BS ISO 27000 Series of Information Security Standards
Introduction
Information from the British Standards Institute has confirmed that BS ISO/IEC 27002:2005 has
been superseded by BS ISO/IEC 27002:2013. There are changes to the content of the standard.
BS ISO/IEC 27002:2013 (formerly BS ISO/IEC 27002:2005) is the international
standard for information security management and replaces BS ISO/IEC 27002:2005.
All information security requirements in the NHS Information Governance
toolkit are based on the standard. The ISO/IEC standard provides a useful reference
for those wishing to gain a greater understanding of the security controls, or those
who wish to become fully compliant with the standard.
BS ISO/IEC 27001:2013 replaces BS ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and is used to formulate an
Information Security Management System (ISMS) (that part of the overall management
system, based on a business risk approach, to establish, implement, operate, monitor,
review, maintain and improve information security) for those organisations wishing to
fully comply with the standard. Alternatively, it can be used as a mechanism by Trust
senior management to formulate a cyclic review of the implementation of IG toolkit
action planning.
Downloading copies of the standard
The BSI licence allows for one copy of the standard per NHS organisation. Only
NHS IG administrators are authorised to download a copy on behalf of the
organisation.
NHS IG Toolkit administrators should ensure they have logged on to the IGT web
site and click on the links below (it is not possible to download without being
logged on):
As you are not an NHS IG Toolkit Organisation Administrator you do not currently have
access to download these documents.
Please Note:
Some administrators have reported that when attempting to download the ISO
documents an empty window opens but the document can not be viewed. This is
probably due to network security settings established by local organisations.
To overcome this problem right click on the document hyperlink and choose 'Save
Target As...'. Then save the document with an appropriate name to a local
folder.
