Answers to Your Most Common Questions.

All ISO standards are created by a process managed by the International Standards Organization (ISO). However to say that the ISO writes them would be incorrect.

In reality, the ISO manages a process whereby member countries send representatives to propose and vote on additions and changes to the ISO27000 series of standards. Each member country maintains its own national standards organization which in turn constitutes teams of industry experts to represent their countries within the ISO.

ISMS stands for Information Security Management System, and is the set of standard policies, processes, procedures, and controls that define an entity's information security program.

While there is no single answer to this question there are a variety of factors that will influence how long the process takes:

• How many sites are deemed in scope?

• How many ongoing security controls are implemented?

• Are security controls implemented from an existing standard such as ISO27002?
