In a more general management context, Security management entails the identification of an organization’s information assets and the development, documentation and implementation of policies, standards, procedures and guidelines.

Management tools such as information classification, risk assessment and risk analysis are used to identify threats, classify assets and to rate system vulnerabilities so that effective control can be implemented.
