Abstract

Software companies which have been involved in a process improvement programme according to ISO/IEC 15504 have already performed some steps in order to implement ISO/IEC 27000 as an information security management framework. After analysing in depth the existing relations between ISO/IEC 15504-5 base practices and ISO/IEC 27002 security controls, in this paper the security controls covered by the ISO/IEC 15504-5 processes are described, the changes over these processes which would be necessary for the implementation of the controls are detailed and an ISO/IEC 15504 Security Extension that facilitates the implementation of both standards is presented.
