ISO 17799 compared to ISO 27001

ISO 17799 is Part 1 of BS 7799 (the ISO standard for information security). ISO 17799 is a code of best practice for information security management and provides practical guidance on implementation of the security controls that should be implemented on the basis of the ISO 27001 risk assessment. ISO 17799 will be renumbered to ISO/IEC 27002 in the course of 2007.
ISO 27001 is Part 2 of BS 7799 is the risk assessment standard for certification and sets the requirements that an organization must fulfill in order to establish an information security management system. The PTA ISO 27001:27005 is a full implementation of the ISO 27001 compliance check list. If you find that ISO 17799 is more relevant to your practice, please contact us and we may consider development of a PTA library for this standard as well.
