The Open Group, a vendor-neutral and technology-neutral consortium, has released a new information security management standard, The Open Group Information Security Management Maturity Model (O-ISM3). The new model enables the creation of Information Security Management (ISM) systems that are fully aligned with a company’s business mission and compliance needs regardless of size, context, and resources.
The new standard allows companies to prioritize and optimize investments in information security, as well as enable continuous improvement of ISM systems using defined metrics. O-ISM3 is compatible with other ISM industry standards, such as the ISO2700x series, ITIL and COBIT.
