Information security - an important aspect of social media

/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the world's one-stop shop for information security books, toolkits, training and consultancy, is advising organisations which use social media to implement appropriate frameworks in order to reduce information security risk whilst gaining full advantage of the social media tools. The company is running a special August offer of their Social Media Governance Toolkit which can be ordered here www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2974.

Many organisations see social media as a critical part of their relations with customers, partners and stakeholders. However, using social media also increases the challenges for organisations to protect their valuable information. Dealing effectively with social media requires a joined-up approach that is aligned with the objectives and risk appetite of the business - a governance approach. Ensuring staff understand and adhere to relevant social media policy and procedure is a key aspect of the successful and secure use of social media channels.

The Social Media Governance Toolkit from IT Governance (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2974) contains a comprehensive suite of documents and templates that will help organisations develop, implement, monitor and improve social media activities across the office or various departments. The toolkit contains documents for creating a social media governance framework as well as providing operational guidelines that set out best practice for social media activity. The toolkit will help organisations embed crucial controls around social media, including an acceptable use agreement, template for legal guidance, branding and corporate style guide.

The Social Media Governance Toolkit (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2974) also links to the best practice information security controls contained in ISO/IEC 27001and can be integrated with the Standalone ISO 27001 ISMS Toolkit (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1).
