Very often these people were mandated by their senior management to implement the standard in order to provide the business with assurances that they were using recognised best practises to secure their information assets.

However these people suddenly faced a number of major challenges.;

• They had to first become familiar with the ISO 27001 Information Security Standard and understand how it works.
• Identify what controls were applicable to their organisation based on their risk assessment and resultant required controls.
• How to ensure that the controls that required technical configurations were being properly implement
• Last but not least how to do all the above in the most effective and cost efficient manner possible.

"Implementing ISO 27001 In a Microsoft Windows Environment" addresses those issues.  The book also focuses on how to leverage some of the existing Microsoft technology, such as Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Windows Vista and various other Microsoft security tools, that most organisations have employed. 

Feedback on the book has been positive with the first review stating “Overall the book accomplished exactly what the title eludes to and is a definite must have book for anyone from an Information Security Manager, to a Windows system administrator or infrastructure architect” and “I’ll definitely have this book on call in my information library.”

You can purchase the book from Amazon or directly from the IT Governance website.
