RE: ISO 27001 mapping to PCI

I'm not going to get into a debate with you on this - simply stating
that the preparation for audits is very different than the execution of
audits. For the record, my working for a vendor in this space has
nothing to do with my opinion. I spent nearly a decade with a Fortune
500, and used the same approach very effectively on the customer side.
There is sufficient overlap in the preparation stages for different
standards that it makes sense to tag atomic items (controls) if they are
included in multiple standards for reuse. This is really no different
than a platform like .NET making reusable services available to multiple
programs. Where the controls are identical, it makes no sense to do
them separately and at multiple times by multiple people simply because
they fall into different, higher-order standards.
Cheers.

Well you are marketing a product So I would expect Such a response.
The reality is that this approach is BS. Any organisation that I have
seen doing this Fails @ least one if not both.
Different systems have Separate requirements. You Can make an ISO
27001/2 ISMS for a PCI system -but it will not apply elsewhere and is
more work then Completing each one at a time.

Absolutely disagree with your comments, Craig. The initial question is
not about getting a single auditor to perform multiple assessments in
one step; it's about preparing for multiple, recurring audits in the
future by taking prose guidelines and standards and boiling them down to
a list of controls that can be checked for. These controls can then be
mapped to multiple standards to address each of the assessments when
audits are taking place.
This approach is highly cost effective for businesses and is also the
process used by any automated solution worth its salt (including the one
from nCircle). There is absolutely nothing wrong with leveraging
publicly available standards and mappings instead of re-inventing the
wheel in house. As a matter of fact it's a best practice, and mitre has
made fantastic progress in the Windows space with this kind of exercise
for their CCE project.

Except that ISO 27001 and PCI audits are not the same and can not be
completed by the same people at the same time.
Unless the ISO 27001 accreditation is scoped to "only" systems that
collect or process payment card data, then this is moot anyway.
This is looking at compliance the wrong way. It is a reverse of what
should be considered.

p1g,
I believe that the value of mapping these standards to each other allows
for the qualification of the organization against multiple standards
without requiring a duplication of efforts. Where standards match other
standard's requirements an organization can count those steps as well.
Measure twice, cut once.
Best,
Sean Swayze

I have several that map sp800-53 to Cobit to ISO 27001/27002, but
really need a mapping PCI to ISO 27001.
