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

Before the sun came up this morning, fueled by strong coffee and prompted by yet another lame social media thread about this, I've written a new FAQ concerning disclosure of the S tatement o f A pplicability. On LinkeDin, there's the usual confusing muddle of concerns and conflicting advice when someone asked whether a company can share its SoA, adding that (according to someone on Reddit last night [allegedly]) the [certification?] auditor said they "cannot share the SoA bec

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

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our donors, I am updating ISO27001security.com from N et O bjects F usion - an ancient , unsupported and decidedly flaky PC website authoring package - to the cloud, specifically a paid Wix subscription. NOF has served its purpose for decades but 'unsupported' implies 'unsecure'. In particular, I could not be sure of the site's availability as a Windows update could easily have rendered NOF completely unusable at any point. As it w
