BS7799 is the most widely recognised security standard in the world. Although it was originally published in the mid-nineties, it was the re-vision of May 1999 which really put it on to the world stage. Ultimately, it evolved into BS EN ISO17799 in December 2000.

BS 7799 (ISO17799) is comprehensive in its coverage of security issues, containing a significant number of control requirements. Compliance with it is consequently a far from trivial task, even for the most security conscious of organizations.

Complying With BS7799

Achieving compliance with BS 7799 is a a substantial task. Assessing compliance levels for information systems, and then creating/implementing the necessary plans to become fully compliant, can be a very intensive process indeed. However, with the correct approach and method this effort can be minimized.
