ISO 27001
Standard

from the

ISO 27001 is the long awaited information security management systems (ISMS) standard. It was formerly published as BS7799-2 by the British Standards Institute.

It is the first of what is anticipated to be a series of standards covering information security related topics, and numbered within the ISO 27000 series. Other will include risk assessment, security metrics and eventually the re-publication of ISO 17799.

The Quality Management Network is currently working upon a specific section to assist with this standard. As with the other standards we cover, this will include an FAQ, details of registration bodies, the relationship between ISO 27001 and ISO 17799, and so forth.
