JP Morgan Chase last week reported a cyber attack that resulted in one of the biggest data breaches ever, affecting the millions of households and businesses.

BOISE, IDAHO, USA, October 7, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- JP Morgan Chase, one of the largest banks in the US, last week reported a cyber attack that resulted in one of the biggest data breaches ever, affecting the accounts of some 76 million households and seven million small businesses. IT Governance Ltd, the global provider of cyber security expertise, says US organizations should implement the international standard for best-practice information security management, ISO27001, to avoid a similar fate.

Alan Calder, Founder and Executive Chairman of IT Governance, commented on the recent data breach: “Attacks like the one on JP Morgan Chase – and others like it that have recently hit Home Depot and Target – are becoming the norm, and every sensible organization should be prepared for a similar assault. Good preparation involves the implementation of a robust information security management system (ISMS), the requirements of which are set out in ISO27001.”

An ISO27001-compliant ISMS provides a holistic approach to information security management that addresses the whole organization, and encompasses people, process and technology. Accredited certification to the Standard offers globally acknowledged proof that information security best practice has been adopted. As customers increasingly expect businesses to be able to prove their information security credentials, it comes as no surprise that certification to ISO27001 rose 36% in the US last year.

IT Governance understands that implementing the Standard can be a daunting drain on time and resources, but their ISO27001 Do It Yourself package makes it easy for enterprises that already have substantial management system expertise (with, for example, ISO9001 or ISO20000), the available internal resources, and an understanding of information security management to implement an ISMS.

Containing the relevant official standards as well as two of IT Governance’s essential bestselling implementation guides, the ISO27001 Do It Yourself package offers a low-cost route to ISO27001 implementation with no hidden expenses or unpleasant surprises.
