REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

|
on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation)
|
|
Well if you handle personal data this new harmonisation legislation is going to impact your business. Don’t get too excited when you read this as you also need to read the working party recommendations. But Section 4 Data Protection Officer is a good place to jump into!

Information Security Management is about identifying, mitigating and managing risks that are relevant for the information assets within the business.
|
|
Based on work with the European Network Information Security Agency (ENISA) the IAAITC has now developed an Information Security Framework (ISF) to provide small and medium businesses (less than 500 employees) with a simple, efficient and inexpensive approach to identifying and managing their information security risks and complying with the EU Data Protection Legislation (UK Data Protection Act 1998.).
Working with partner organisations the IAAITC has now developed two sector specific solutions one for Accountants and another for Lawyers. The resulting simplified approach is based on OCTAVE1 principles, attributes, and outputs and is tailored to the typical business environments and needs of those professions. This approach is also compatible with other existing standards, like for example ISO 27001, and can be used to support implementation of those standards.

“It won’t happen to me.”
…I’m a Professional.
|
|
Of course it won’t. It won’t happen to me either. In fact we could all say the same thing, ‘It won’t happen to me.’ But if we all said that, then it would never happen to anyone. And if it never happens to anyone how come ………

Every week we hear or read about yet another data loss. It might be a Local Authority, or charity, estate agents, accountants, solicitors, barristers, bank, mobile phone or insurance company. Most of us probably think that it will not happen to me when the reality of course is that our personal data is probably already being sold somewhere by someone.
But when it comes to our businesses can we really be that confident that our staff, colleagues, and suppliers will really treat our personal data with the respect that it deserves.
There are lots of really comprehensive books already out there about Information Security, but they are not exactly a “good read” are they? Not the sort of thing a lawyer, accountant, doctor, social worker, secretary i.e. your staff would pick up and read.
That is why we persuaded a real author Jim Green to write a book about Information Security for us. Jim writes crime stories so as you might guess the book is not your normal tome on this subject. But then it is meant to make it interesting, the sort of book that every member of your staff could read and understand.
