Product Description

DEVELOPING AN INFORMATION SECURITY PROGRAM THAT ADHERES TO THE PRINCIPLE OF SECURITY AS A BUSINESS ENABLER IS THE FIRST STEP IN AN ENTERPRISE’S EFFORT TO BUILD AN EFFECTIVE SECURITY PROGRAM. ORGANIZATIONS MUST CONTINUALLY EXPLORE AND ASSESS INFORMATION SECURITY RISKS TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS; DETERMINE WHAT POLICIES, STANDARDS, AND CONTROLS ARE WORTH IMPLEMENTING TO REDUCE THESE RISKS; (3) PROMOTE AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE STAFF; AND ASSESS COMPLIANCE AND CONTROL EFFECTIVENESS.
