Even the British and ISO standards are more reasonably priced. The NIST 800 Series of Special Publications are free downloads - and they are excellent documents. Now that work on the joint ASIS/BSI American BC standard is about to begin, we hope this effort will not result in us having to pay excessive charges once again.
