ISO/IEC 27034 Application Security

Companies are dealing with many security efforts to protect their information. One of their biggest challenges is to have a security system that is operational, simple, organized, efficient and timely effective. Along with an information security management system (ISMS), companies should implement other processes and controls or comply with guidance guidelines that will ensure a secure information flow on their information systems and applications. Companies implementing ISO/IEC 27034, and companies who don't because of not seeing it as the priority on their agenda, ultimately still have to protect sensitive information, such as information collected, computed, stored and communicated by their applications. As a result of any breach or lost concerning organization's sensitive information, it can produce an unacceptable impact and make a difference between profitability and loss. Organizations’ should make an investment to train their staff on standards such as ISO/IEC 27034 which specifically deals with application security.
