Abstract: Currently, ISO/IEC 27001:2005 is the formal specification standard for Information Security Management System (ISMS), against which organizations may seek certification. This International Standard adopts a process approach for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving an organization's ISMS. The Asset management main clause deals with information asset management, including classification and acceptable use. The objective of this control is to achieve and maintain appropriate protection of organization’s information assets. In today’s environment, organizations depend on sharing information and information classification is a key concept in the structuring and development of an effective ISMS: the classification given to a particular information asset can determine how it is to be protected, who is to have access to it, what networks it can run on etc.
