IT Security Risk Control Management

IT Security Risk Control Management provides step-by-step guidance for IT professionals on how to craft a successful security program. Readers will identify with the paradoxes of information security and discover handy tools that hook security controls into business processes, including:

• Building a security program that will fit neatly into an organization and change dynamically to suit both the needs of the organization and survive constant changing threats
  
• Preparing for and passing such common audits as PCI-DSS, SSAE-16, and ISO 27001.
  
• Calibrating the scope, and customizing security controls to fit into an organization’s culture.
  
• Implementing the most challenging processes, pointing out common pitfalls and distractions.
  
• Framing security and risk issues to be clear and actionable so that decision makers, technical personnel, and users will listen and value your advice.

“Pompon provides step-by-step guidance for successfully establishing a security management system for an organization’s IT systems. … The introduction provides a good road map to the book, and each chapter finishes with a list of further readings. There is a good index and a very thorough table of contents. … This is a good, step-by-step approach to building a security program that should protect an organization’s IT systems and, importantly, also be able to demonstrate that protection to an auditor.” (David B. Henderson, Computing Reviews, April, 2017)
