IT governance, risk management and compliance remain the most challenging organizational disciplines to understand, implement and maintain. Few businesses have the internal resources and visibility required to formulate clear processes and policies around governance risk and compliance. Organizations considering moving IT assets or applications face a bewildering array of compliance and governance options and certifications. Organisations commonly ask themselves these questions when developing their own compliance roadmap and strategy.  The option to choose from a selection of security assessments that assess the security landscape. A poor focus on processes and policies affects your ability. Achieve and maintain compliance standards in line with your industry or country requirements. Effectively budget and spend on controls that may not be relevant. Enforce security policy. Manage security to industry standards such as ISO 27000. Measure and report on risk posture and security governance status. Share metrics with the business to align IT security with the rest of your organization. Standardize to best practice standards across systems and locations.

Technology life cycle management assessment—this engagement will give you complete understanding of, and visibility into, the security health of your networking environment. The key to successfully navigating the compliance waters is to determine which of the many available certifications are relevant to your business and which add more cost and complexity to your business than they’re worth. Given that each of the common compliance standards is accompanied by significant costs, correctly identifying the requirements from your internal stakeholders and clients is a critical initial step when developing your compliance strategy. Control objectives provide high level goals that organizations try to achieve using policies, procedures, and systems. Control procedures and activities are the actual policies and procedures that are put in place to achieve the objectives. Best practice standards define control objectives, goals or methods that work across many organizations and allow which ones to use and how to implement them. Prescriptive standards provide detailed control requirements that need to be met exactly as outlined in order to meet the standard.

Attestation Versus Certification

Gain the benefits of increased efficiencies and measurable results. Better communication with all stakeholders in metric—based business language. Faster, cheaper and better regulatory audits and risk assessments. Fewer resources required to collect and analyze data. Focused technology spend—you can apply the right controls to the right systems.Attestation is the result of an audit conducted to measure compliance with control objectives set by an organization. The auditor measures whether the control objectives are met by the control procedures in place. The auditor attests to the organizations ability to meet its own standards but does not determine whether the standards are valid. In this case, because there are no prescriptive standards, there’s no easy way to compare organizations simply by establishing whether an attestation standard has been completed. Certification is the result of an audit conducted to measure compliance with prescriptive standards. The auditor can explicitly certify whether those standards have been met. From a buyer’s perspective, these standards can be used to directly compare service providers given that the standards for each organization are the same.
