ISO27001 in a Windows Environment: The best practice handbook for a Microsoft Windows environment

by Brian Honan

Overview

Most ISO27001 implementations will involve a Windows® environment at some level. The two approaches to security, however, mean that there is often a knowledge gap between those trying to implement ISO27001 and the IT specialists trying to put the necessary best practice controls in place while using Microsoft®’s technical controls. ISO27001 in a Windows® Environment bridges the gap and gives essential guidance to everyone involved in a Windows®-based ISO27001 project.
