Note
The official titles of all the ISO27k standards (apart from ISO 27799 Health informatics) start with Information technology Security
techniques which is derived from the name of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27, the committee responsible for the standards. However this is a
misnomer since, in reality, the ISO27k standards concern information security rather than IT security. Theres more to it than securing
computer systems, networks and data!
