Iso 27001

Information about Iso 27001

It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 27002, the Code of Practice for Information Security Management, which lists security control objectives and recommends a range of specific security controls. Organizations that implement an ISMS in accordance with the best practice advice in ISO 27002 are likely simultaneously to meet the requirements of ISO 27001, but certification is entirely optional.

This standard is the first in a family of information security related ISO standards which are expected to be assigned numbers within the 27000 series. Others are anticipated to include:

ISO/IEC 27000 - a vocabulary or glossary of terms used in the ISO 27000-series standards
ISO/IEC 27003 - a new ISMS implementation guide
ISO/IEC 27004 - a new standard for information security measurement and metrics
ISO/IEC 27005 - a proposed standard for risk management, potentially related to the current British Standard BS 7799 part 3
ISO/IEC 27006 - a guide to the certification/registration process
ISO/IEC 27007 - a guideline for auditing information security management systems (in preparation)
ISO/IEC 27799 - a guide to ISO 27001 for health sector organizations

ISO/IEC 27002 has already been published, and was formerly called ISO/IEC 17799

ISO 27001 was based upon and replaced BS 7799 part 2 which was withdrawn.

Several ISO affiliated national standards bodies have published localized versions of the standard. Generally speaking, these are simply language translations which retain the information content of ISO 27001.

Certification

The ISO 27000 series information about information security management - not perfect, necessarily, but at least on the right path to continuous, managed improvement.

Organizations may be certified compliant with ISO 27001 by a number of accredited certification bodies worldwide. Certification against any of the recognized national variants of ISO 27001 (e.g. the Japanese version) by an accredited certification body is functionally equivalent to certification against ISO 27001 itself. Certification audits are usually led/conducted by ISO 27001 Lead Auditors.

In some countries, the bodies which verify conformity of management systems to specified standards are called "certification bodies", in others "registration bodies", "assessment and registration bodies", "certification/ registration bodies", and sometimes "registrars".

ISO/IEC 27001 certification^[1] usually involves a two-stage audit process:

Stage 1 is a "table top" review of the existence and completeness of key documentation such as the organization's Security Policy, Statement of Applicability (SoA) and Risk Treatment Plan (RTP).

Stage 2 is a detailed, in-depth audit involving testing the existence and effectiveness of the ISMS controls stated in the SoA and RTP, as well as their supporting documentation.

Certification renewal involves periodic reviews and re-assessments to confirm that the ISMS continues to operate as specified and intended.
