Website

Today I updated several pages concerning the current status of various ISO27k standards development projects - nothing particularly significant. I am struggling to keep up with the work of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 Working Group 5. I'm not sure at the moment whether I am not receiving WG5 emails with updates, or not reading them properly and taking note of them. Either way, it is hard for me to keep track and update this site for the WG5 standards. Also today, I noticed a curious

Ever since migrating this website to Wix a month ago, I've been systematically checking and refining the content, updating broken links, correcting typos, reconsidering and refreshing the text. Last few days I've been giving our ISO27k FAQ the once-over, and today wrote-up a new FAQ on ISMS documentation. It was triggered by my reading naive advice elsewhere to "Document everything": I appreciate it's not meant literally but the emphasis is clear. Since the ISO/IEC 27001 co

Voting has commenced on the D raft I nternational S tandard ISO/IEC 27091 on AI privacy, with national standards bodies invited to vote and comment by Feb 25th 2026. I have updated the standard's page on this website , based on a brief skim-reading of the DIS, so far. I will update that page if I find the time to study the standard properly and reconsider my opinions. In summary, although I have concerns about the scope, focus and coverage of the standard, it does offer us

The D raft I nternational S tandard version of this forthcoming security and privacy standard on 'big data' has been released for national bodies to vote and comment before March 2026. Supplementing ISO's 'official' page about this standard , I have outlined the structure of the standard on its detailed info page on this website. If the DIS is approved by the voting members of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 without significant comments or objections, it may be published later in 2026

'Me' putting the plug in the sink I've been circling the plughole this morning, trying to figure out why 3 of the ISO27k standards detailed pages had different URL structures to the other 97. Specifically, the URLs for the pages on ISO/IEC 27000, 27001 and 27002 contained something like 'title- here'. Wix offers a function to define the 'URL slugs' for the pages constructed dynamically from the CMS content, using one or more fields from the CMS to generate the last part of t

That's Google Gemini's AI representation of 'me' supergluing a broken hyperlink back together. Having copied-and-pasted content from the old website into Wix, I discovered that Wix faithfully replicates any hyperlinks in the original, but doesn't routinely underline them ... which makes them essentially invisible unless/until we mouse over them on the live website, or unless our browsers automatically underline all hyperlinks for us. Mine doesn't. Furthermore, many of the

Given the astounding volume of financial investment driving innovation at breakneck speed, A rtificial I ntelligence is an impressive and yet still relatively rudimentary techology. In particular, today's gen erative AI services are capable of spouting content that reads quite well, giving the superficial appearance of intelligence and value. However, all is not as it seems. Barely beneath the surface lies the sloppy depths, the robots making stuff up to plug numerous gaps in

Made a few more tiny updates to the website this morning, mostly in the FAQ - rearranging some of the questions and answers, fiddling with the wording here and there, replicating the previous-up-next buttons from the top to the bottom of each FAQ section, tweaking generally. The rate of changes to this website is gradually decreasing as I tackle various snags and niggles that catch my beady eye (just the one - the beady one!), although that still leaves a few issues reported

I've added a basic Wix search function to the website, so visitors can hunt for information on the site using keywords or search phrases. Click the magnifying glass at the top of the screen to start searching, and type in the term you seek e.g. The "Top suggestions" are, I guess, what the Wix search function believes are the strongest, most relevant search results - probably the very pages you are looking for. The "Other Pages" are weaker matches. Click any of the results t

The automated DNS changes linking ISO2700security.com to the new-look Wix website were completed sooner than expected at last night, when I had knocked-off for the day to watch the 6 o'clock news on NZ TV. Straight away I spotted page layout issues on my smartphone and laptop that were not present on my usual desktop PC in the office ... but I was able to make a few tweaks right there on the couch without having to go back to work, thanks to online access to the web based s

Well, OK, the new-look website isn't perfect (yet) but it's plenty good enough to release to a desperately waiting world ... so this evening I have hit the big switch to initiate the DNS change-over. Thanks to the wonders of Wix, the DNS transfr is almost entirely automated, apart from my authorisation go-ahead to GoDaddy anyway. Nice to see someone has thought seriously about web security. Apparently the transfer will take "up to 48 hours" ... so over the next couple of day

The pilot feedback from friends and AI robots is proving useful: corrections and improvement suggestions are on the go and will continue indefinitely, hopefully tailing off in volume as the website gradually settles down. Already, it's proving a little quicker and easier to update the site on Wix than it was in NoF. I appreciate the new-look site design is minimalist, generic, a bit rough-n-ready, quite raw in places. So far, I've been focused on migrating the information c

The migrated website is nearly ready to release, so it's time to invite comments, criticisms and improvement suggestions from some trusted colleagues - donors, friends, gurus. I will email them a link to the pilot site, today. Depending on the feedback, I can hopefully complete the final tweaks and release the website to the waiting world next week, with some launch publicity. Meanwhile, I will continue indefinitely looking for and tackling inconsistencies, awkwardness, error

OK, it's 'done', for now anyway. So far, I have replicated the FAQ structure from the NoF version of the website with sections about the standards, implementation, documentaiton, risk management, assurance and maturity. I took the opportunity to meddle with the FAQ wording here and there, reduce duplication and simplify the content a little - plenty more to do on that score, later. Meanwhile, I plan to add a page or rolling banner or something to acknowledge our generous d

I'm about half way through migrating the extensive ISO27k FAQ into Wix CMS, and seriously reconsidering whether it's worth the effort. There's a lot of content here - useful, relevant, pragmatic content I hope but is the FAQ format appropriate? I'm not sure. Anyway, thanks to the CMS, I can dice, slice and present it differently in future if I choose, particularly if visitor feedback indicates the need. Meawhile, I updated the info page for ISO/IEC 27565 today, based on

Today I'm working on the ISO27k FAQ . We've had one on the website for many years, during which time it has steadily accumulated 'wisdom' (well, content at least!) though piecemeal additions and occasional restructuring. It has evolved. To be honest, it's a bit of a mess. It has lost its way and doesn't really serve its intended purpose. So, time for a re-think. Rather than simply cutting-and-pasting the FAQ into Wix, I'm taking the opportunity to review and update it, s

The solution to the Toolkit issue was simple: I needed to add a "file" field to the CMS collection, an option not immediately obvious ... until I scrolled down the list of field types, and there it was, hiding in plain sight. I'm not entirely happy with the layout of the ISO27k Toolkit page , yet, but at least the file downloads are working now. I'd like to add details such as the file last updated dates, plus sorting and filtering options for users, and icons for the differ

Recreating the ISO27k Toolkit page is proving tougher than I expected. I thought I could simply create a CMS collection to house the toolkit files, then a web page to display selected fields from the collection with download links for each item. Creating and populating the collection was easy enough, but at the moment I can't figure out how to create the web page of download links. A Wix 'repeater' lists items from the collection, but how do I add a download link for each

This is a working list, updated as items are progressed/completed and new ideas arise: Logical, clear site structure and menus for static and dynamic/CMS pages Colours, images, fonts, text size, bold, italics and all that jazz - gradually stabilising, standardising Clarity and accessibility for all visitors, including plain English - simplifying the language, especially for outlines & summaries, for various reading levels Desktop and mobile layouts Images, videos, multimedia

I have transferred the detailed information pages on nearly 100 ISO27k standards from the old website into the Wix C ontent M anagement S ystem, and made a start on structuring and formatting this website. Using a CMS makes it simpler to ensure consistency between the standards, and a little easier to maintain the information when things change - which happens roughly once a year per standard on average. There's still quite a bit of work remaining, though, such as ensuring
