Distilling a Large Document into an ISO ISMS Process Document

Writing a corporate policy, standard, or process document requires the use of minimalistic writing when writing as an ISO (International Standards Organization) document. This can be challenging depending on the content, yet possible with express attention to what is “really” needed, what is not, and knowing that you should never repeat any information that is already published in a policy or standard. A simple reference in your process document is sufficient.

In this session, you will hear about my recent journey to reduce a 140-page document to 39 pages using the ISO recommended format that was further modified with my company’s global stylesheet and stored on the corporate intranet following the Information Security Management System (ISMS) structure.
