The ISG-ISP team will create and update information security policies and standards on a regular basis to ensure compliance with current laws, regulations, and industry standards. Moreover, the ISG-ISP team will collaborate with the Client organization’s ISG-ISP Program Manager to spread awareness and understanding of these policies and standards across the entire organization.

The controls selected for the baseline will be carefully chosen by the ISG-ISP team to ensure security and regulatory risks to your organization are mitigated. Control owners will be assigned from within Client organization for ongoing managment oversight.
Security Exception Management
The Security Exception Management process is a well-defined approach to handle security exceptions. It ensures that security exceptions are thoroughly documented, reviewed, and approved by the relevant stakeholders. To facilitate this process, the ISG-ISP team has implemented a digital exception request process with a moderated workflow. The Managed Client workforce will utilize this process to request security exceptions. All data collected during the request process is stored in the Security Exception DB, and the Exception will be managed until it is resolved.
Senior Leadership & Board Communication
Using a structured approach and consistent cadence, the ISG-ISP team conveys critical security information, including risks, strategies, and policy updates, in a manner that is both comprehensible and relevant to high-level decision-making for continuous security risk management, including long-term planning, organizational alignment, and integration with overall business goals and objectives.
