Financial services - Information security guidelines

ISO TR 13569:2005 provides guidelines on the development of an information security programme for institutions in the financial services industry. It includes discussion of the policies, organization and the structural, legal and regulatory components of such a programme. Considerations for the selection and implementation of security controls, and the elements required to manage information security risk within a modern financial services institution are discussed. Recommendations are given that are based on consideration of the institutions' business environment, practices and procedures. Included in this guidance is a discussion of legal and regulatory compliance issues, which should be considered in the design and implementation of the programme.
