AIG has an eBusiness Risk Solutions Group that offers a free (tho only to "qualified"applicants, whatever that denotes) online ISO 17799 based security assessment . The COO of that group, Ty Sagalow, says that "ISO 17799 is recognized as the standard used for underwriting"........... this can be found at the website www.aignetadvantage.com
