New Pocket Guides Enable Rapid Mastery of IT Governance and U.S. and U.K. Regulatory Frameworks
To help UK and US companies meet the challenges of IT governance and the precise regulatory and legal requirements of local jurisdictions, IT Governance Limited has launched three new pocket guides that equip the reader with the essential facts required to take action. These books are the latest in the Practical IT Governance pocket guide series introduced by the leading infosecurity publisher earlier this year.
Ely, England (PRWEB (Related) ) July 6, 2007 -- The total reliance of today's businesses on technology, coupled with a climate of ever-growing regulation, has placed IT governance amongst the most pressing issues facing business leaders. Honouring this responsibility demands a clear grasp of IT governance principles and of the precise regulatory and legal requirements of the local jurisdiction. To help UK and US companies meet this challenge, IT Governance Limited has launched three new pocket guides that equip the reader with the essential facts required to take action. These books are the latest in the Practical IT Governance pocket guide series introduced by the leading infosecurity publisher earlier this year.
The IT Governance Pocket Guide provides a clear explanation of how information technology underpins businesses and sets out the requirements and benefits of an IT governance strategy. The book draws on the Calder-Moir IT Governance Framework to provide a 'joined up' account of IT governance that integrates controls right across the organisation. Over 52 pages, the guide addresses issues including Why IT Governance Matters, Strategic & Operational Risk Management and Symptoms of Inadequate IT Governance. Written by international security and governance authority Alan Calder, the book is priced at only £9.95/€14.79/US$19.92 and can be purchased from http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/890 (Related)
IT Regulatory Compliance in the UK is a helpful introduction to IT regulation and examines current compliance issues for organisations based in, operating in or supplying the United Kingdom. In concise and accessible language, it summarises the infosecurity implications of the Data Protection Act 1998, Freedom of Information Act 2000, FSA Rule Book and a host of other legislation and regulations. Written by Alan Calder, the book is priced at £9.95/€14.79/US$19.92 and can be purchased from http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/892 (Related)
The third addition to the series, IT Regulatory Compliance in North America, provides similar guidance to organisations based in or trading with the United States. It neatly summarises the IT governance demands of laws and regulations including Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA and CAN-SPAM Act. Again written by Alan Calder, the book is priced at £9.95/€14.79/US$19.92 and can be purchased from http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/891 (Related)
Hard copy and electronic versions of all three books are available for worldwide dispatch or immediate download from the IT Governance website.
Alan Calder said: "IT governance is a crucial matter for business leaders to master and these pocket guides provide a succinct overview of the most important topics. In easily digested form, they enable the reader to focus on the key issues relating to their business without needing to wade through reams of superfluous information. In combination with other titles in the series, these latest guides are essential compliance reading for any successful business operating in the UK or USA."
