Hey B, have you heard about ISO 27001 Security Controls Implementation?

Yeah, I've heard of it. It's a standard for information security, right?

Yeah, that's right. I'm trying to implement it in our company, but I'm having a hard time with the security controls.

What's the problem?

I'm having trouble understanding which controls are mandatory and which ones are recommended.

I feel you. I was in the same boat when I tried to implement it in my last company.

So, how did you figure it out?

I just used common sense. If the control makes sense for our company and helps us protect our information, then we implement it.

That's a good point. I'm just worried about compliance, you know?

Yeah, but as long as you have a good reason for not implementing a certain control, you should be fine.

That's true. Do you have any tips for implementing the controls?

Yeah, start with the high-priority ones and work your way down. It's easier to tackle the big ones first and then move on to the less critical ones.

That makes sense. Are there any controls you recommend we implement first?

I would start with access control and then move on to communication security. Those are both critical controls.

Okay, thanks for the advice. Do you know of any good resources for learning about ISO 27001?

Yeah, there are some great online courses and books out there. I can send you some links if you want.

That would be awesome. Thanks, B.

No problem, A. Always happy to help a fellow security geek out.
