The Information Security Standard

ISO 17799 / ISO 27001 INTRODUCTION

The international standard for information security is actually TWO documents:

1) ISO 17799

This is in fact a code of practice: a series of best practice controls carefully defined for selection.

2) BS7799 / ISO 27001

This is a standard for an information security management system, often known as an ISMS. It is increasingly aligned with other management standards, such as ISO 9000. 

SECUREZONE AND THE STANDARD

We will shortly be introducing an entire sub-site devoted to this standard. This will include an FAQ, forum, a resource directory, and a range of other sections.

In the meantime, the following resources may be of use:

ISO 17799 News

This is the ISO 17799 Newsletter. It is published every few months and is dedicated to the standard.

 

ISO 17799 and ISO 27001 Guide

This is interesting because it is a so-called wiki. New pages of information can be added directly by the public, and existing pages edited!

 

SEMPER

OK, we may be straying a trifle, but this is a good summary of someo of the other security standards on the periphery of ISO 17799

 

ISO 17799, ISO 27001 Central

This is a compact but diverse portal, containing a certification register, glossary, translations and other features.
