B- The Deming cycle for continuous improvement applied to the ISMS
Also in reference to the Information Security Management System, as for the Quality Management Systems ( ISO 9001 ) and Environmental Management Systems ( ISO 14001 ), the aim of Deming's virtuous cycle is to ensure that the organization's best practices are documented, strengthened and improved over time.
In the second phase (DO) the organization will have to implement the decisions taken and the solutions identified in the planning phase. The last two phases (CHECK and ACT) perform the function of strengthening, modifying and improving the solutions identified and applied in the previous phases.
The review can take place at any time and at any frequency: annual or periodic reviews or audits are still required to ensure that the entire management system is achieving its objectives.
