- 5. 5 The main obstacles 1. Lack of top management support 2. Insufficient budget and resources / no allocated resources 3. Resistance to change (e.g., sophisticated alignment, extensive document approval, complicated procurement process) 4. Inadequate understanding of ISMS concepts (e.g., focus on Annex A, not on the main text) 5. Lack of skilled professionals 6. Unclear roles and responsibilities 7. Ineffective communication with the interested parties 8. Choosing a Risk Assessment methodology that is too complicated 9. No processes / low maturity level of processes / too complex processes, especially: • Internal audit • Nonconformity management • ISMS Evaluation (metrics and KPIs) • Asset management • Incident management • Change management • Business continuity management 10. Desire to radically increase the maturity of the processes (+ 2-3 levels) 11. Implementing new automation tools (e.g., GRC, SIEM, UEBA, SOAR) before building the processes 12. Lack of information security culture / Lack of awareness
- 6. 6 Recommendations for the implementation team 1. Educate the implementation team in advance 2. Protect the implementation team from other projects and tasks (prioritisation) 3. Increase the motivation of the implementation team (e.g., additional bonuses, flexible hours, training courses) 4. Hire a few interns 5. Involve external consultants and/or mentors
- 7. 7 Recommendations for the project management 1. Set clear and realistic project goals 2. The project charter is important, but don't make it too complicated 3. Reduce the ISMS scope for the certification 4. Improve communication between the implementation team members (e.g., use a Kanban board, create a channel on Slack/MS Teams) 5. Don't spend much time on detailed planning. Use the sprints (1-2 weeks) 6. Schedule parallel tasks (e.g., Risk Assessment and Documents preparation) 7. Prepare and strictly follow a Communication Plan
- 8. 8 Recommendations for the core processes 1. Launch awareness training ASAP. Start from the top management 2. Launch the ISMS Committee / IS Steering Committee ASAP. Hold meetings once or twice a month at first, then once a quarter. 3. Use simple templates for ISMS documents, and easy approval and review procedures (e.g., during the ISMS Committee meetings) 4. Use Notion/Confluence (if allowed) 5. Create templates and registers in advance: 1. ISMS Committee presentation and MoM 2. Policy (Template) 3. Statement of Applicability (SoA) 4. Audit Plan and Report 5. Nonconformity Register and Report 6. ISMS management review report 7. Risk register 8. Incident register 6. Prepare the mandatory documents first. You don’t need the full set of topic-specific policies and procedures! 7. Simplify the core processes! You will improve them later… 8. Combine an ISMS Gap Analysis with Internal Audits 9. Don't spend much time on Risk Assessment. You will improve it later… 10. Implement only critical controls (Annex A). Just plan to implement others… 11. Continual improvement is better than the perfect system
