Note
The official titles of most current ISO27k standards start with “Information technology — Security techniques —” reflecting the original name of
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27, the committee responsible for the standards. However this is a misnomer since, in reality, the ISO27k standards concern
information security rather than IT security. The committee adopted a new name in 2019 “Information security, cybersecurity and privacy
protection”, so expect to see the new name appear in due course.
