ISO/IEC 27000 Information Security Standards Family Adopts a New Member
(July 17, 2007)-- ISO/IEC has formally announced the incorporation of the popular Code of Practice for Information Security Management, formerly known as ISO/IEC 17799:2005 and originally BS 7799, into the ISO/IEC 27000-series. The standard is now known as ISO/IEC 27002:2005.
The announcement is more significant than merely a change of name. The growing family of ISO/IEC 27000 series information security standards is increasingly recognised by information security professionals worldwide as an embodiment of good information security practices. Well over 3,500 large and small organizations have been formally certified compliant with ISO/IEC 27001, with many thousands more using the standards internally to structure their approach to information security management and drive continuous security improvements.
First released in 1995, British Standard BS 7799 comprised three parts. Part 1 became ISO/IEC 27002. Part 2 became ISO/IEC 27001. Part 3 is anticipated to become ISO/IEC 27005 in due course.
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrical Committee) released ISO/IEC 17799 in 2000 and revised in 2005. Apart from the name , ISO/IEC 27002:2005 is identical to ISO 17799:2005. Its full English title is: "International Standard ISO/IEC 27002:2005. Information technology - Security techniques - Code of practice for information security management".
The ISO/IEC 27000 family is evolving rapidly but at present comprises the following issued or proposed standards:
* ISO/IEC 27000 - will contain the vocabulary and definitions i.e. the specialist terminology used by all of the ISO27k standards.
* ISO/IEC 27001:2005 - is the Information Security Management System requirements standard (specification) against which organizations are formally certified compliant. Published.
* ISO/IEC 27002:2005 is the code of practice for information security management describing a comprehensive set of information security control objectives and a menu of generally accepted good practice controls. Published.
* ISO/IEC 27003 - will be an implementation guide for these standards.
* ISO/IEC 27004 - will be an information security management measurement (metrics) standard to improve the effectiveness of your ISMS.
* ISO/IEC 27005 - will be an information security risk management standard (replacing BS 7799 Part 3).
* ISO/IEC 27006:2007 - is a guide to the certification or registration process for accredited ISMS certification or registration bodies. Published.
* ISO/IEC 27007 - will be a guideline for auditing Information Security Management Systems.
* ISO/IEC 27031 will be a business continuity standard.
* ISO/IEC 27032 will be guidelines for cybersecurity
* ISO/IEC 27034 will be guidelines for application security.
* ISO/IEC 27799 - will be health sector-specific implementation guidance for ISO/IEC 27002. Other sector-specific implementation guides are planned for industries such as lotteries and (in conjunction with the ITU) telecomms.

ISO/IEC 27011 Information technology
ISO/IEC 27011 Information technology -- Security techniques -- Information security management guidelines for telecommunications (draft)
This ISO/IEC 27001/ISO/IEC 27002 implementation guide for the telecomms industry is being developed jointly by ITU and ISO/IEC. It may be published jointly as ITU-T X.1051 and ISO/IEC 27011 but probably not until 2010.
ITU-T Recommendation X.1051 Information security management system – Requirements for telecommunications (ISMS-T) was originally published in English in July 2004, followed by Spanish, French and Russian translations in 2005. It is based on the ISMS standards extant at that time i.e.:
*
ITU-T Recommendation X.800 (1991), Security architecture for Open Systems Interconnection for CCITT applications.
*
ITU-T Recommendation X.805 (2003), Security architecture for systems providing end-to-end communications.
*
ISO 9001:2000, Quality management systems – Requirements.
*
ISO 14001:1996, Environmental management systems – Specification with guidance for use.
*
ISO/IEC 17799:2000, Information technology – Code of practice for information security management (now known as ISO/IEC 27002).
*
ISO/IEC Guide 73:2002, Risk management – Vocabulary – Guidelines for use in standards.
*
BS 7799-2:2002, Information Security Management Systems – Specification with Guidance for use.
The summary states:
“For telecommunications organizations, information and the supporting processes, telecommunications facilities, networks and lines are important business assets. In order for telecommunications organizations to appropriately manage these business assets and to correctly and successfully continue their business activities, information security management is extremely necessary. This Recommendation provides the requirements on information security management for telecommunications organizations.
This Recommendation specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented information security management system (ISMS) within the context of the telecommunication's overall business risks. It specifies requirements for the implementation of security controls customized to the needs of individual telecommunications or parts thereof.”

Introduction To ISO 27006 (ISO27006)
This is the standard which offers guidelines for the accreditation of organizations which offer certification and registration with respect to an ISMS. Again it was overseen by ISO's committee SC 27. The previous standard related to this issue was EA 7/03. This has effectively been replaced by the new standard, to meet market demands to better support ISO 27001. It effectively documents the requirements additional to those specified within standard ISO 17021, which identified the more generic requirements.
Its formal title is "Information technology - Security techniques. Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of information security management systems", and it consists of 10 chapters and four Annexes.
The chapters within the standard are as follows: Scope; References; Terms; Principles; General Requirements; Structural Requirements; Resource Requirements; Information Requirements; Preciess Requirements; Management System Requirements.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The ISO 27006 standard is intended to be used in conjunction with a number of others. These, specifically, are: ISO 27001, ISO 17021 and ISO 19011.

Introduction To ISO 27005 (ISO27005)
ISO 27005 will be the name of an emerging standard covering information security risk management. As with some of the other standards in the ISO 27000 series, no firm dates have been established for its release. However, it will define the ISMS risk management process, including identification of assets, threats and vulnerabilities.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is likely that the ISO27005 standard will be based upon ISO 13335 (MICTS Part 2), which provide guidelines for the management of information and communications technology security. There is also likely to be a relationship with BS7799-3, which was published in March 2006.
More information will be published on this page as it is made available.
From : www.27000.org
Introduction To ISO 27004 (ISO27004)
ISO 27004 is the official number of the emerging standard covering information security management measurement and metrics. Again, however, it is not expected to be published in the immediate term. However, its development is well underway, being at stage 3, working draft level.
It is intended to help an organization establish the effectiveness of its ISMS implementation, embracing benchmarking and performance targeting within the PDCA cycle.
From : www.27000.org
Introduction To ISO 27003 (ISO27003)
The purpose of this proposed development is to provide help and guidance in implementing an ISMS (Information Security Management System). This will include focus upon the PDCA method, with respect to establishing, implementing reviewing and improving the ISMS itself.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ISO committee SC27 will oversee the development, as with other information security standards.However, this is a longer term project, and publication is not expected until late in 2008 or early in 2009.
Its suggested title at the present time is: "Information technology - Security techniques. Information security management system implementation guidance".
The following is the originally mooted broad table of contents:
