BiSL®, Business Information Services Library, is het framework voor business informatiemanagement. Dit is de 2de druk van het boek met de beschrijving van het BiSL Framework. Het meest in het oog lopende verschil met de eerste druk is datde termen 'functioneel beheer' en 'informatiemanagement' in de titel zijn vervangen door één nieuwe term: 'business informatiemanagement'. De inhoud is verder niet in essentiëlezin gewijzigd; wel zijn onduidelijkheden en foutjes verbeterd en is er extra aandacht besteed aan consistente schrijfwijze van begrippen in de tekst en figuren.BiSL geeft invulling aan de processen en activiteiten die noodzakelijk zijn om de informatievoorziening vanuit de business, dat wil zeggen vanuit gebruikers- en bedrijfsoptiek te sturen. Het is een samenhangend framework, met aandacht voor zowel uitvoerende, sturende en richtinggevende processen, alsmede voor de onderlinge relaties.Deze pocketguide heeft als doel om inzicht te geven in het framework BiSL, te schetsen hoe business informatiemanagement in de praktijk wordt uigevoerd en hoe BiSL daarbij van nut kan zijn. Om dit zichtbaar te maken worden de processen van business informatiemanagement geschetst aan de hand van een case die door het hele boek heen loopt.

Information is the currency of the information age and in many cases is the most valuable asset possessed by an organisation. Information security management is the discipline that focuses on protecting and securing these assets against the threats of natural disasters, fraud and other criminal activity, user error and system failure. Effective information security can be defined as the ‘preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.’ This book describes the approach taken by many organisations to realise these objectives. It discusses how information security cannot be achieved through technological means alone, but should include factors such as the organisation’s approach to risk and pragmatic day-to-day business operations. This Management Guide provides an overview of the implementation of an Information Security Management System that conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and which uses controls derived from ISO/IEC 17799:2005. It covers the following: CertificationRiskDocumentation and Project Management issuesProcess approach and the PDCA cyclePreparation for an Audit
