The principal IEC and ISO standards for information technology security were recently released as a collection on a CD–ROM.

The IT Security Standards Collection provides the most important IT security standards, from evaluating and implementing to maintaining and managing information security.

This collection of ISO/IEC standards contains the full text and illustrations of the most important ISO/IEC standards in IT security, providing a complete practical reference.

“There is no doubt that the protection of our information in systems and over networks is a critical business issue that needs immediate and ongoing attention, says Ted Humphreys, convenor of a working group within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27. “Information has become one of the critical commodities in today’s fast moving e-biz world.”
