links BS7799/ISO17799

I bought it from BSI, but I believe you can buy it cheaper from ANSI.

Before you decide to buy look at the following documents:

Good highlevel explanation. From Sherbrooke, Québec, of all places.
https://www.callio.com/files/wp_iso_en.pdf
especially pages 4 to 15; the rest is fluff

Checklist based on BS7799, from SANS.
If you can make sense of this checklist alone,
you don't have to buy anything else.

Document NIST with history and good pointers to NIST documents

Note that these documents are for management;
they dont't resolve your technical problems
