BS ISO/IEC 27003:2010
Guidance on implementing information security management systems including security techniques
What is it?
BS ISO/IEC 27003:2010 gives core recommendations for the design of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in line with ISO/IEC 27001:2005. It provides clear instructions on planning an ISMS project in organisations of all sizes across all sectors. BS ISO/IEC 27003:2010 does not include recommendations for carrying out information security activities; it only gives guidance on designing the ISMS implementation plan. Further ISO/IEC standards are available for ISMS implementation and project management.
How does it work?
BS ISO/IEC 27003:2010 sets standards for planning and designing an ISMS project, providing guidance on information security best practice. It helps you to define the scope of your ISMS needs within the structure of your business. BS ISO/IEC 27003:2010 also gives guidance on gaining management approval for implementation plans. Using these guidelines will provide an ISMS framework to deliver effective information security, giving stakeholders greater confidence in your risk management and data protection capabilities.
