7 March 2011 – www.27001.com, the global market leader for distribution of the ISO27001 family of standards as well as ISO27001-related books and toolkits, has today announced the availability for immediate download of American adoptions of popular ISO27001 standards.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s only internationally-recognised cyber security management system standard against which an entity’s Information Security Management System can be independently audited and certified. Compliance to ISO27001 is the basis for meeting all other information security-related regulatory compliance requirements (such as FISMA, GLBA, HIPAA, PIPEDA, etc). ISO27001 is also closely allied with the Code of Practice ISO/IEC 27002 (formerly ISO/IEC17799).

International standards, developed through the international standards organisation, are usually then adopted by member countries of ISO. ANSI is the voice of the US standards and conformity assessment system. The institute oversees the creation and use of thousands of standards and guidelines that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector of US industry. ANSI is the official US representative to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The ANSI adoption of ISO27001 is keenly priced and is now available for immediate download here: http://www.27001.com/products/26. A specially-priced ‘kit’ that contains both ISO27001 and ISO27002 – which should always be used together – is available here:  http://www.27001.com/products/44.

“A growing number of US organisations – from the Federal Reserve Bank downwards – have been deploying ISO27001 to ensure that their cybersecurity defences are robust,” said IT Governance CEO, Alan Calder. “We are delighted that we can make the ANSI adoptions of these incredibly important standards available to our customers, and at such attractive prices!”
