RIP FOR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS: HOME OFFICE RESPONSE TO UKCRYPTO

[Michael Bacon]

For the record, (computer) systems cannot comply with BS 7799, organisations
can.  Although "it's a start" it's a pretty poor one for such a high
value/high security requirement.  I would expect the (computer) system to
have a high CCITSE rating and for the surrounding controls at least to
follow the relevant ISO/IEC standards and technical reports (eg.
TR13335-4:2000).
