Critical Success Factors For ISMS
To be effective, the ISMS must:

- be an integral part of the overall management of the organization related to and reflecting the organization’s approach to risk management, the control objectives and controls and the degree of assurance required;
- have security objectives and activities be based on business objectives and requirements and led by business management;
- undertake only necessary tasks and avoiding over-control and waste of valuable resources;
- fully comply with the organization philosophy and mindset by providing a system that instead of preventing people from doing what they are employed to do, it will enable them to do it in control and demonstrate their fulfilled accountabilities;
- be based on continuous training and awareness of staff and avoid the use of disciplinary measures and “police” or “military” practices;
- be a never ending process;

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
