NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Information Security Forum (ISF) today announces the global launch of ISF Aligned Tools Suite 2020, bringing together fourteen ISF tools and cross reference aids, including a rebuilt Benchmark platform and the new IRAM2 WebApp. Aligned to the latest version of the Standard of Good Practice for Information Security 2020 (SOGP 2020), the suite – which also includes Security Healthcheck, Supply Chain accelerator tools and SOGP 2020 cross-references – helps ISF Members demonstrate compliance with international standards and assure security across their external suppliers.
“Cybercrime flourishes in an economic downturn, and as more organizations adopt digitalization and move operations online, their need to protect data and critical assets increases,” said Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF. “We live in an uncertain world where budgets and resources are tight, yet the need to manage information risk and establish resilience has never been more important. The ISF Aligned Tools Suite 2020 has been designed to help organizations of all sizes be agile and confident when making decisions on meeting the challenges of this new world.”
The launch of Aligned Tools Suite 2020 will help organizations defend against the key cyber challenges they are facing today. Building on more than thirty years of information security knowledge and collaboration, supporting ISF Members with their assessment, compliance, and assurance needs, ISF Aligned Tools Suite 2020 helps businesses answer questions such as:
How do you prioritize when resources are under pressure?
How do you determine a manageable level of information risk?
How do you assure your supply chain?
How do you manage compliance across multiple standards?
Available exclusively to ISF Members – Aligned Tools Suite 2020 helps organizations save time, prioritize investment, and make smarter decisions. ISF Aligned Tools Suite 2020 can be used individually, or together as a suite, to complement an organization’s existing approach. The tools offer ISF members a pragmatic approach to addressing a wide range of challenges – whether they be strategic, compliance-driven or process approaches. ISF consultancy services are available to assist in the implementation of the Aligned Tools Suite 2020.
