Multiple Independent Levels of Security/Safety (MILS) is a high-assurance security architecture based on the concepts of separation [1] and controlled information flow. It is implemented by separation mechanisms that support both untrusted and trustworthy components; ensuring that the total security solution is non-bypassable, evaluatable, always invoked, and tamperproof.
ISO/IEC 27001:2005 is designed to ensure the selection of adequate and proportionate security controls that protect information assets and give confidence to interested parties." A basic concept of security management is information security. The primary goal of information security is to control access to information.
