27000 & 27017 updates "soon-as"
Updates to both ISO/IEC 27000 and ISO/IEC 27017 have passed their votes at FDIS stage. 27000 (the overview and introduction to the ISO27k standards) received just a few minor comments and should be released very soon (which means within months, in ISO-land). 27017 (cloud security) received about 10 pages of comments - mostly minor grammatical corrections though, so it too remains on-track for release soon (hopefully this year).
