BS 7799:  from Code to Standard to Certificate
Pudima Madhvi
CIID/DTI



The British Standard for Information Security Management is now maturing
and a complete revision is due for publication. In 1993 it was Code of
Practice and in 1995 it became a full British Standard.  A certification
scheme, C:cure is in place and the first certicated information systems
are expected to be announced in the next tow months.   Pudima Madhvi of
the DTI will provide an update, discuss the scheme's future and react to
criticisms that the certification scheme may engender a false sense of
comfort
