Cybercom first with interactive solution for SIS IT security standards

Cybercom first with interactive solution for SIS IT security standards 

Interest in ISO certification for information security is increasing. SIS
standards form the basis for information security management in the private and
public sector. Cybercom is the first company to offer companies and authorities
SIS IT security standards via an interactive portal. 

"This is a great business opportunity for us. SIS IT security standards are
increasingly important in the public sector, and the number of projects in this
area is increasing,” says Tomas Rimming, business area manager for Secure at
Cybercom Sweden East. “Also, our solution facilitates security work for banks
and other companies.”    

The Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) develops globally recognised standards for
information security management that include the SS-ISO/IEC 27001:2006,
SS-ISO/IEC 27002:2005 and SS-ISO/IEC 27005:2008 standards. SIS provided Cybercom
with an opportunity to offer integrated operational support for companies and
authorities via interactive access to standard requirements through its Cybercom
Compliance Portal. The Cybercom Compliance Portal can for instance distribute
security requirements inside a business and consolidate operational feedback -
per requirement - about how operations meet each requirement. The portal also
integrates support for risk analyses, action analyses, and provides a starting
point for incident management and other common security-related processes. 

"These standards are often found on paper or PDF, but there hasn't been an
integrated operational system for really implementing them in an operation,"
says Bengt Berg, manager of Compliance Management Services at Cybercom Sweden
East. “Our portal makes this possible, and improves security efforts. Businesses
also gain access to rational methods for status reporting and risk analysis, and
can easily evaluate optimal security-tightening measures. The solution also
works for other management systems such as environmental, quality, and
regulatory requirements.” 

“We're really excited to see the IT security standards ISO 27000 series
integrated in an online tool that facilitates two-way security management
communication,” says Helen Strandgren at SIS Förlag. “We're hoping to reach new
markets by delivering standards this way.”
