Define the scope of the Information Security Management System (ISMS)

This task is crucial as it sets the boundaries for your ISMS implementation. Define the scope by considering the organizational structure, responsibilities, and assets that need protection. Clearly define what is within the scope and what is not. The desired result is a well-defined scope that aligns with the organization's objectives and risk appetite. To complete this task, gather information from relevant stakeholders and conduct thorough analysis.
