Program

The development of IT Governance, which recognizes the convergence between business and IT management, makes it essential for managers at all levels and in organizations of all sizes to understand how best to deal with information security risks.

International IT Governance explores new legislation, including the launch of ISO/IEC 27001, which makes a single, global standard of information security best practice available. Here are the contents of this book .

Expert, executive-level guidance to the implementation of information security management systems

• Deals with the implementation of an information security management system that conforms to the new international standard, ISO 27001 , which many US companies are adopting following its November 2005 launch
• ISO 27001 compliance is increasingly seen as part of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, is cheaper than SAS 70 audits and helps enterprises compete more effectively
• Comprehensive discussion of US and international compliance and regulation, with specific reference to the information security requirements of the regulations
• Of interest to executives, those dealing with regulatory compliance , IT auditors and information security managers
• Includes access to a dedicated website with management tools and downloadable templates

In order to trade internationally and meet government regulations, US corporations should ensure their information security practices comply with ISO 27001, the new international standard of information security. Targeting executives and managers as they tackle the ins and outs of the new standards, this is the first book of its kind.

This book provides North America-centric best practice that is more comprehensive than that contained in IT Governance: a Manager's Guide to Data Security and ISO27001/ISO27002 - 4th Edition (Soft Cover) , which is by the same authors and is the Open University's post-graduate information security textbook.
