Whilst these controls are important, the concept of 10 key controls has been
abandoned in the 1999 revision of BS7799. The new standard is described in fair
detail in an excellent free publication from the DTI, which although aimed at
the commercial sector has in my view applicability across the whole of the
infrastructure. The title is "Information Security Assurance Guidelines", and
it's available from

I warmly recommend it for bedtime reading!
