Creating and selling computer software: whether for on premise, hybrid cloud, or cloud; whether created for commercial enterprises, not for profit, or for retail customers;  whether designed to run on a computer, a mobile device, a server, or cloud provisioned virtual hardware.

Computer software categories include:

- bespoke software designed for your needs: be it an app for your new start-up, a new website or an enterprise application for your business
- commercial off the shelf software (COTS) designed to be best in class for a specific business need or function.
- SAAS - software as a service - running from the cloud.  You don't need to do anything to support the software, you simply subscribe to the service.
- OS - operating software - the software that keeps your computer hardware, or indeed cloud hardware operating as it should
- PAAS - software that supports platform as a service - you don't need to look after the hardware, or the patching, or the provisioning, this is all done for you
- SASE - pronounced SASSY - the new software that 'virtualises' all the hardware and connectivity - so you never need to buy or look after a firewall again

Standard core business software application types include ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), MRP (Manufacturing Requirements Planning), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Finance, Accounting, and HR - furthermore each business sector will have specific application types.

Core consumer software categories include gaming, gambling and social media as examples, but the total range of consumer software categories is vast.

The scope, function, and role of software applications is going through a generational change with the power of AI technologies.

ISO 27001 is the globally recognised framework for information security, and protecting against cyber threats.

"ISO 27001 accreditation" relates to services that support companies in achieving accreditation, and also to services related to auditing and providing actual ISO 27001 accreditation.


ISO 27001 accreditation is a benchmark for achieving a good level of cyber resilience.
 
Increasingly, medium and large companies are requiring ISO 27001 or equivalent accreditation before they will do business with a potential supplier.

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (also known as ISO 27001) is one of the most respected international standards for information security. The heart of ISO 27001 is an information security management system (ISMS).

ISO 27001’s addresses information security or cyber vulnerabilities that arise through people, processes or  technology failings

Once in place, the ISO 27001 framework  will help your company  “establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve an ISMS”.

From a cyber security perspective, more often than not, it is a supplier failing that is at the root cause of a cyber security breach.  Supply Chain or Third Party Cyber Risk Management enables visibility on how cyber resilient your suppliers are, where the risks are, and allows you to identify steps to mitigate those risks. 

Third Party risk management is essential for maintaining cyber security resilience.
