Information security has become one of the daunting business challenges for organizations worldwide. It is becoming increasingly important for progressive institutions to respond to security related events and violations in a pre-emptive and structured manner as any ignorance or casual / improper handling may lead to un-authorized disclosure of confidential information or even unavailability of system.

CDC, which is already renowned for its initiatives for the continuous enhancement of clients’ information security, has taken another step in this direction by recently implementing Information Security Management System (ISMS) in the organization. This global standard for information security given by International Standards Organization (ISO) has been embraced by the world’s biggest financial organizations for enhancing information security levels.

The ISMS not only specifies pre-emptive measures for information security but also specifies an effective information security incident reporting mechanism. This mechanism ensures that all security threats, whether identified by management, staff or customers are not only reported in a structured manner but also appropriate corrective/pre-emptive action is performed on the same.
