Strengthening IT Governance and Information Security through a Risk-Based ISO/IEC 27001 Readiness Assessment
Business challenge
As the electrical and consumer-durables manufacturer continued to expand its manufacturing, distribution, and business operations, it required a structured assessment of whether its IT governance and information-security practices were adequately aligned with business requirements, internal controls, and ISO 27001. The engagement aimed to identify control gaps, understand associated risks, and establish priorities for systematically strengthening the organisation’s IT environment.
What we did
Reviewed the existing IT governance structure, including roles, responsibilities, accountability, and oversight mechanisms.
Assessed the adequacy of IT and information-security policies, procedures, control documentation, and operational practices.
Evaluated access management, incident management, data backup, disaster recovery, and business-continuity-related controls.
Reviewed information-security risks arising from technology vendors, service providers, and other third-party relationships.
Classified identified control gaps based on risk impact and priority and developed structured inputs for management review and time-bound remediation planning.
