Overview:
The Federal Information Security Management Act places obligations upon Federal agencies and their contractors, effected through National Institute of Standards and Technology standards and guidelines. FISMA compliance has, however, limited recognition beyond the Federal domain, whereas there is an increasing move in the private sector towards the international standard ISO/IEC 27001 ("Information security management systems - Requirements"), formally-certified conformity to which has widespread acknowledgement and international mutual recognition. This paper compares these two approaches to assuring an organisation's information security management practices and proposes steps to align the two models, yielding economies for those entities which stand to benefit from the fulfilling both sets of criteria.
