U.S. companies seeking the knowledge, tools and advice to help them adopt best-practice IT governance and information security have a new dedicated resource to turn to.
A Web site, www.27001.com, has been launched as a one-stop shop for all the key ISO27001/ISO17799 standards, books and tools available.
The Web site is the latest innovation from IT Governance Limited, a global evangelist for best-practice infosecurity and governance.
The company sources , creates and delivers products and services to meet the real-world, evolving IT governance needs of today's organizations, directors, managers and practitioners.
ISO27001 is the new international standard of information security best practice.
It provides the blueprints for private and public sector organizations to build an effective information security management system (ISMS).
Through www.27001.com, organizations can find out how an IS027001 ISMS works with ISO17799 to help them meet their business needs for cost-effective information security while meeting their information-related regulatory compliance objectives and preparing them for new and emerging regulations.
U.S. regulatory requirements addressed by the site include HIPAA, GLBA, SB 1386 and other state breach laws, PIPEDA, FISMA and EU Safe Harbour regulations.
"Information, information technology and information security are always business issues, not just IT ones" said Alan Calder, IT Governance CEO and an international authority on ISO27001. "Top management is accountable for the organization's information technology strategy and deployment and, therefore, needs the knowledge and tools to govern this effectively".
