ISO/IEC 27000 series (formerly 17799, BS 7799) - Information Security Management

The British Standard 7799 (BS7799) was originally a code of practice issued by the UK Government (Department of Trade and Industry - DTI) in 1993, then published as standard in 1995 by the British Standards Institution (BSi) and revised in 1999. When initially published as an ISO international standard in December 2000, BS7799 part 1 (BS7799-1) became ISO 17799, because a standard called ISO 7799 already existed.

In October 2005, British Standard BS 7799 part 2 (BS7799-2) was adopted by ISO, re-badged beggining the new 27000 international information security standard series, released as ISO/IEC 27001:2005 standard.

From 2001 to 2004, the ISO 17799 (BS7799-1) international standard went throught a major revision, culminating in the new version ISO/IEC 17799:2005 published in June 2005. In July 2007, the 17799:2005 standard was renumbered to 27002:2005 (by ISO/IEC 17799:2005/Cor.1:2007), integrating the new 27000 series.

ISO 27002 [BS7799-1]: code of practice for information security management. ISO/IEC 27002:2005 = ISO 17799:2005 = BS7799-1:2005. Recommendations (should) of information security controls.
ISO 27003 (expected for 2009): an ISMS implementation guide.
ISO 27004 (proposed): information security management measurement and metrics.
ISO 27005 [BS 7799-3], proposed: information security risk management. BS 7799-3:2006 - Risk Management Guidelines.
