Greetings, fellow cyber guardians.
The past few months have reminded us that cybersecurity isn’t just about technology – it’s about people, processes, and resilience. From airport chaos caused by a supply chain glitch to the growing urgency for boards to take action, the stakes have never been higher.
In this issue, we explore why strengthening your Information Security Management System (ISMS) matters, how a tailored approach to ISO 27001 can unlock real benefits, and what recent disruptions – from cloud outages to supplier attacks – teach us about preparing for the unexpected.
Stay informed, stay secure, and dive into the insights shaping the future of information security.

1. Strengthening Your ISMS: Why People and Processes Matter Most
An effective ISMS isn’t just a set of documents – it’s a living framework that adapts to evolving threats and embeds security into your business culture. Technology alone won’t make you resilient; people and processes are the real game-changers. From employee training and internal audits to third-party oversight and incident response testing, discover how to create a feedback loop that keeps your ISMS strong from the inside out.

2. Unlock the Benefits of ISO 27001 Certification Through a Custom Approach
ISO 27001 often feels like a compliance checkbox – but it doesn’t have to. When tailored to your business, certification becomes a strategic advantage that strengthens security, builds trust, and drives growth. In this article, we tackle five common challenges IT leaders face and show how a bespoke approach can turn each one into an opportunity.
3. Grounded by a Glitch: Why Supply Chain Cybersecurity Matters
A recent cyberattack on a third-party software supplier caused chaos at major European airports, forcing airlines to revert to pen-and-paper processes. This incident highlights a critical truth: your cybersecurity is only as strong as the weakest link in your supply chain. As businesses become increasingly interconnected, understanding and mitigating supply chain risks is no longer optional – it’s essential.
