Complete Guide to Security and Privacy Metrics: Measuring Regulatory Compliance, Operational Resilience, and ROI

Complete Guide to Security and Privacy Metrics: Measuring Regulatory Compliance, Operational Resilience, and ROI defines more than 900 ready to use security & privacy metrics that allow you to:

1. measure compliance (covers current legislation, regulations, and standards in the US, EC, and Canada including the US's Sarbanes-Oxley & HIPAA, and the Data Protection Act-UK)
2. resiliency
3. return on investment.
   

The author explains what needs to be measured, why and how to measure it. The author also explains how to tie security and privacy metrics to business goals and objectives.


The metrics covered in the book are scaled by information sensitivity, asset criticality, and risk. They are also aligned to correspond with different lateral and hierarchical functions within an organisation.

Complete Guide to Security and Privacy Metrics offers metrics which are flexible in terms of measurement boundaries. These metrics can be implemented no matter the circumstance.

Key Features:

• Provides a practical foundation for establishing an effective and efficient security metrics programme.
• Presents how to measure compliance with security and privacy laws and regulations.
• Covers the operational resilience of a system or network, pre-or post-deployment.
• Demonstrates how to measure the effectiveness of physical, personnel, or operational security.
• Discusses the return on investment for security investments.

While it has become increasingly apparent that individuals and organisations need a security metrics programme, it has been exceedingly difficult to define exactly what that means in a given situation. Finding the correct formula of metrics for a specific scenario calls for a clear concise guide. This guide fulfils that need, providing a clear concise guide to security metrics.
The text includes numerous examples and sample reports to illustrate the concepts demonstrated in the book.
