The Security of Network & Information Systems Regulations (“NIS Regulations“) place legal obligations on providers to protect UK critical services by improving cyber-security.
The regulations aim to ensure UK operators in electricity, transport, water, energy, transport, health and digital infrastructure are prepared to deal with the increasing numbers of cyber threats. The regulations also cover other threats affecting IT, such as power failures, hardware failures and environmental hazards.
They came into force on 10th May 2018 and affect all Operators of Essential Services (OES) and Digital Service Providers (DSP).
The National Cyber Security Centre distilled the security principles that are required to implement NIS Regulations into 4 top-level objectives which include security management, system security, security monitoring, and response and improvements.
And because ISO 27001 covers those requirements, you can future-proof your business by taking the remaining steps to an ISO 27001 certification that will offer real assurances to your powerful customers and stakeholders.
Linking the NIS Regulations and ISO 27001 is simple in ISMS.online and will prevent duplication of the many requirements that appear in both. You will also minimise the ongoing management of your Information Security Management System.
Did you know that if your organisation implemented an ISO 27001:2013 information security Management system you would have covered the requirements of the NIS Regulations whilst also protecting all your valuable information assets.
I certainly would recommend ISMS.online, it makes setting up and managing your ISMS as easy as it can get.
