description: Here, at last, is a book by a business manager who knows what makes a business work and why best practice information security is essential. Written in clear English, this book explains why so many organizations have already successfully registered to BS7799/ISO27001 and makes a crystal clear case for pursuing the standard that management in any organization anywhere in the world will accept. Information security is about more, so much more than compliance, security and survival - it's about sharpening your competitive edge for battle in the information economy. Alan Calder, the author of "IT a Manager's Guide to Data Protection and BS7799/ISO17799", led one of the first successful BS7799 certification efforts in the world. He also belongs to the committee of experts of a global certification body. This book sets out why ISO 27001 is the right answer to the information security challenge. In summary, this book provides all the information that you will need to assess the value to your organization of implementing an ISO27001 Information Security Management System and to create the business case for doing so.
