You will have an opportunity to learn how to apply this standard to address key requirements for regulations and standards including HIPAA, HITECH and the PCI DSS,” stated Paul Kennedy. ABOUT ISO/IEC 27000 - A GLOBAL INFORMATION SECURITY FRAMEWORK The ISO/IEC 27000 series includes information security standards published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This series provides best practice recommendations on information security management, risks and controls within the context of an overall Information Security Management System (ISMS). The ISO 27000 standards are applicable to organizations of all types, across industries, and sizes. If your organization is required to comply with regulations such as PCI-DSS, HITECH, HIPAA or other Federal or State requirements, please note that the ISO 27000 provides an exceptional framework to address security regulatory mandates. In this executive brief,
we will focus on the two standards that influence information security
initiatives worldwide – the ISO 27001 and 27002. These
standards cover requirements related to security techniques for
information technology as well as provide a model for establishing,
implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and
improving an ISMS. ALI PABRAI BIO Ali Pabrai, CISSP
