This presentation will cover the relationship between ISO/IEC 20000 and ISO/IEC 27001 (and BS 25999) and will develop the premise that an ISO/IEC 27001 implementation greatly benefits from an IT Service Management approach to securing information. Senior management (CFO, CEO) buy-in is increased when they see that cost effectiveness and reliability of service are a priority and that benefits can be achieved without breaking the bank.

The audience will be introduced to ISO/IEC 20000 and learn the major benefits of ISO/IEC 20000 and how it applies to their business. It will also cover the role of Service Management Processes and how ITIL facilitates ISO 20000 implementation and helps to meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 20000 as well as the process requirements of ISO/IEC 27001.
