Text and/or other creative content from this version of BS 7799 was copied or moved into ISO/IEC 27001 with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

StandardsDirect.org[edit]

I removed the link to a standards purchase site, standardsdirect.org. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#StandardsDirect.org for more about this site. As I see it, Wikipedia is not a directory and we're not here to help people sell things. Most of these standardsdirect.org links have been added by single purpose accounts who likely have a conflict of interest. See:

If an established, high-volume editor wants to add it back to the article, by all means go ahead. Otherwise, it stays out pending resolution at the spam discussion link above. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PROD[edit]

I deprodded it because the rationale was that "BS 7799" was no longer a valid standard, it had been withdrawn. As Ancient Egypt no longer exists either, but we have an article about it, means that current standards are not the only thing covered on Wikipedia. 76.66.194.212 (talk) 06:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need for article[edit]

not sure whether it actually needs a separate article or should just link to the history of ISO/IEC 27000-series or ISO/IEC 27001

BS7799 is important in many ways in developing the modern practice of Information Security and as the forerunner to ISO 17799 and subsequently the ISO 27000 series, its development is also quite interesting, as it came out of a UK government Code of Practice, and subsequently developed a theory around why that should be adopted.^[1]

BS7799 Part 1 became Became ISO 17799 then ISO27002:2007, Part 2 became ISO27001 and part 3 became ISO 27005:2018^[2] 208.127.199.21 (talk) 14:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
