Re: ISO 17799

[Kelly Martin <kel () securityfocus com>]

We just launched a BS 7799/ISO 17799 mailing list a few weeks ago. You 
may wish to signup for that list to get more specific ISO 17799 
information. Details are on the SecurityFocus website, including the 
charter and signup instructions.

There are almost a thousand people subscribed to that list, just in the 
past few weeks.

Best regards,
