BSO/ ISOs (International Standards) for professional accreditation

ISO27000 Cyber Security series

ISO27001 defines an ISMS as:

“…that part of the overall management system, based on a business risk approach, to establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and improve information security.“ (https://www.iso.org/isoiec-27001-information-security.html)

ISO27000 Security standards available via the university Library.

ASM Handbooks Online
The collection provides authoritative data on the properties, processing, and applications of metals and non-metallic engineering materials. The Handbooks have been key resources for materials engineering since 1923. From 1936 to 1990, the series was known as Metals Handbook. In 1991, the name changed to ASM Handbook. This database features the complete content of ASM Handbook volumes and ASM Desk Editions.
BSOL Standards Online
We have access to the ‘Unadopted ISO’ module: International Organization for Standardization is an independent membership organization and developer of voluntary International Standards. ISO has published International Standards covering industries from technology to food safety, agriculture, and healthcare. ISO also contains ISO pending adoption.
