ISO/IEC 17799 is an information security standard published and most recently revised in 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission. It is entitled Information technology - Security techniques - Code of practice for information security management. The current standard is a revision of the version published in 2000, which was itself a word-for-word copy of the British Standard BS 7799-1:1999.

The 2005 version of the standard contains the following twelve main sections:
