Information Security and Multi-Compliance: Avoiding Audit Fatigue with a Single IT Compliance Strategy

Experienced managers typically do not want to be held accountable for situations where they have little control or influence. However, this is not an unusual scenario for information security managers. It happens every time they are held responsible for failed results of a compliance audit, even though they had tried to close decisively security implementation gaps that would have led to a more successful outcome.

This Prescriptive Guide provides nine steps that information security managers can use to break the compliance blame cycle and build an information security program that more effectively mitigates security risk. By successfully executing these steps, the information security manager will no longer continually react to and manage the audit preparation crisis du jour. Instead, the information security manager will institute and rely upon regular, defined activities to complete the heavy lifting of preparing for a successful audit long before the audit occurs.

Completing the nine steps requires business stakeholders, IT management, and information security management to all mutually support the same goal. This guide describes how to gain this alignment and defines the various compliance roles so that information security and compliance activities become integrated into daily business operations.
