The other ISO27k standards page has preliminary information on further ISO/IEC information security management system standards that are at the very earliest stages of development, before their numbers are even assigned.  The titles, scope and/or content of as-yet unpublished standards may well change prior to their publication, especially of course the early drafts.  Please do not rely on anything we say here: only the published standards are definitive. 

The information on this website has been gathered from ISO/IEC and similar official sources plus various unofficial sources such as newsletters from ISMS user groups, presentations by and private communications from members of various national standards bodies active on ISO27k business.  ISO27001security.com is NOT an official ISO/IEC organ.  We have no formal relationship with ISO/IEC.  We simply do our best to present an accurate and complete picture but we cannot totally guarantee the integrity of all the information we provide here. Please contact ISO, IEC or your national standards body (e.g. NIST/ANSI, BSI, Standards NZ) for “official” information.
