Information and information security requirements will continue to be aligned with SYNBIOTIX SOLUTIONS LTD goals and the ISMS is intended to be an enabling mechanism for information sharing, for electronic operations and for reducing information-related risks to acceptable levels.

SYNBIOTIX SOLUTIONS LTD current strategic business plan and risk management framework provide the context for identifying, assessing, evaluating and controlling information-related risks through the establishment and maintenance of an ISMS. The Risk Assessment, Statement of Applicability and Risk Treatment Plan identify how information-related risks are controlled.

Additional risk assessments may, where necessary, be carried out to determine appropriate controls for specific risks. 
In particular, business continuity and contingency plans, data backup procedures, avoidance of viruses and hackers, access control to systems and information security incident reporting are fundamental to this policy. Control objectives for each of these areas are contained in the Manual and are supported by specific documented policies and procedures.
