Information Security and ISO 27001Overview:

This paper, written by ISO27001 expert Alan Calder, answers these basic questions and others and points to online resources and tools that are useful to anyone tasked with leading an information security project. The information in this paper is suitable for all sizes of organizations, and all sectors, anywhere in the world. The last few years have seen board corporate governance requirements increasingly more defined and specific. As information technology has become pervasive, underpinning and supporting almost every aspect of the organization, manipulating and storing the information on which the organization depends for its survival, so the role of IT in corporate governance has become more clearly defined and IT governance is increasingly recognised as a specific area for board and corporate attention.
