Management System
A structured set of policies, processes, and controls an organisation uses to direct and improve a specific discipline, such as information security or business continuity.
Put the term into practice: Risk management software
A management system is the framework of policies, objectives, processes, roles, and records that an organisation uses to consistently achieve a stated outcome. ISO management system standards share a common structure, known as the Harmonized Structure, which makes it possible to run several systems together rather than as silos.
KaitoSec treats a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), Information Security Management System (ISMS), Data Protection Management System (DSMS), and AI Management System (AIMS) as one connected system. Shared assets, risks, controls, and evidence are maintained once and reused across every framework.
