New U.S. Website One-Stop-Shop for Best in I.T. Security and Governance

(June 04, 2007)-- US companies seeking the knowledge, tools and advice to help them adopt best practice IT governance and information security have a new dedicated resource to turn to. A new website, www.27001.com, has been launched as a one-stop-shop for all the key ISO27001/ISO17799 standards, books and tools currently available and is deliberately tailored to the needs of the United States.

www.27001.com is the latest innovation from IT Governance Limited, a leading global evangelist for best practice infosecurity and governance. The company sources, creates and delivers products and services to meet the real world, evolving IT governance needs of today's organizations, directors, managers and practitioners.

ISO27001 is the new, international standard of information security best practice. It provides the blueprints for private and public sector organizations to build an effective information security management system ('ISMS').

Through www.27001.com organizations can find out how an ISO27001 ISMS works with ISO17799 to help them meet their business needs for cost-effective information security, while at the same time meeting their information-related regulatory compliance objectives and preparing them for new and emerging regulations. US regulatory requirements currently addressed by the site include HIPAA, GLBA, SB 1386 and other State breach laws, PIPEDA, FISMA and EU Safe Harbor regulations.

Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance and an international authority on ISO 27001, commented: "Information, information technology and information security are ALWAYS business issues, not just IT ones. Top management is accountable for the organization's information technology strategy and deployment, and therefore needs the knowledge and tools to govern this effectively.

"www.27001.com is the Neiman Marcus of IT governance and security. It showcases the very best products and services currently available, including works by the most respected industry thinkers as well as uniquely focused products developed by us. Whether you need C-Suite guides to the regulatory landscape, or highly practical guides for project managers, it is all available in a single place."
