ATLANTA, April 10 - After a thorough selection process, eFortresses, Inc. is proud to announce the selection of BSI Management Systems, to perform independent certification audits on its clients, in line with the requirements for achieving ISO 27001 certification, for proactive Information Security Management. BSI's Americas Headquarters is in Reston, VA with the Global Headquarters in London, England.

At a critical time when companies on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond are struggling to meet regulatory compliance requirements pertaining to the protection of Information Assets, stipulated by Government as well as Cross- Industry regulations such as HIPAA, GLB Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Visa CISP/PCI, FACT Act, California SB-1386, Basel II, UK Data Protection Act, EU Data Protection Directive and NIST 800-53 (FIPS 200) achieving ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certification is a very practical way to proactively demonstrate compliance to regulators, customers, business partners and share holders.

ISO 27001 certification was recently derived from the internationally accepted Information Security Management code of practice - ISO/IEC 17799:2005, which is the most comprehensive framework available for the Management of Information Security.
