Riassunto

A must have book for anyone who is looking to develop awareness and deeper insight into IT controls, strategies and techniques to solve compliance challenges!

What does ‘compliance’ mean to you? Is it a burden, a box-ticking exercise, or a way to avoid the penalties of non-compliance? Or do you see the opportunities it presents for your business?

In Compliance by Design, Chong Ee will show you how your organisation can benefit from becoming compliant with the relevant national and international standards. You will discover how integrating controls into your processes will improve your security, increase your productivity, save you time and money, and increase your profits.

Drawing on personal experience and using up-to-date, practical examples, the book considers the elements and principles of controls, and offers strategies to put them in place. It will show you how to:
implement changes that will improve your processes

allay fears and overcome resistance from your stakeholders

integrate controls into your everyday processes

achieve synergy from interconnected processes

assess your priorities and handle conflicting objectives

analyse and manage risks

establish a system of controls that is right for your business

manage your technology to make it work for you.
Moving away from traditional efforts
Traditional efforts in attaining or sustaining IT compliance employ an outside-looking-in approach, characterised by capturing varied compliance requirements and/or frameworks and applying these within the organisation. This book advocates an inside-looking-out approach, emphasising fundamental ideas of good control design as the basis for developing effective and sustainable IT compliance strategies.

Tools and techniques
Intended to arm you with the tools and techniques to put in place the right system of internal controls, the focus is on IT controls, but with plenty of references to business and entity controls, too.

L'autore:

Chong Ee did not start out being an IT auditor; he became one after donning the hats of an IT management consultant and a business analyst. Over time, Chong worked on both sides: external auditing and in-house compliance. In 2012, he returned to systems implementation for cloud apps after eight years in Sarbanes–Oxley compliance. He has spoken at conferences hosted by the MIS Training Institute (MISTI), Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE), and has had articles published in theInternal Auditor magazine and ISACA and Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) journals. His first book,Compliance by Design: IT Controls that Work, was published by IT Governance Publishing in September 2011. Chong is an active Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT).
