Information technology - Security techniques - Information security management systems - Requirements The purpose of ISO IEC 27001 is to help organizations to establish and maintain an information security management system (ISMS). An ISMS is a set of interrelated elements that organizations use to manage and control information security risks and to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. These elements include all of the policies, procedures, processes, plans, practices, roles, responsibilities, resources, and structures that are used to manage security risks and to protect information.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an information security standard, part of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, of which the last version was published in 2013.

If you don't already have an information security management system (ISMS), you can use the ISO IEC 27001 2013 standard to establish one. And once you've established your organization's ISMS, you can use it to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and to manage and control your information security risks

BS 7799 was a standard originally published by BSI Group in 1995. It was written by the United Kingdom Government Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and consisted of several parts.

The first part,containing the best practices for information security management, was revised in 1998; after a lengthy discussion in the worldwide standards bodies, it was eventually adopted by ISO as ISO/IEC 17799, Information Technology - Code of practice for information security management. in 2000. ISO/IEC 17799 was then revised in June 2005 and finally incorporated in the ISO 27000 series of standards as ISO/IEC 27002 in July 2007.

The second part of BS7799 was first published by BSI in 1999, known as BS 7799 Part 2, titled Information Security Management Systems - Specification with guidance for use. BS 7799-2 focused on how to implement an Information security management system (ISMS), referring to the information security management structure and controls identified in BS 7799-2. This later became ISO/IEC 27001:2005. BS 7799 Part 2 was adopted by ISO as ISO/IEC 27001 in November 2005.

BS 7799 Part 3 was published in 2005, covering risk analysis and management. It aligns with ISO/IEC 27001:2005.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an information security standard, part of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, of which the last version was published in 2013.

The key elements can be described as follows:

Information security risk assessment

Roadmap and plan for ISO 27001 Covering key Points:

• UNDERSTANDING
  Training on Standard Requirement Organizations needs to have the knowledge, skills and capability to support a standard beyond the certification audit.
• PREPARE
  GAP analysis: We do gap analysis & IT Risk analysis to identify what you do and what ISO 27001 recommends to do, it may be process addition or modification to adopt International Best Practices.
• IMPLEMENT
  System Document Development: based on the training the client reviews their own management system and evaluates their existing Security policies and procedures and modifies them to comply with the best practice.
  Internal Auditor: Training Regular internal audits against the system are the requirements of the standard.
• REVIEW
  Standard Implementation: Client must ensure that their employees are adopting the new protocols and procedures inline of the standards.
  Internal Audit: Client conducts an internal audit of their management system implementation. They must examine their own processes and procedures in terms of effectiveness.
  Management Review: Client to discuss the future of their management system with their senior management about the strengths and weakness of the system to identify areas for continual improvement
• ASSESS
  Pre-assessment: A pre-assessment audit done prior to and outside the formal scope of certification to identify area that need more work whilst also preparing key employees for the eventual audits. A useful audit to rehearse ,align and de-bug your system:
  Stage 1 - Assessment: Document Review
  Stage 2 - Assessment: Run through of the implemented systems.
• PROMOTE
  Certification Issue A certificate is provided to your organization.
• CONTINUING ASSESSMENT
  Continuing assessment Visit
  A routine surveillance visit which every year or 12 months cycle over a three year period to monitor and evaluate continuing systems performance.
  
  Re-assessment
  Re certification of your management system is required every three years after the initial certification and covers a comprehensive review of the whole system. It may include an additional stage 1 review where significant problems have been encountered during the course of the certification cycle.
