    Abstract: Understand ISO 38500: the standard for the corporate governance of IT ISO/IEC38500 is the international standard for the corporate governance of information and communication technology. The purpose of the standard is to create a framework to ensure that the Board is appropriately involved in the governance of the organisation's IT. The standard sets out guiding principles for directors on how to ensure the effective, efficient and acceptable use of IT within their company. This useful pocket guide provides an account of the scope and objectives of the standard. It outlines the standard's six core principles, sets out the three major tasks that the standard assigns to directors regarding IT, and explains the interrelationship between the two. The guide also offers advice on how to set up and implement the IT governance framework. Business benefits of ISO/IEC 38500 (ISO38500) include: Manage the organisation's investment in IT responsibly The pocket guide shows how the standard can be used to ensure that your decision making about IT investment remains clear and transparent, and that the associated risks are clearly understood. Meet compliance requirements ISO/IEC38500 requires directors to verify that their IT systems are in compliance with all applicable regulations. As this pocket guide explains, following the procedures set out in ISO/IEC38500 will help company directors both to achieve and demonstrate compliance. Improve the performance of the organisation On average, investment in IT represents more than 50 per cent of every organisation's annual capital investment. Both private and public sector organisations need to maintain a high standard of service while at the same time keeping costs low. The pocket guide looks at how following the guidance contained in ISO/IEC38500 can enable directors to retain a grip on costs and obtain better value for money from IT equipment. Introduce effective project governance This pocket guide describes how ISO/IEC38500 can help company directors to identify problems in an IT project at an early stage. In this way, the standard promotes effective management of the risks associated with major IT projects, enables the board to keep a grip on budgets and militates against project failure. Implement ISO38500, the international standard for corporate governance of IT An IT governance framework serves to close the gap between the importance of IT and the understanding of IT. For this reason, you can use an IT go...

    Abstract: Invaluable advice on information security in clear, accessible language! Are you making it too easy for online fraudsters to steal from your company? IT is opening up new opportunities for your business. It also offers rich pickings for the criminal. The new threat When legitimate business goes digital, organised crime cannot be far behind. So, once your business is connected to the Internet, you become vulnerable to a whole range of new threats. Hackers can break into your computer, using dictionary attacks or keystroke logging to seize the password to your email account. ; Criminals may send you emails in an attempt to trick you into downloading malicious software or to reveal your bank details. Online fraud may now be as valuable to organised crime as drug trafficking, and there are roughly 200,000 viruses, Trojans and worms circulating in cyberspace. All this means that in today's world, the bad guys are only a mouse-click away. What you can do Your business information is valuable, so it is in your interest to protect it. You also have a responsibility towards your customers. While information security breaches are costly in themselves, you also have to think about what exposing your customers to the danger of identity theft might do to your company's reputation. Sometimes these issues seem complex and bewildering. The good news is that you can take some simple steps that will help to secure your business's digital information. Common-sense precautions, like not leaving your laptop lying around in a public place, or protecting your wireless network with a firewall, make a real difference. Speaking your language If IT is not your speciality, and you are running a small business that is connected to the Internet, then this book is for you. The author steers clear of geek language, and offers you, in plain English, ten simple rules to keep you out of trouble online. The damage and losses that result from online fraud can run into thousands of pounds, so this could well be the most valuable books you ever buy! Benefits to business include: Retain customer confidence If you cannot protect your customer data, then you will leave it exposed to hackers and thieves. Breaches in your information security will not only alienate existing customers, but also scare other potential customers away. To protect the reputation of your company, you need to get up to speed on information security. Avoid fines and lawsuits If you are running a business, you ha...

    Abstract: Use ISO27001 to protect your organisation's information assets This helpful, handy ISO27001/ISO27002 pocket guide gives a useful overview of these two important information security standards. Read this pocket guide to learn about: The ISO/IEC 27000 Family of Information Security Standards Background to the Standards Certification process The ISMS and ISO27001 Overview of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Specification vs Code of Practice Documentation Records Management Responsibility Policy Scope Risk Assessment Implementation. Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability In order to ensure the availability, confidentiality and integrity of your business information, you will need to put in place an information security management system (ISMS). ISO27001 is the international standard that offers a framework for an ISMS. If your organisation's ISMS conforms to the specification of ISO27001, you can arrange for an independent audit of the ISMS against that specification and eventually achieve certification. Why does ISO27001/27002 matter? Improve efficiency - An ISO27001 compliant ISMS will enable your organisation to move beyond the ad hoc approach to information security. An unsystematic approach to the subject tends to mean that a lot of people's time is wasted ""putting out bush fires"": fixing bugs in software and reacting to incidents as they arise. However, the structured, coherent approach of the ISMS will make your organisation less likely to be crippled by minor setbacks and will, therefore, enable it to function more effectively Protect your information assets - Information assets face a wide range of threats, ranging from criminal activity, such as fraud, to user error or system failure. Putting in place an ISMS, will enable you to improve the level of information security within your organisation Manage risk - The systematic approach to information security required under ISO27001, means your organisation needs to put in place a risk treatment plan. Once you have identified the main threats to your business information, and the most likely ways in which they could do damage to your company, you can work out how best to eliminate or reduce these risks. In addition, there are some risks you can manage by ensuring they remain at an acceptable level Prepare for the worst - Supposing that, in spite of the precautions you had taken, your company did suffer a major security breach. If something like that happened, how well prepared would your company th...

    Abstract: An Introduction to IT Governance If you are unsure what IT governance is, or how it is relevant to your business, this pocket guide is for you. It outlines the key drivers for IT governance in the modern global economy, with particular reference to corporate governance requirements and the need for companies to protect their information assets. IT Governance for "Non-geeks" The guide examines the role of IT governance in the management of strategic and operational risk. It also looks at the most important considerations when setting up an IT governance framework, and introduces you to the Calder-Moir IT Governance Framework that the author helped to create. The approach throughout is resolutely non-geek, avoiding technical jargon and with the emphasis on business opportunities and needs. Find out about something that matters for your organisation's survival If you want your business to succeed, you have to make effective use of information technology. Otherwise you will be outpaced by your competitors. This pocket guide is about how to create a framework to ensure that your organisation's IT will support its overall objectives. Understand a crucial aspect of corporate governance Companies are regulated in order to protect the interests of shareholders from fraudulent or reckless activity on the part of the directors. For US-listed companies, compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 is mandatory.

Understand a crucial aspect of risk management Those running a company have a responsibility to manage risk. An IT governance framework will help you to stop hackers, fight cybercrime and minimise the disruption to your operations in the event of an accident. Cut costs and boost profits While businesses often need to spend money on upgrades to their computer systems and software, this issue has many pitfalls. This pocket guide shows how IT governance can help you to make better investment decisions. An IT governance framework also enhances your overall competitiveness and thus increases profitability.
