The word ISO was driven from a Greek word "ISOS" which means equal. The International Standard
Organization (ISO) is an international body that has developed a number of "common or equal"
standards for different types of business. Examples of standards for the IT industry are: ISO27001
for Information Security Management and ISO20000 for IT Service Management.
ISO 27001 is an auditable standard that demonstrates the seriousness and commitment of an
organization to the protection and security of information assets. The standard provides a frame-
work for Information Security Management through the implementation of an Information
Security Management System (ISMS) .
