The Information Security Officer (ISO) is the central link for information security in a company. This role is crucial as it encompasses a wide range of tasks that are essential for maintaining and improving IT security.
An ISB is responsible for creating security policies that form the backbone of information security. These guidelines define how information is to be protected and what procedures are to be followed in the event of a security incident.
Audits and risk analyses are further central tasks of an ISB. These ensure that the company meets security requirements and that potential risks are identified and mitigated at an early stage.
Dealing with security incidents is also an important part of an IPM's work. In the event of an incident, the IPM must act quickly to limit the damage and analyze the causes to prevent future incidents.
Employee training is important to raise awareness of information security and ensure that all employees know how to handle and protect information securely.
Finally, the ISB is responsible for setting up and operating an information security management system (ISMS). This system is at the heart of information security and enables the company to systematically manage and continuously improve security processes.
Collaboration with the management, IT manager and data protection officer is essential for an ISB to develop and implement a holistic security strategy.
In short, an ISB is essential for any company that values the security of its information.
Hiring an external ISB offers numerous advantages, especially for small and medium-sized companies. An internal employee who takes on the tasks of an ISB alongside their main job can quickly reach their limits. The amount of work involved in operating an ISMS is often extensive and requires specialized knowledge and continuous attention.
An external ISB not only brings the necessary expertise and experience, but also ensures an objective perspective. Conflicts of interest that could arise if, for example, an IT manager or managing director were to take on this role are thus avoided. An external ISB can act impartially and make the best decisions in terms of information security.
In addition, hiring an external ISB is often a cost-effective alternative. You save resources that would otherwise have to be spent on training and providing an internal employee. With an external ISB, you can rest assured that your ISMS will be professionally managed without having to hire a full-time employee.
