ISO 27001 Information Security Management System
ISO/IEC 27001 specifies requirements for the establishment, implementation, monitoring and review, maintenance and improvement of a management system - an overall management and control framework - for managing an organization's information security risks. It does not mandate specific information security controls but stops at the level of the management system. It is a set of 'best practices' controls - management and systems - that enables you and your organization demonstrate 'best practices' are implemented and 'continually' improved. The ISO/IEC 27002 2005 standard consists of recommended information security practices.
