Information security management: why standards are important

Abstract

Information security is no longer a domestic issue. In this age of electronic commerce, one company’s information security certainly affects their business partners. For this reason it became imperative that business partners demand an acceptable level of information security from one another. Information security management standards should certainly play a major role in this regard. In this paper, some information security management standards and their applicability will be discussed and put into context.
