An Information Security Management System is an organization's structure for managing its people, processes and technology. It is the umbrella under which the activities of a business or business unit are defined, organized, managed and monitored.

The two ISO/IEC standards involved in developing an Information Security Management System are ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security – Information Security Management System – Requirements and ISO/IEC 27002 (formerly ISO/IEC 17799) – Specification for Information Security Management.

An Information Security Management System provides a wide variety of benefits, including:

• A vehicle for the identification, classification, and protection of information in any form
• Forming the system by which multiple legal, regulatory, and business requirements can be identified, analyzed, addressed, managed, and monitored
• Bridging the gap between information security and the business
• Enabling business-friendly, risk-based management and information security
• Showing proof of activities, due care, and due diligence
• Accelerating information security program maturity, proactive management, and the ability to change rapidly
• Assists in the definition of strategies, activities, management, standards, guidance, roles and responsibilities
• Providing competitive advantage, while denying it to your competitors
• Forming the foundation and mechanism for informed decision making
• Enhancing corporate governance and compliance-related activities
