The information security management standard (ISMS), ISO/IEC 27001, provides a significant implementation challenge for all organisations. A significant number of the controls to be applied will, of necessity, be technical and will relate to how IT hardware and software are set up and configured. As a result, there is often a gulf in understanding as to what is required between the ISO27001 ISMS project manager and those responsible for implementing the technical controls.
A step-by-step guide through the journey of implementing ISO27001
Implementing ISO27001 in a Windows®Environmentdoes an outstanding job of helping parties on both sides to bridge the gulf. It identifies the recommended technical controls of ISO27001's Annex A and, for a Microsoft environment, provides guidance on how (if, on the basis of a risk assessment, they are considered necessary) to implement them.

This book fills a major hole in the guidance literature for ISO27001 and makes a significant contribution to helping both project managers and IT and security staff get to grips with what controls are appropriate to mitigate identified risks. It is designed as a step-by-step guide through the journey of implementing ISO27001 in a Microsoft®Windows®environment.

"At first glimpse of Implementing ISO27001 in a Windows Environment I initially placed it in "another Windows Security book for dummies" category mentally. How wrong I was. Brian Honan took the necessary steps to place information in a context which was easy to run with in any environment and oddly, the knowledge placed in this book should make it easy to utilize this information in not just a Windows environment, but in any shop be it a Solaris, Linux or AIX shop".
