Integrity in the “CIA” triad: Truth Enforcer and the ISO 27001 standard
Organizations that want to be compliant with ISO 27001 have to comply with a complex web of requirements, as well as having to continuously evaluate risks, implement effective controls, and showcase constant improvement.
Connecting Software’s Truth Enforcer allows you to do just that, significantly reducing the risks and costs associated with data integrity and auditability issues. It’s a product designed to guarantee your documents authenticity and protect yourself against tampering. Imagine the peace of mind and operational efficiency gained from knowing your critical documents are always authentic and trustworthy.
Across this article you will get to see the different aspects of ISO 27001, what role the "CIA" Triad has, and how Connecting Software can help you maintain a more compliant environment.
“CIA” Triad and ISO 27001
The principles reinforced by the "CIA" Triad are designed to protect against the major and near-constant cybersecurity threats that exist. The basic principle is this – data that is well managed is far less susceptible to attack.
Without a culture of making sure data is authenticated and accessible to key security decision makers, incidents like data breaches, data exfiltration and leaks are much more likely.
The “CIA” triad is made up of these three core principles:
Confidentiality: The protection of information from unauthorized access.
Secure permissions should be set so only appropriate and authorized users can see or change sensitive information.
Integrity: The veracity of information, making sure it is accurate and trustworthy.
Data you do have should be checked to make sure it is accurate. Measures should be in place to make sure it is not changed or manipulated.
Availability: Information and the supporting systems being accessible and usable according to demand.
Critical information should be structured in a way that is easily accessible by key decision makers. Having accurate data allows businesses to make better decisions – especially when it comes to security.
Truth Enforcer supporting ISO 27001 Risk Management
Maintaining “CIA” principles can be difficult for any organization – but Connecting Software’s Truth Enforcer can be a massive time saver.
Truth Enforcer can bridge the gaps of verification and provide proof of authenticity.
-
Verify document authenticity: Easily check the authenticity of a document’s content state.
-
Prove document integrity: Ensure a tamper-resistant record of the document’s content state and accessibility to validate it.
-
Keep a secure audit trail: The immutable ledger can be seen as the holder of your document’s lifecycle in terms of modifications.
This helps businesses maintain document and file integrity across their business – all the while keeping documents both confidential and available.
Truth Enforcer can help your business in the following ways:
Regulatory compliance: Inserting an authenticity verification solution in your environment will maintain compliance with a secure method that does not access the document’s content.
Efficiency and auditability: Eliminate manual verification processes in your workflow and make audits more efficient. Regular internal audits and external regulators can face your environment without bottlenecks and disruptions, which saves time and resources.
Customer trust: With customers concerned about security, you can become the secure provider that they turn to. Achieving compliance and making authenticity verifiable for them will result in higher retention due to trust.
Market differentiation: Being able to certify your own documentation without bias and making that available to external stakeholders will completely change your position in the market, especially in sectors like technology, finance, and healthcare.
We can’t wait to help you make this possible. With that, we look forward to connecting software with you!
