It is well known that ISO 17799 has been renamed to ISO 27002. This was confirmed by the appropriate ISO Technical Committee some weeks ago.
A number of people questioned the need for this, and have asked why this couldn't wait until the next upgrade of the standard. Nonetheless, it went ahead, and we waited for the renamed copy to be made available.
Here is the crux though: ISO have now made this available... BUT.... it is simply ISO 17799:2005 with a single accompanying PDF sheet stating "Replace '17799' with '27002'". Seriously, that is it!
So the warning is that if you already have a copy of ISO 17799:2005 and were thinking of buying another copy to replace it, don't, unless the situation changes (and it may not).
If you don't have a copy of ISO 17799:2005 and were thinking of buying a copy of ISO 27002, go for ISO 17799:2005 instead if you can find that cheaper than ISO offer it for (and you can), unless the situation changes (and it may not).
We will continue to monitor the situation and will immediately post any changes which we identify.
