ISO 27001 is the newly published security standard that replaces ISO 17799 and BS 7799 as the only certifiable security governance standard. This new certification will become the most widely accepted proof of the quality of an organizations security program. As with BS7799-2, a robust audit and certification scheme supports the standard. For those already certified against BS7799, accredited certification bodies will establish transitional arrangements.
The ISO 27001 is the first in a family of international information security standards that will underpin and protect IT worldwide over the next decade. ISO27001 is designed to harmonize with ISO9001:2000 and ISO14001:1996 so that management systems can be effectively integrated. It implements the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model and reflects the principles of the 2002 OECD guidance on the security of information systems and networks.
