IntroductionIT Governance is proud to release theresults of its second annual surveycentred around the implementationchallenges, benefits and experiences ofISO 27001 implementers globally.We believe the results of this surveyprovide useful insights for leadimplementers, auditors, consultants andheads of security teams, and will justifythe continued growth and adoption ofthe Standard everywhere in the world.About IT GovernanceIT Governance is a leading global providerof IT governance, risk management andcompliance solutions, with a special focuson cyber resilience, data protection, thePCI DSS, ISO 27001 and cyber securitysolutions.We have led ISO 27001 implementationssince the inception of the Standard,helping more than 400 companiessuccessfully achieve certification to whatis often considered one of the mostchallenging management standards.More information is available atwww.itgovernance.co.uk.2ISO 27001 Global Report 2016Information security and ISO 27001ISO 27001 has become ubiquitous ininformation security circles globally. TheStandard is now rated as the preferred choicefor creating and managing a robust, dynamicand adaptable information securitymanagement system (ISMS).The recent introduction of much tougher dataprotection laws, such as the EU General DataProtection Regulation (GDPR), which will beenforced on all organisations that collect orprocess personal data of EU residents from May2018, will significantly increase thepotential costs for organisations that areunable to demonstrate compliance. TheGDPR emphasises the use of seals, marksand certification schemes to help businessesdemonstrate they’ve taken appropriate actionto implement the necessary organisational andadministrative measures to protect personaldata from breaches of confidentiality, integrityor availability.ISO 27001, through its comprehensiveapproach to information security, presentsrational and effective means of achievingdemonstrable compliance with the infromationsecurity aspects of the GDPR.In the last ten years, the risk of cyber attackshas grown exponentially, placing cyber securityrisks as a top priority on board agendas.Although cyber security threats are increasing,companies are not seeing budgets riseaccordingly, leading to a growing shortfall ininvestment. Moreover, as the global securityskills shortage continues to escalate, smallbusinesses are left vulnerable to, and oftendefenceless against, the onslaught of newtypes of assaults such as ransomware andphishing attacks.
Protect Comply ThriveMaking ISO 27001 more accessible tosmall businesses has always been one ofIT Governance’s key objectives, throughthe development of innovative consultancyservices, online training courses, DIY resources,manuals and guides. We believe that the resultsof this survey will remove misconceptionsabout the suitability of ISO 27001 for smallcompanies.Against this backdrop, we expect the demandfor ISO 27001 to increase significantly overthe next five years, as more organisations seekproven and effective solutions for managingtheir information assets, and as a moresecurity-conscious society drives moreresponsible data security behaviour. 80% of respondents’ organisations wereeither certified to ISO 27001 (40%) or were inthe process of getting certified to ISO 27001 inthe near future (40%).Have you achieved ISO 27001certification?We are certified40%We are working towardscertification40%We are not planning tocertify our ISMS20%About the ISO 27001 Survey 53 countries participated in thesurvey, with a large portion of respondentsrepresenting the UK (41%), followed by India(10%) and the USA (7%). 29% of organisations had an annualturnover of over US 100 million ( 76 million),while 26% had a turnover of less than 5 million( 3.8 million).Alan Calder The majority of respondents were from thetechnology sector (27%), business services/consulting (14%) and financial services (13%),followed by government/local authorities(10%).

Protect Comply ThriveFinding 1 (continued)The continued escalation of cyber attacks,combined with an increasingly regulated datasecurity landscape, means many companies arecoming to realise the benefits of implementingISO 27001. It is no surprise that, in terms ofuptake, ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is now among thefastest-growing management system standardsin the world.In addition to improved information security,56% of respondents said that the main driverfor implementing ISO 27001 was to achieve acompetitive advantage. ISO 27001 certificationis growing in demand as a contractualrequirement for suppliers bidding for newbusiness and demonstrates credibility whentendering for contracts.

Finding 2Resistance from executive teams aboutinformation security is still a concernOnly 36% of respondents reported that theyhad no concerns about securing board buy-infor the ISO 27001 project, and said that theboard was supportive right from the start.A further 51% of respondents had problemsconvincing the board about the importance ofinformation security, or securing the necessarybudget and resources to implement ISO 27001.A critical ingredient for the successfulimplementation of ISO 27001 is topmanagement commitment, the absenceof which will make it nearly impossible toestablish, implement and maintain an effectiveISMS.A plausible explanation for some boardsbacking the project from the start could be thatthey were already aware of and understood thebenefits that ISO 27001 offers. It is incumbentupon the executive team to take ownership ofinformation security risks, and to be informedabout how the organisation will defend itselfagainst and respond to such risks.Based on the above, it is clear that informationsecurity teams often struggle to make aconvincing business case for an ISO 27001ISMS implementation project.A detailed ISO 27001 gap analysis is often thestarting point for a more complexISO 27001 project, and enables teams tojustify the benefits of implementing an ISMSby providing useful data for building a solidbusiness case. Such a business case shouldweigh up the benefits against the potentiallosses of confidentiality, availability andintegrity of data, in addition to the reputationaland financial damage associated with a databreach.What do you consider has been or willbe the biggest challenge to secure yourboard’s/CEO’s buy-in to implementISO 27001?We had no challenges – theboard immediately agreed36%Securing sufficient budgetallowance to implement an ISMS21%Convincing the board thatinformation security is a criticalbusiness issue20%Permission to employ sufficienthuman resources to deliver theprojectAgreeing to complete thecertification element of theprojectOther10ISO 27001 Global Report 201611%5%7%
Protect Comply ThriveFinding 3Implementers struggle with key areas of ISO27001 implementation41% of respondents cited obtaining employeebuy-in and raising staff awareness as the topchallenge when implementing ISO 27001.Poor staff awareness is a common theme ininformation security circles, and numeroussurveys continue to highlight the dangers ofpoor information security awareness amongstaff.Other notable challenges experienced byrespondents were being able to properlyinterpret the Standard’s requirements(31%), and creating and managing the ISMSdocumentation (28%). Implementing andmaintaining an ISMS requires up-to-date,accurate and compliant documentation, andrequires a lot of work to get it right.Be it accidental or malicious, the exposure ofdata because of staff negligence is responsiblefor a high rate of data loss, so it is essential fororganisations to implement effective measuresto overcome staff ignorance of security risks.Alan Calder, the founder and executivechairman of IT Governance, says: “The keytest of the ISMS documentation is that itshould be adequate, but not excessive, andthat it enables each of the processes to besystematically communicated, understood,executed and effective so as to be repeatableand dependable.”Resource shortage is another common threadthat runs across all organisations, irrespectiveof country or industry: 39% of respondentssaid they battled to obtain the right level ofcompetence and expertise to implement theproject.Competition for appropriately qualified staff isstiff, and salaries continue to rise in the battleto attract suitably skilled candidates. Thesesalaries are often beyond levels that smallerorganisations can afford.As a result, companies either choose tooutsource their ISMS implementation projectto qualified consultants, or appoint internalteams that can manage the project themselves.Whether or not these teams have the necessaryexpertise is addressed later in this report.In addition to the above, other notablechallenges include reporting on andmaintaining the ISMS (24%), and conductingthe risk assessment (22%).Without adequate reporting and monitoring,the process of continually improving the ISMSwill not be effective. Continual improvement isone of the cornerstones of ISO 27001 that setsit apart from many other information securityprogrammes.11www.itgovernance.co.uk
Finding 3 (continued)At the centre of any mature ISMS should bea comprehensive, well-planned and wellexecuted information security risk assessmentthat is designed to identify the relevant assetsor risks, and enable the business to prioritisethe different security measures and controls.Although ISO 27005 provides guidelines forconducting a risk assessment, the process is notalways clear for newcomers to the Standard,not least because the current version ofISO 27005 (2011) is still aligned to the lessflexible 2005 version of ISO 27001.What would you consider the mainchallenges when implementingISO 27001?Obtaining employee buy-in/raising staff awareness41%Ensuring we had the right levelof competence and expertise39%Understanding the requirementsof the Standard31%Creating and managing theISMS documentation28%Securing the required budget26%Reporting on and maintainingour ISMS24%Conducting the informationsecurity risk assessment22%Mobilising the ISO 27001implementation team17%Developing the scope16%Identifying the required controlsObtaining certification to theStandardOther12ISO 27001 Global Report 201614%10%5%
Protect Comply ThriveFinding 4Supply chain demands are driving certification71% of respondents received either regularor occasional requests to provide evidenceof ISO 27001 certification from clients orwhen tendering for new business. 37% ofrespondents receive regular requests.By providing a globally accepted indication ofsecurity effectiveness, ISO 27001 certificationsignificantly reduces the need for repeatedclient audits, reducing the number of externalaudit days, and presents significant savings interms of preparatory work when entering intocontracts.Have any of your customers enquiredabout your ISO 27001 status in the past12 months?Likewise, ISO 27001 flows down the supplychain: 49% of respondents say they requestedevidence of ISO 27001 certification from theirsuppliers in the last 12 months.Suppliers are often an attractive target forhackers as they can provide an easy way intolarger organisations. If suppliers are going tohave access to a company’s data, networks orsystems, it is essential that they are subjectto at least the same level of security as thecompany procuring their services.Have you asked your suppliers forISO 27001 certification in the past 12months?Yes, ISO 27001 is a regularrequirement for contracts andtendering for new business37%Yes49%Yes, occasionally34%No37%No29%Don’t know14%13www.itgovernance.co.uk
Finding 5The median length of time of an ISO 27001certification project is 6 - 12 monthsThe median response given was 6-12months, which was in common with 51% ofrespondents. This is in line with last year’sreport results of 47%.20% said it took between 3 and 6 months toachieve certification (in 2015, this figure was29%), while 20% said it took more than 12months (19% in 2015). 8.5% took more than 2years to complete their certification project (5%in 2015).The time it takes to achieve ISO 27001certification can vary depending on the size ofthe organisation, the scope of the project andthe availability of resources. Small companieswith a single office location and few staff maybe able to achieve certification in less thanthree months if they rely on external help.Larger organisations, typically with morecomplex scopes, will take longer, but this willalso depend on their internal structure, existingpractices, project plan and resource schedule.The project duration is also closely related tothe availability of a dedicated ISMS managerand the skills and experience of the personresponsible for the project.Mobilising internal experts and calling inexternal help can considerably accelerate aproject, especially if there is a tight deadline.Organisations wishing to achieve certificationto ISO 27001 ISMS within a short period oftime or agreed timeline can opt for FastTrackconsultancy services.How long did it take your organisation to achieve certification from the start of theproject?14ISO 27001 Global Report 20163 to 6 months20%6 to 12 months51%More than 12 months20%More than 24 months9%
Protect Comply ThriveFinding 6Where implementation costs have been tracked,the average cost is less than 20,000The majority of respondents who haveimplemented or are in the process ofimplementing ISO 27001 (62%) did not tracktheir total implementation costs. Of therespondents who did, the average cost ofimplementing an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS,excluding certification fees, was between 5,000 (US 6,500) and 20,000 (US 26,000)(39%).Given that resistance to information securityfrom executive teams is still a concern (Finding2), it is essential that security teams are capableof articulating the value of their informationsecurity programmes when attempting to justifythe security budget.82% of small businesses with turnovers of lessthan 3.8 million/US 5 million (who had trackedtheir implementation costs), reported that theimplementation of an ISO 27001-compliantISMS cost less than 20,000 (US 26,000).For 50%, it cost less than 5,000 (US 6,500).This indicates that ISO 27001 is totally withinreach for small businesses, contrary to whatis commonly believed, especially whenimplemented in an intelligent manner.If you have quantified it, what was the cost to your organisation of implementing anISO 27001-compliant ISMS in the first year of certification, excluding certificationfees? 5,000 - 20,000/ 7,500 - 29,000/ 6,500 - 26,00039%Less than 5,000/ 7,500/ 6,50022% 20,000 - 50,000/ 29,000 - 73,000/ 26,000 - 65,00020%More than 100,000/ 145,000/ 130,00011% 50,000 - 100 000/ 73,000 - 145,000/ 65,000 - 130,0008%* Currency exchange rates at the time of the survey15www.itgovernance.co.uk

IT managers wereresponsible for the ISMS in 19% of case, whilethe CISO was responsible in 18% of cases.It is interesting to note that there was nomajor difference between small and largeorganisations in terms of the perceived benefitsof employing a full-time ISMS manager, despitethe fact that large organisations may be morein need of a full-time resource to manage theISMS.In companies with annual turnovers of morethan US 100 million, 21% employed a full-timeISMS manager, while the CISO was responsiblefor the ISMS in 31% of cases. In companies withless than a 5 million turnover, a full-time ISMSmanager was employed in 13% of cases, whilethe IT manager took on the role in 23%.The ISMS manager has a prominent role to playin organisations that are certified or consideringcertification to ISO 27001. Not only must theindividual be technically experienced, but theyshould be able to work across all areas of thebusiness in order to understand and applysuitable solutions for the range of challenges.Such a position will usually hold responsibilityfor developing, implementing and maintainingthe ISMS, and providing information securitystrategy, policy, risk advice and guidance toassist in the delivery of business objectives.16ISO 27001 Global Report 2016Who manages the ISMS in yourorganisation?ISMS manager/team (full-timededicated resource)16%IT manager/IT staff member19%CISO18%CIO6%CTO3%Compliance manager/riskmanager15%Quality manager3%Project manager4%Outsourced team/cttvonsultants3%Head of risk/CRO3%Other10%
