The history of the standardAdded by Papergrl
Description:
The origin of ISO/IEC 17799 goes back to the days of the UK Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI) Commercial Computer Security Centre (CCSC). Founded in May 1987, the CCSC had two major tasks. The first was to help vendors of IT security products by establishing a set of internationally recognised security evaluation criteria and an associated evaluation and certification scheme. This ultimately gave rise to the ITSEC and the establishment of the UK ITSEC Scheme. The second task was to help users by producing a code of good security practice and resulted in a "Users Code of Practice" that was published in 1989.
