World's First ISO 27001 Certification Guides Launched
IT Governance Ltd launches world’s first practical guides to help company directors and IT project managers understand and achieve certification to ISO 27001, the brand new global certification standard for information security management.
Ely, United Kingdom (PRWEB) October 26, 2005 -- IT Governance Ltd has launched the world’s first practical guides to help company directors and IT project managers understand and achieve certification to ISO 27001, the newly published global certification standard for information security management (replaces BS7799 and complements ISO 17799). In the modern corporate governance climate, ISO 27001 certification will increasingly become a prerequisite for winning new business, thereby accelerating the transfer of IT security issues from the data room to the boardroom.
· ‘The Case for ISO 27001’ eBook is a plain-English guide designed to give non-technical directors an understanding of why information security is a C-Suite responsibility, and how the new standard meets the needs of corporate IT infrastructure, information risk and regulatory compliance.
· ‘Nine Steps to Success – an ISO 27001 Implementation Overview’ eBook is a practical guide for IT security project managers that provides a rigorous approach through which compliance and certification can be achieved without delay.
· The ‘ISO 27001 Toolkit’ is a comprehensive ‘do-it-yourself’ programme with which companies can achieve ISO 27001 compliance without calling in expensive consultants.
All three are authored by Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance Ltd and a global authority on information security management. He led the world’s first successful implementation of BS 7799 and wrote the definitive compliance guide for this standard, ‘IT Governance: A Manager’s Guide to Data Security and BS7799/ISO17799’. The 3rd edition of this book is the basis for the UK Open University’s postgraduate course on Information Security.
‘The Case for ISO 27001’ and ‘Nine Steps to Success – an ISO 27001 Implementation Overview’ are each priced at £29.95. The ‘ISO 27001 Toolkit’ is £495.00. All may be downloaded from www.itgovernance.co.uk/page.bs7799.
Alan Calder commented, “Businesses are waking up to the concept of information security management, and ISO 27001 is the new gold standard in this.”
