Based on the significant lessons learned from the Chamberlyns project, particularly the initial focus on ISO27001 and the strategic pivot towards implementing ICA (I’m assuming ICA refers to IASME Cyber Assurance, given the context), let’s consolidate the insights gained into a coherent narrative for the case study.
