P229 – PROGRAMME ON INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT

(COMPANY SPECIFIC PROGRAMME FOR L.I.C. OF INDIA)

 

 

Background:

 

The growth and success of nearly all enterprises rely on harnessing Information Technology for secure, profitable use. As organizations continue to take advantage of the opportunities available through global networking, and need to comply with the existing or new security laws and regulations, difficult decisions arise about how much money to  invest in IT security and control. Enterprises must consider the best ways to offer flexibility to customers and trading partners, yet ensure security of critical information and systems for all its users.

 

Enterprise needs to formulate and establish policies and directives in order to protect the investment, safeguard the information contained within these systems, reduce business and legal risks and the most important to protect the good name of the company.  The policies also need to define the Do’s and Don’ts identifying and fixing the responsibilities. This would require a set of policies on Information Security, Cyber ethics, email usage and privacy of business data in these systems. Enterprise needs to translate these information security policies into well-defined procedures that will be implemented at the operating level. An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a controlled approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It encompasses people, processes and IT systems.
