The New ISO 17799:2005 - Security Policy Implications for Business

• Tags:
• security standards

Overview For most organizations that have already adopted the ISO/IEC 17799:2000 standard, the updated ISO 17799:2005 will impact them in several major areas. While there were many changes in naming and organization, the 2005 standard did introduce several new technical areas, including electronic commerce and vulnerability management. Organizations should do a gap-analysis between their current policies and these new controls within the areas that have been updated. The newer, detailed implementation guidance of the 2005 standard should help this process. For organizations that find policy gaps in their coverage of the standard, Information Security Policies Made Easy, Version 10, contains a complete set of over 1300 pre-written information security policies that cover all topic areas of the new 2005 standard.
