognitions. This
motivate the people conducting the workshops, training programs give understand how to
control the security performance in the organization. (U.S. Government Accountable office
2005 edited)
Processes: Information security describes the changes of the work floor and implements the
security controls visibly protected in order to produce information. The performance based
on information security policies that describes the areas of the building process in terms of
the information security policies in the organization boundaries. (U.S. Government
Accountable office 2005 edited)

15. Information Security Management System
7 Conclusion & Recommendation
ISO 27001 standard was accepted to the organizations to reduce the security risks that may affect
the company information assets system. The external and internal restrictions which could be
encountered include the budget, operational functional specifications and procedures. When the
security controls allow implements the system there also the cost operative will not challenge the
financial business segments. As a results of the risk analysis and identification of the controls
which used to implement in the scope of the boundaries.
The environment of the measurement of the employee to try to measure the effectiveness control.
The key words of the security matrix define the accurate definition of the domain controls which
are used to explore security risk of the company. The measurement permits the identification of
the current status of the organization that should be clearly express the security risk policies.
Determine the trends which make essential to make time intervals of the record of the
information.
