It is a code of practice and detailed list of controls by which a reasonable level of information security can be attained in an organization.The contribution that can be made by Bsafe/Global Security is indicated already in the introductory pages of the standard.

6. Personnel Security
7. Physical and Environmental Security
8. Communications and Operations Management
