Beyond Compliance: How Queen Mary, University London implemented an effective ISO 27001 ISMS

About the Event

Queen Mary University of London’s ISO/IEC 27001:2022 implementation demonstrates how a large, complex institution can successfully embed information security at scale. As a Russell Group university, QMUL has set an ambitious goal to achieve certification across its entire IT Services function while creating consistent, practical security practices for day-to-day operations.

In this upcoming webinar, QMUL and Waterstons will share their approach, offering insight into the journey from strategy through to delivery and beyond. The session will begin by setting the strategic context, outlining the need to strengthen trust with partners and regulators, and to establish a structured, organisation-wide approach to managing information risk.

It will then move into planning and mobilisation, covering the initial gap analysis, development of a prioritised roadmap, and the establishment of governance structures to support delivery.

The webinar will also explore the implementation journey, including policy rationalisation, development of key procedures, and embedding of risk management and control frameworks across the organisation.

Finally, it will look ahead, considering how QMUL plans to sustain momentum through continuous improvement, strengthen areas such as secure development and asset management, and ensure the Information Security Management System continues to evolve to meet future challenges.
