Information security protects information from a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize business damage, and maximize return on investment and business opportunities Every organization will have a differing set of requirements in terms of controls and the level of confidentiality, integrity, and availability required

ISO/IEC 17799= BS 7799 Part I - Code of Practice for Information Management practice -Provides a Comprehensive sets of Security Controls. -Based on Best Information Security Practices. -It cannot be used for assessment and registration. ISO 27001 = BS 7799 Part- 2 - Specification for Information Security Management Systems -Specifies requirements for establishing, implementing and documenting Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). - Specifies requirements of Security Controls to be implemented. - Can be used for assessment and registration.

Elevation to international Standard Status. More Organization are expected to adopt it. Clarifications and Improvements made by the International Organization for Standardization. Definition alignment with other ISO standards (such as ISO/IEC 13335- 1: 2004 and ISO /IEC TR 18044:2004)

An internationally recognized structured methodology dedicated to information security A management process to evaluate, implement and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS) A comprehensive set of controls comprised of best practices in information security Applicable to all industry sectors Emphasis on prevention

A technical standard Product or technology driven An equipment evaluation methodology such as the Common Criteria/ISO 15408 - But may require utilization of a Common Criteria Equipment Assurance Level (EAL)

ISO 27001 defines best practices for information security management. A management system should balance Physical, Technical, Procedural and Personnel Security. Without a formal Information Security Management System, such as a BS 7799-2 based system, there is a greater risk to your security being breached. Information security is a management process, not a technological process.

The Introduction of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 identifies 10 controls as: “ a good starting point for implementing information security. They are either based on essential legislative requirements or considered to be common practice for information security.”

Controls Considered Essential from a Legislative Point of View Data protection and privacy of personal information Protection of organizational records Intellectual property rights Controls Considered to be Best Practice Information security policy document Allocation of information security responsibilities Information security awareness, education, and training Correct processing in applications Technical vulnerability management Business continuity management Management of information security incidents and improvements

ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Clause 4.2.1 requires a risk assessment to be carried out to identify threats to assets. Guidance is now available using ISO/IEC 27005:2008
