State-of-the-art information security management systems with new ISO/IEC 27001:2005 standard

Information security flaws can result in escalating financial losses and wreak havoc with business operations. The newly published ISO/IEC 27001:2005 standard for information security management systems can help organizations plug existing leaks and prevent future threats.
"The publication of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 is a big event in the world of information security and the standard has been eagerly awaited," said Ted Humphreys, Convenor of the working group responsible for managing the development of the standard. "It is a standard that all security-conscious organizations should look to implement."
ISO/IEC 27001:2005 can be used by a broad range of organizations – small, medium and large – in most of the commercial and industrial market sectors: finance and insurance, telecommunications, utilities, retail and manufacturing sectors, various service industries, transportation sector, governments and many others.
The implementation of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 will reassure customers and suppliers that information security is taken seriously within the organizations they deal with because they have in place state-of-the-art processes to deal with information security threats and issues.
Information is an asset, which, like other important business assets, adds value to an organization and consequently needs to be protected. Information security protects information from a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize business damage and maximize return on investments and business opportunities. An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It encompasses people, processes and IT systems.
ISO /IEC 27001:2005, Information technology – Security techniques – Information security management systems – Requirements, specifies the processes to enable a business to establish, implement, review and monitor, manage and maintain an effective ISMS.
ISO/IEC 27001:2005 integrates the process-based approach of ISO's management system standards – ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 – including the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle and requirement for continual improvement.
The new standard forms a complementary pair with the recently published ISO/IEC 17799:2005 "code of practice" on information security management.
Organizations that so wish can have their information security management systems independently certified as conforming to the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2005, although certification is not a requirement of the standard.
Up to now, organizations that wished to have their ISMS certified have done so in conformity with the British Standard BS 7799 Part 2. This is now possible against ISO/IEC 27001:2005, which is an International Standard.
ISO/IEC 27001:2005, Information technology – Security techniques – Information security management systems – Requirements, costs 124 Swiss francs and is available from ISO national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details) and from the ISO Central Secretariat (see below). It was developed by ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 27, Security techniques, Working Group WG 1, Requirements, security services and guidelines.

What's the industry buzz on ISO 27001?

Anyone have thoughts on what will happen with this standard? It seems to me that Information Security is a growing concern for all companies, and having an ISMS is a must. But is the Standard itself taking off?

Sidney, I know DNV is offering registration to this standard; is there a lot of interest?

Not yet. Like many other Standards, other parts of the World seem to deploy BS 7799 and ISO 27001 much sooner and faster that in the Good Ol' USA.
But when you have so much sensitive data being broken in, on a daily basis, it is quite logical to expect that American corporations will heed to the need to manage information security more carefully, since the risks are getting higher. Since ISO 27001 provides for a good model to do so, it leads me to believe that the US corporations will awake to the Standard in the next 2-3 years.

Thanks Sidney. I agree that the US will probably lag behind the rest of the world in adopting 27001, but it will happen. Is DNV training auditors in the US on this Standard yet?

I don't know about others, but we are offering training to 27000.

ISO 27001:2005 - Information Security Management System Lead Auditor Course
Duration - 5 Days

Course Description

BSI’s “ISO 27001:2005 – Information Security Management System Lead Auditor” teaches students the fundamentals of auditing information security management systems to ISO 27001:2005. This five-day intensive course trains students on how to conduct audits for certification bodies and facilitate the ISO 27001:2005 registration process. The auditing exercises and lectures are based on ISO 19011:2002, “Guidelines for Quality and/or Environmental Management Systems Auditing.” The course is designed specifically for those people who wish to conduct external assessments or internal audits to ISO 27001:2005, although students will also gain the knowledge and understanding necessary to give practical help and information to other individuals and organizations working toward conformance to the standard.

This course is registered* by the governing board of the IQA - International Register of Certified Auditors (IRCA) and meets part of the training requirements of those seeking registration as a lead auditor under that scheme. It also meets the training requirements for IATCA auditor certification.

I guess you mean ISO 27001 Randy. There's a lot of loose terminology around (not too much on here thankfully :) ) as a lot of folks seem to be struggling with the different numbers.

ISO 27000 is in fact a generic label only: see http://www.27000.org

The other numbers within have been allocated, but if and when they get populated... it's probably known as 'ISO time'.

Sorry.. no offense intended. Like myself, you will have been around the web and seen how often the terms are loosely interchanged. It's easy to forget this when you are discussing with more informed folks like yourself.

Re: ISO 20k

Will ISO 20k take off?
Same as ISO 27k1. We already have our first customers for 20k and 27k1 certification...

Btw, here is also a draft guideline for application of 27k1 in healthcare: ISO/DIS 27799 "Health informatics -- Security management in health using ISO/IEC 17799"
