The implications of ISO 17799 on corporate security
Analyse your exposure to security threats and how they
may be effectively reduced
Manage the additional risks to your organisation via
the Internet
Meet the standard's requirements in respect of contingency
Successfully attain certification
COURSE BENEFITS:
Certification against the Standard provides the means
for organisations to demonstrate to their trading partners
the confidentiality, availability, and the integrity of
their information security practices, also to compare their
own practices with those of their business partners. However
for those organisations that decide that it isn't practical
for them to seek certification, benchmarking their security
systems against ISO17799 ensures that they are following
industry best practice.
Before delegates consider certification, or indeed any
formal public statement on this issue, it is important that
they gain confidence in the underlying compliance level
that exists within IT. In this respect they are shown how
to establish the current compliance position as a first
step to conformance. This involves a security audit and
delegates are equipped with a questionnaire, which will
help them to meet the standards requirements.
To understand how they must comply delegates are taken
step by step through the standard with all its implications.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS WORKBOOK:
This course is intended for delegates who require skills to evaluate existing
security, define security policy and implement effective
countermeasures to protect their organisations systems from
attack.
