ISO
17799 Information Security Management Systems
Information
is the lifeblood of all organizations……
It
can exist in many forms. It can be printed or written on paper, stored
electronically, transmitted by mail or by electronic means, shown in films, or
spoken in conversation.
In
today's competitive business environment, such information is constantly under
threat from many sources. These can be internal, external, accidental, or
malicious.
With
the increased use of new technology to store, transmit, and retrieve
information, we have all opened ourselves up to increased numbers and types of
threats.
There
is a need to establish a comprehensive Information Security Policy within all
organizations. You need to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of both vital corporate information and customer information.
The
standard for Information Security Management System (ISMS) BS ISO/IEC 17799, has
fast become one of the world's established biggest sellers.
