Implement an effective and compliant information security management system using IT governance best practice.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Faced with the compliance requirements of increasingly punitive information and privacy-related regulation, as well as the proliferation of complex threats to information security, there is an urgent need for organisations to adopt IT governance best practice.

IT Governance is a key international resource for managers in organisations of all sizes and across industries, dealing with the strategic and operational aspects of information security.

Now in its seventh edition, the bestselling IT Governance provides guidance for companies looking to protect and enhance their information security management systems (ISMS) and protect themselves against cyber threats. The new edition covers changes in global regulation, particularly GDPR, and updates to standards in the ISO/IEC 27000 family, BS 7799-3:2017 (information security risk management) plus the latest standards on auditing.

It also includes advice on the development and implementation of an ISMS that will meet the ISO 27001 specification and discusses how sector-specific standards can and should be factored in. With information on risk assessments, compliance, equipment and operations security, controls against malware, and asset management, IT Governance is the definitive guide to implementing an effective information security management and governance system.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

IT Governance by Steve Watkins and Alan Calder is praised for being a comprehensive guide to implementing ISO27001-level information security management. It is considered invaluable for providing detailed insights into the motivation and purpose of the necessary controls within an ISMS. Reviewers highlight its utility for ISMS lead implementers and as a reference for organisations pursuing third-party certification.
