7 steps for evaluating, comparing, and selecting frameworks:

  1. Identify frameworks that align with regulatory compliance requirements.
  2. Assess the organization’s risk appetite and select frameworks that align with its strategic goals.
  3. Compare your organization to others in the industry to determine the most commonly used frameworks and their relevance.
  4. Choose frameworks that can scale as the business grows.
  5. Select frameworks that help the organization better align with its clients.
  6. Conduct a cost analysis to assess the feasibility of implementing the framework(s).
  7. Determine whether the framework can be implemented in-house or if external guidance is needed.

This process helps organizations select the most suitable framework for their needs and long-term.

The methodology outlined in this manual has been designed to complement existing policies and frameworks, helping create a benchmark for cyber resilience knowledge and skills.

  • Designed to help organizations better prepare themselves to deal with the increasing range and complexity of cyber threats.
  • Provides a management approach to assist organizations with their compliance needs, complementing new and existing policies and frameworks.
  • Developed by experts in hands-on cyber resilience and systems management, working closely with subject and technology experts in cyber security assessment.

When can we become certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2013?

by Lewis Morgan @ ITG

At this moment in time, we can only provide an estimate which is based on the insight provided by Chair of the UK ISO/IEC 27001 User Group and Director of consultancy at IT Governance Ltd, Steve Watkins. Considering Steve’s position, we believe his estimates to be the best guidelines an organization can follow.

The following is directly taken from the ISO27001:2013 Transition Webinar by Steve Watkins

“It’s likely that as of 1st January 2014, certification bodies will be able to start the transition to the 2013 version of ISO27001 standard. If that is indeed the case, it’s likely to be that as of 30th September, no new ISO27001:2005 certificates can be issued. This means that by the end of September 2016 all ISO27001:2005 certificates should have transitioned to the 2013 version of the standard”

The image below further illustrates what Steve discussed on the webinar, including his suggestions in terms of what organizations should do next.

New Draft ISO27001 and ISO27002 Standards

Category: ISO 27k — DISC @ 2:26 pm

Check out the ITG site for details

Industry Update

New Draft ISO27001 and ISO27002 Standards

It has been announced that new Drafts of the two international information security standards ISO27001 (ISMS Requirements) and ISO27002 (Code of Practice) have been published.

These Drafts have been published for the purpose of public consultation. As these are international standards, the consultation process operates internationally, via national standards bodies.

Anyone can comment on the proposed standard and all the comments will then be assembled and reviewed by the committee. The public consultation period closes on 23 March 2013.

To help you understand the proposed changes and implications of these new draft standards we have created an information page.

Click here to read in full about the ISO27001/ISO27002: 2013 Draft Standards

You can also purchase your own copies of the draft standards here:

We will keep you updated with the progress of these standards. Once the new standards are officially published, the existing standards will be withdrawn, however there will be a transition timetable that enables organisations to move from the existing standard to the new one.
