(Source: Security Wire Digest)
How do your security management practices measure up to ISO17799
international standards? Find out with a free online tool offered
by this non-profit group. The Human Firewall Council, a non-profit
security awareness organization, has created the industry's first
free online tool for benchmarking security management best practices.
The Security Management Index takes participants through
a series of questions covering the nine major sections of ISO17799.
At the end of the survey, each participant receives a score that
shows how their security practices measure up. Results are completely
confidential. The Security Management Index is sponsored by industry
leaders such as British Standards Institute, PentaSafe, Sun Microsystems,
ISSA, QinetiQ and InfoWorld. For more information, visit www.humanfirewall.org
