What is the ISO/IEC 27000 family of information security standards?
The ISO 27000 family of information security management standards is a series of mutually supporting information security standards that can be combined to provide a globally recognised framework for best-practice information security management.
The mainstay of the series is ISO 27001, which sets out the specification for an ISMS (information security management system).
The series is developed and published by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission).
