When we discuss about Information Security Standards under ISO, the first thing that comes to mind is ISO 27001 – which is the specification for an Information Security Management System.
However, apart from ISO 27001 (which is a standard under which certificate can be obtained), there are many other initiatives under ISO standards covering IT Security – some are published standards, while some are work in progress.
Here is a brief listing of some such standards:
