ISO 27001 - Information Security Management


ISO 27001 - Information Security Management - Specification with Guidance for Use.

The basic objective of the standard is to help establish and maintain an effective information management system, using a continual improvement approach. It implements OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) principles, governing security of information and network systems.

ISO 27001  is 'harmonized' with other management standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

The broad content is of course similar to the old I.S. 17799-2 and includes:

  • Cross reference with ISO 17799 controls
  • Use of PDCA
  • Information Management System
  • Terms and definitions

Further information on ISO 27001 is available at http://www.27001-online.com

 

ETSI TS 101456 specifies “Policy requirements for certification authorities issuing qualified certificates.”

Qualified certificates are the basis of a special form of electronic signature. Such electronic signatures provide the ability to identify originators of electronic information, and facilitate electronic commerce, since they generate confidence in the authenticity of the user.

ETSI TS 101456 specifies baseline policy requirements on the operation and management practices of those certification authorities who issue qualified certificates, including, where appropriate, the use of secure-signature-creation devices.

NSAI certification of client systems for issuing qualified certificates will provide visible assurance that organisations have appropriate measures in place to generate these electronic signatures, and will provide added confidence for consumers.
