A public ISMS (Information Security Management System) is an open, transparent framework where security policies, procedures, threat models, and risk assessments are publicly available—unlike traditional ISMSs kept confidential. Hack23's public ISMS on GitHub (https://github.com/Hack23/ISMS-PUBLIC) demonstrates our security expertise through actual implementation, not just claims. This transparency: (1) Proves we follow our own recommendations, (2) Allows prospects to evaluate our methodology before engagement, (3) Provides free templates and examples for the security community, (4) Demonstrates confidence in our security posture. It's security through transparency, not security through obscurity.
