ISO/IEC 27001, part of the growing ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, is an Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard published in October 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its full name is ISO/IEC 27001:2005 - Information technology -- Security techniques -- Information security management systems -- Requirements but it is commonly known as "ISO 27001".
All organizations today have to respond to a rapidly changing and increasingly threatening range of information security risks – risks which can, if unmitigated, lead to severe financial, regulatory and reputation damage for organizations. Information security investment and control decisions should be specifically driven by the outcome of a risk assessment process that identifies risks to specific information assets. 

Risk assessment is the core competence of information security management. This book provides clear, practical and comprehensive guidance on developing a risk management methodology that meets the requirements of ISO27001, the information security management standard, and how to carry out a risk assessment that will help achieve corporate risk management objectives.
