Module 4 of 7 · ISO 27001 · Clause 7

Support

Support in information security comes down to staff who are aware of the risks and documentation that is controlled, not a manual nobody reads.

Content reviewed on

Resources and competence

Determine the resources the ISMS needs and ensure staff with security responsibilities are competent.

Awareness

All staff must know the security policy, their contribution to the system's effectiveness and the consequences of not following procedures.

Documented information

ISMS documents and records controlled with version, approval, access restricted by classification and proper retention.

What an auditor usually asks for

  • Information security training records
  • Evidence of awareness campaigns (phishing, passwords)
  • An up-to-date ISMS master document list
  • Document access control based on classification

How to cover support in Kimobox

  1. 1Log each employee's security training on their record in the employee portal.
  2. 2Manage ISMS documentation with classification and profile-based access control.
  3. 3Communicate the policy and relevant incidents directly to each user based on their role.

Security training stops being a PDF sent by email: it stays on record with a date and an expiry.
