In today’s increasingly digital business environment, protecting sensitive information is essential for the survival, reputation, and growth of small enterprises. Rising cyber threats, data breaches, and privacy regulations mean that businesses can no longer afford to treat information security as an afterthought.
ISO 27001:2022 for Small Enterprises: A Practical Guide to Information Security Management – Part 2 provides a practical, step-by-step approach to implementing an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS) specifically for small businesses.
Written for entrepreneurs, managers, and professionals who may have limited technical expertise or resources, this book transforms complex ISO 27001:2022 concepts into practical and scalable actions. Readers learn how to assess security risks, integrate information security into daily operations, select appropriate security controls, manage limited resources, protect sensitive data, and work toward ISO 27001 certification.
The book also addresses risk treatment, cost-effective cybersecurity, policy development, encryption, secure access, internal capability building, and establishing an ISMS that can grow alongside the business.
