New ISO/IEC 27000 2012 Edition covers Information Technology – Security Techniques – Information Security Management Systems – Overview And Vocabulary

ISO/IEC 27000 2nd Edition, “Information Technology – Security Techniques – Information Security Management Systems – Overview And Vocabulary,” has just been released and is available in paper and pdf format from Document Center Inc.  The standard provides an overview of information security management systems and defines related terms.  It is applicable to all kinds of organizations (for example: commercial enterprises, government agencies, and not-for-profit associations).

This 32-page second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 27000:2009).  The standard has been adopted directly by some European countries (see: BS ISO/IEC 27000 for the British edition), but not by the European Union (EN) as a whole at this time.

The standard is the first in the the Information Security Management System (ISMS) family of standards.  The series is intended to help organizations manage the security of their information assets including financial information, intellectual property, employee details, and customer information.

Here’s a list of the set:

  • ISO/IEC 27000:2012, Information security management systems — Overview and vocabulary
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2005, Information security management systems — Requirements
  • ISO/IEC 27002:2005, Code of practice for information security management
