Security Standards White Papers
ISO17799 and the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act
Overview The ISO17799 is widely regarded as a broad and comprehensive standard for information security best practices. Derived from the pre existing British Standard 7799, this standard has arguably established itself as the premier benchmark for information security. However, increasing awareness of the dangers present and the need for tight controls has resulted in regulations governing critical verticals and also general corporate governance practices. The earliest such regulation is the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLOBE). This regulation is targeted at financial institutions and places relatively clear requirements on firms to implement and maintain security controls and to ensure that financial data is not compromised due to failures of security at the institution or at any of their partners and vendors.
