IT Security Standard Certification

[BlueSpud]

Does anyone know of any well recognised industry standard for certification of IT security standards, for a small company of say 5 employees, without money to spend. ISO I believe is out of the question cos to takes oceans of time. I am looking for something more appropriate to scale. We have a few servers on our network and desktops.

Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification

It is the internationally recognised certification pursued for instance by staff of large American financial institutions, at least the one I used to work for.

Google for more info.

Had a look, it is just too big for our organization, we need something that will not take resources to manage.
