What is Information Security Management?

Information security management is the process of ensuring an organization’s information assets are accounted for, classified, and maintained. It is an important element of information security. It helps us understand how sensitive data is, who should access it and what level of protection we need to give it.

The CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) is a widely used information security model that can guide an organization’s efforts and policies aimed at keeping its data secure. The initials stand for these principles:

  • Confidentiality: Only authorized users and processes should be able to access or modify data
  • Integrity: Data should be maintained in a correct state, and nobody should be able to improperly modify it, either accidentally or maliciously
  • Availability: Authorized users should be able to access data whenever they need to do so
