New ISO 27001 Toolkit Offers Mid-size Organisations a Faster and Affordable Route to Security Compliance
IT Governance Limited has launched a new all-in-one Toolkit for building an Information Security Management System compliant with global best practice. Aimed at mid-size businesses and organisations, it enables work to be conducted in-house, efficiently and on a modest budget.
London, England (PRWEB) April 10, 2006 -- To mark the launch of new security risk assessment standard BS 7799-3: 2006, IT Governance Limited has launched a new ‘ISO 27001 Toolkit’. This provides a comprehensive programme for building an Information Security Management System (ISMS) compliant with global best practice, in respect of ISO/IEC 17799 2005, ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and BS7799-3:2006. Aimed at mid-size businesses and organisations, the Toolkit provides clarity and structure to the project and enables work to be conducted in-house, efficiently and on a modest budget.
The ISO 27001 Toolkit is based upon IT Governance’s definitive guide to ISMS development, ‘A Manager's Guide to Data Security and BS7799/ISO17799’. In addition to the third edition of this book, the Toolkit includes the ISO/IEC 17799 2005, ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and BS7799-3:2006 standards and a CD-ROM with almost 400 densely packed pages of fit-for-purpose policies and procedures. This documentation suite includes a model Information Security Policy, a pre-written Information Security Manual, 110 pre-written policies, analysis tools and training materials.
Toolkit purchasers benefit from IT Governance’s unique Drafting Support Service, which advises them on how to adapt the materials to their particular needs. They also receive IT Governance’s 12-month Automatic Update Service, which ensures that purchasers automatically benefit from any improvements to the Toolkit.
The Toolkit is priced at £699.00 ($1,272.18/€1,013.55), significantly undercutting existing offerings on the market. Further information is available at http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/242.
Alan Calder, chief executive of IT Governance Limited, says, “Creating an Information Security Management System for the first time can be difficult and burdensome. With our new ISO 27001 Toolkit, we’ve sought to eliminate the uncertainties and headaches. In a single box, companies can find everything they need to build a world class system from scratch and at a fraction of the cost of calling in outside experts.”
Due to popular demand, IT Governance is also making all three of Alan Calder’s ISO 27001 books in a single price-saving package. ‘IT Governance: a Manager's Guide to Data Security and BS7799/ISO17799 - 3rd Edition’, ‘Nine Steps to Success: an ISO 27001 Implementation Overview’ and ‘The Case for ISO 27001’ can be bought together for only £99.95 ($181.91/€144.93). Together, these provide complete guidance on ISO 27001 issues for senior executives and project managers.
