NetSecure - BS7799 CODE OF PRACTICE

The Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) with the assistance of a group of leading UK organisations developed a Code of Practice (CoP) for Information Security management. This Code of Practice was the basis for the British Standard Institute (BSI) BS7799 published in 1995. After further industry consultation review and the British Standards Approval the standard was revised and issued in 1999.

A scheme for certification against BS7799 was developed by the DTI, industry, the UK Accredited Certification Service (UKAS) and the BSI. The scheme, called c:cure, is similar to ISO 9000 where compliance with the standard is assessed by independent accredited certifiers who award the certificates to successful companies.

BS7799 ( now ISO 17799) provides a common basis in developing organisational security standards and effective security management practice and provides confidence when dealing with other organisations who also are certified to BS7799.

BS7799 Is Issued In Two Parts: Part 1: Code of practice for information security management Part 2: Specification for information security management systems
