BS7799

The following information is a brief outline of the standard and how it applies to Fields Fields Click & Protect™  .

BS7799 Overview

The standard effectively comes in two parts:

  • BS7799-2:2002 is a standard specification for an Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). An ISMS is the means by which Senior Management monitor and control their security, minimising the residual business risk and ensuring that security continues to fulfil corporate, customer and legal requirements. It forms part of an organisation's internal control system.
  • ISO/IEC 17799:2005 is a standard code of practice and can be regarded as a comprehensive catalogue of good security practices.

The task of complying is mostly common sense but actually achieving the managemnt standard can be complex.

How does Fields Click & Protect™   help with compliance?

As part of the 7799 risk assessment and security policy, regularly checking systems that are visible to the Internet for software vulnerabilities and security holes will help with compliance. That could include any computer that has direct access to the Internet.

Before Fields Click & Protect™  , you could go to great lengths and a lot of expense to get a comparable service.
