Hi Nabil

I include a quote of Martin Dion, a colleague of us who posted the
attached text in another forum:

[quote]
Good morning everybody,

I think the first questions you should ask yourself before going into
any direction from a standard perspective are: What is the business
need?  Then, do you need a baseline to conduct a gap analysis against?
Do you need a methodology that will support your objectives?  Are your
objectives defined?  How much information do you need to support your
initiative?  Are you readily well versed in security processes or your
need support documentation?

CoBIT is an IT Governance model that includes security in the various
objectives of IT.  It is big but it is flexible and very, very well
documented.

ISO 17799 is nice but high level, it does not include a lot of
underlying material to support somebody who starts into security such as
CoBIT has with KPI, Control Objectives and so on...

NIST, provide a suite of standard and guidelines to support specific
security initiative such has Policies, BCP, Awareness, Virus, and
Firewall...

PAS56 focus on business continuity only.

ITIL provide IT Service optimization type of material with little
security included, it mostly focus on service reliability, availability
and problem management based on Service Level Agreement. [Unquote]


I hope this can help you further.

Kind regards,

Rafael de Dios
Group IT Security Analyst

Fellows,

Can some one point me too some article(s), or summarize me the
difference between these IT Security Standards including BD 7799, ISF
Security Standard, ITIL and others. I read some where that BS 7799 is
less like a standard and more like security practices that enable one to
build and tailor a security standard for his/her particular
organization. On the other hand, ISF standard was prepared by taking BS
7799 into account. I plan to implement a standard this year for my org,
and I am in the process of comparing the available ones. Any help in
this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-Nabil.
