IT security subjects - Auditor suggested we implement BS 7799

[meserret]

Hi!
At our last continuing assessments our auditors evaluated our IT departments. They made several suggestions and we practiced those suggestions. On the last IT evaluation they suggested us to implement BS 7799. The BSI standard on IT security. As our registration firm suggested that but we have no example here, we didnt begin working on this. Because we had no idea about, there was nobody here to implement this new standard.
Does anybody have any idea and information about this standard? (BS 7799) If so, may I obtain one copy if possible?

Thanks a lot

Regarding BS7799, if you go onto the internet search and type in BS7799 there are numerous sites with information. I think you will find exactly what you need there.

Yes,
receiving your reply, I looked for BS7799 on internet. I found numerous articles and they gave an idea about the subject but I still dont have the standard itself.
Anyway, I thank you for your comment.
I can appreciate any comments on the subject.
Thanks.
