Visualization of mapped security standards for analysis and use optimisation

Abstract

There are many security standards which the company can use. While security standards can differ in purpose and covered area, more than one standard can be used at the same time which leads to overlap and potential conflicts in requirements of different standards. In such cases, deep analysis of used standards has to be done to ensure optimal usage of company’s resources while implementing these security requirements. In this paper we analyze existing solutions for standard harmonization, describe concepts of adaptive mapping and present new ideas for visualization of mapped security standards. These ideas were integrated into developed tool to visualize mapped security standards.
