Building the ISMS. ISO 27001 for Software Companies, #1

Building the ISMS explains how software and SaaS companies design an information security management system that fits the way they build, ship, and run products. It gives product, engineering, security, and leadership teams a practical path to scope the ISMS, understand context, assign responsibility, assess risk, select controls, document the Statement of Applicability, and create evidence-producing routines without turning security into bureaucracy.
What you'll get: Scope + boundaries that fit SaaS and cloud-native delivery Risk management that drives decisions (not just a risk register) Governance that works: roles, responsibilities, leadership involvement, operating cadence Policies + standards engineers can actually follow - with pragmatic levels of detail Evidence-producing routines that make the ISMS observable over time A clear foundation for operating information security with confidence What it helps you produce:a pragmatic ISMS design, a workable evidence strategy, and an operating cadence that supports secure delivery and customer trust.
Typical questions this volume answers: What should the ISMS scope be for a SaaS product and its supporting services? How do we turn ISO 27001 risk assessment into decisions and prioritization? Which controls belong in the first management-system design, and how do we document the SoA? What evidence routines make the ISMS visible, repeatable, and trustworthy? Who it's for:Startups and scaleups that need ISO 27001 to strengthen delivery, reliability, and customer trust - not add bureaucracy.
