According to this standard, information and the relating systems, processes and employees are the property and need to be protected. Because information exists and is stored in many different forms, so organisations have to get appropriate protecting methods to limit risks.

Beside the IS risks caused by being attacked by deliberate sabotage, organisations might also encounter information risks if: Management processes, operations were not ensured; Managing access rights had not been checked and reviewed periodically; Perception of staffs in using and exchanging information was incomplete… Therefore, in addition to technical methods, organisations should formulate appropriate policies, regulations, operation processes and apply those ones to reduce risks.
