Your company hosts critical data in multiple data centers across different countries. The security lead wants to follow recognized global guidelines for safeguarding information and maintaining risk oversight. Which approach aligns with these objectives?
Select a widely known set of instructions covering financial exchanges
Implement a strategy intended specifically for checking service organization controls
Use recognized guidance that addresses process-based safeguards, risk reviews, and future enhancements across sites
Adopt region-specific requirements that do not address multiple jurisdictions
The guidelines from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) revolve around adopting an information security management system (ISMS). They emphasize global acceptance, focus on risk assessment, and encourage continuous improvement of protective measures. Other approaches are narrower in scope—one focuses on specific service organization controls, another deals with financial transactions, and region-specific mandates do not address cross-border needs as effectively.
