ISO-17799 Overview
January 20, 2010BS7799 was created in 1999 as a two part document (standard + certification scheme) by the British Standards Institution (BSI)
The standard portion was adopted and converted into an ISO standard in 2000
The certification scheme portions is still a BSI only standard and it’s latest revision is dated 2002
Many worldwide governments policies, standards, guidelines and best practices are based, inspired or in compliance with ISO17799:2000 & BS7799-2:2002 and some of them don’t even know it.
There is a general misconception that it is not a complete standard because it lacks implementation guidelines
Since it was built by a standard organization (BSI), the implementation guidelines where intentionally left out of the document and regroup into other specific standards and “security techniques” (i.e.: ISO13335, PAS56…).
