ISMS is a system designed to establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and improve information security. It is an organizational approach to information security. ISMS is a documented system certifying that:
- Information assets are described and secured
- Information security risks are managed and mitigated,
- Security policies together with their ownerships and guarantees are in place,
- Adherence to security measures is inspected periodically.
ISMS can be implemented as a specific information system that deals with a particular business area, or it can be implemented as an all-encompassing system involving the whole organization.

Confidentiality: Confidentiality means that information is accessible to those authorized to access it only
Integrity: Integrity means that information is accurate and complete and that information is not modified without authorization.
