This Information Security Handbook provides a broad overview of information
security program elements to assist managers in understanding how to
establish and implement an information security program. 
 
The purpose of this publication is to inform members of the information
security management team [agency heads, chief 

information officers (CIO), senior agency information security officers
(SAISO), and security managers] about various aspects of information
security that they will be expected to implement and oversee in their
respective organizations. This handbook summarizes and augments a number of
existing National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard and
guidance documents and provides additional information on related topics. 
 
NIST requests public comments on the draft until August 07, 2006; comments
may be sent to handbk-100@nist.gov.
