This document discusses planning and implementing the ISO 27001 information security standard. It provides guidance on costs, project length, and implementation steps. Key points include:
- Implementation can take 4-9 months depending on factors like organization size and existing security practices. It follows the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle.
- Costs include internal resources, external consultants, certification fees, and addressing security gaps. Existing frameworks can reduce costs by providing existing security policies and controls.
- Implementation involves defining the scope, assessing risks, managing risks, selecting controls, and preparing for audits to achieve certification. Careful planning is needed to manage costs and implementation.
