What is BS7799?

BS7799 is the British Standard governing information security and management. It provides the industry approved model for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and addresses the CONFIDENTIALITY, INTEGRITY and AVAILABILITY of information within an organisation.


BS7799 (and its ISO 17799 counterpart) has rapidly become the worldwide standard for information security – helping organisations achieve compliance with ICT/IS-related legislation such as the Data Protection Act and Computer Misuse Act, as well as non ICT/IS-related legislation such as the Health & Safety Act. As well as improving business efficiency and competitive edge, BS7799 certification is soon to be a requirement for all organisations interacting with Government departments.


The standard was developed by Industry for Industry in response to growing security concerns and is formally published as:

ISO/IEC 17799 Part 1 Code of Practice for Information Security

BS7799-2:2002 Specification for Information Security Management
