/EINPresswire.com/ The ISO27002 Code of Practice is closely aligned with ISO27001 and the ISO/IEC 27002:2005 Standard. As a matter of fact, it serves as a practical guideline for all members of staff as they initiate, implement and maintain information security within their organisation. An understanding of the best practice guidance as outlined in ISO27002 is also essential to achieving the goals of COBIT.
COBIT is an IT governance control framework that helps organisations meet today’s business challenges in the areas of regulatory compliance, risk management and aligning IT strategy with organisational goals. Although information security is one of these goals, COBIT does not supply any guidance as to how to achieve this objective. This is provided by the ISO27002 Standard which draws on the experience of practitioners in over 40 countries to set out best practice for the delivery of an effective information security programme.
The ISO/IEC 27002 Code of Practice complements the implementation of COBIT by supplying a ‘how-to’ route map to information security. ISO/IEC 27002 is also related to ITIL. ITIL security management is based on ISO27002 best practice and its adoption in the ITIL Lifecycle provides the foundation for effective IT governance.
Managers of organisations that are adopting the COBIT IT governance framework and/or the ITIL Suite of service management best practice will benefit particularly from understanding the ISO/IEC 27002 guidelines and, therefore, should consider the Information Security Foundation based on ISO/IEC 27002 training course from IT Governance Ltd. The next sitting is on 23 February and delegates will save more than £130 if they book now (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3369).
The Information Security Foundation based on ISO/IEC 27002 training course is ideal for anyone who is new to information security, or who needs an understanding of information security controls as part of a broader information security or IT responsibility. The course is particularly suited for Information Security, IT Service Management, Data Protection Officers and all Heads of Department. Successful delegates will receive a recognised industry standard certification awarded by EXIN.
