The international standard 1SO/IEC 17799 was developed by the BSI as BS 7799.
BS 7799 Part 1 and 2 provide specifications with guidance for use, and recommendations for establishing effective Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Comprising of 10 domains and 127 controls of the ISO 17799 standard, this reference applies to the development, implementation and maintenance stages of an Information Security system.
