Review the weekly readings for weeks 1-3 and the Red Clay Renovations company profile for background information before responding to this discussion question.

Prepare a two-page briefing paper (5 to 7 paragraphs) that provides background information for the senior leadership and corporate board for Red Clay Renovations.

In your briefing paper, provide background about what the standard is, what the standard requires, and how the “company” can benefit from implementing a formally documented information security management system (program). You should also address the standard’s requirements for policies to support the information security program.

Your briefing paper should fully answer the question “Why should our company adopt an ISO/IEC 27001 compliant Information Security Program?”

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.
