What is security management?
Security management refers to the structured coordination and oversight of an organization’s information security efforts. This includes policies, risk governance, accountability structures, monitoring, and continuous improvement—all aimed at protecting critical assets and ensuring regulatory compliance.
You can think of security management as the captain of a ship: they don’t steer the vessel directly at all times, but they are responsible for the direction, procedures, and coordination that keep the ship safe and on course.
Example
An organization that adopts ISO/IEC27001 as a management framework defines responsibilities, formalizes risk acceptance, and conducts regular audits and improvements—this is a clear sign of strong security management.
