+1 for the ISO27001/27002 and CIS CSC Top 20. ISO has a mapping/cross walk to any known security standard and 
regulation. With PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA, GDPR, NIST 800-171, FISMA, LEIN, you name it, our IT ops feel in constant 
remediation and adding to the risk register. ISO provides a common denominator that helps to focus on strategic 
objectives not just putting out fires.

We use ISO 27000 as our high level security strategy. We're using the 20 Critical Security Controls 
(https://www.cisecurity.org/controls/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisecurity.org%2Fcontrols%2F&data=02%7C01%7CVelislavPavlov%40ferris.edu%7Ca6529a1deb6c4c3bf10108d530e8085a%7C64b0362e85c04e95a4ce5651d96cb739%7C1%7C0%7C636468695502484993&sdata=fiJoy7jxjSdI5pdcCQ8AHlF26%2FtAuKrH9PmQfB3WfmM%3D&reserved=0>)
 as the operational plan for achieving the ISO control areas. I've attached a spreadsheet that maps the 20 controls to 
ISO 27000, NIST 800-53, and a whole bunch of other national and international standards. That spreadsheet and 2 others 
on the Critical Controls are at 
http://www.auditscripts.com/free-resources/critical-security-controls/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.auditscripts.com%2Ffree-resources%2Fcritical-security-controls%2F&data=02%7C01%7CVelislavPavlov%40ferris.edu%7Ca6529a1deb6c4c3bf10108d530e8085a%7C64b0362e85c04e95a4ce5651d96cb739%7C1%7C0%7C636468695502484993&sdata=Qd71awz56bPxLxZsO8LEnXDl2bASNh58Y39dqfUuaIg%3D&reserved=0>.

Fellow security minded colleagues,

With the vast list of security frameworks to choose from, ISO/IEC 27000, COBIT 5, NIST SP 800-53, ITIL to name a few,  
I have been tasked to find the best one to use for our institution.  I thought it might be a good idea to see what 
other institutions are using and why.

I leaning toward ISO/IEC 27000 series because of federal grants, and PCI requirements.  Thoughts?
