VeriSign, BSI Management Help Achieve IT Security Compliance

Nov 27, 2007 4:22 PM

           

Organizations aiming to achieve IT security compliance using the ISO 27002 International Standards Organization (ISO) controls for information security can now get there with help from VeriSign Inc., a provider of digital infrastructure for the networked world.

Through an alliance with BSI Management Systems, an international standards, testing, registration and certification organization, the VeriSign Global Security Consulting Services group can help prepare organizations to acquire an official ISO 27002 Certificate of Compliance, which is granted by BSI.

The ISO 27002 Certificate of Compliance allows an organization to demonstrate to customers and partners that it meets and maintains a high standard of information security. By engaging VeriSign's ISO 27002 assessment service, enterprises can successfully complete the compliance procedures necessary to be awarded the certificate of compliance by BSI. VeriSign's Global Security Consulting Services group can also help these organizations implement best practices that conform to the ISO standard.

These services are exclusive to clients that use the unique branded offerings provided by VeriSign's Global Security Consulting Services. VeriSign earned the exclusive role after passing BSI's arduous evaluation process, which scrutinized how VeriSign's consulting practice applies its detailed methodologies and expertise to assess enterprise security processes and policies.

"Companies and institutions face mounting pressure to demonstrate that they are doing all they can to secure information within their enterprise, and ISO 27002 Certificate of Compliance is unquestionably a powerful way to show that commitment," says Gary Pearsons, president of BSI Management Systems America Inc. "Because of VeriSign's disciplined methodologies and extensive security experience, we are excited to service VeriSign's Global Security Consulting Services and their clients through this important alliance."

"Though many organizations base their IT security efforts on the ISO 27002 standard, they lack the independent analysis that validates their compliance, and that can enhance confidence among customers and partners," says Todd Waskelis, vice president, Global Security Consulting, VeriSign Inc. "With this new exclusive alliance, these organizations can turn to VeriSign for the assessment necessary to earn the official ISO 27002 Certificate of Compliance from BSI. We look forward to working with BSI as we provide this vital service to enterprises around the globe."
