This article will concentrate on the technologies, systems and processes that businesses are deploying to ensure they meet compliance standards. What kind of strategies are they putting in place? Can compliance be achieved without any extra investment in kit?
- What are the approaches of the vendors, consultants and companies to compliance and how do they keep on top of the legislation?
- Are businesses appointing information and data compliance managers, for example?
- How is compliance being rolled into the overall information security strategy at leading companies?
- Is this just another headache for the overstretched CISO - how much help does he/she get/need?
- Are they actually being trained at all or is just lumped in.
- Where do companies go to get advice on compliance - have compliance specialists starred to appear?
- Is compliance an ongoing process or once you have built a “compliant” system, you can relax?
- What is the general level of knowledge on compliance? I'm looking for stats and opinions on how well-educated infosec professionals are when it comes to compliance knowledge.
- I'm looking for a high profile case study of how a business made itself complaint and what the driving factor behind it was - fear of prosecution, better ordered systems, etc
This article will be appearing in SC Magazine. SC features on specific technologies and trends are designed to inform IT security professionals about the state of the art in that area.
