The FAST Standard

FAST supports organisations to reach and maintain the FAST Standard for Software Compliance (FSSC–1:2007), which was developed in collaboration with the British Standards Institute (BSI).

The FAST Standard also addresses a significant proportion of the requirements of ISO/IEC 19770-1 the International Standard for Software Asset Management. The Federation Against Software Theft Investors in Software (FAST IiS), which aims to combat software piracy, endorses the Standard.

FAST supports the aims of FAST IiS to advise and help UK organisations on the issue of software compliance and to promote the legal use of software. We are the only organisation to have been awarded the FAST IiS mandate.
