Abstract

Local government offices in Poland are required to apply information security controls that are provided for under Polish regulations of law. The standard of ISO 27001 treats the security issue much more broadly, extending it to the entire information technology system. Due to that reason offices that are considering the need of improving their information technology systems more frequently use information security management systems. The paper discusses selected issues relating to the implementation of such systems.
