REPORT | Forrester Research Report
Description:
Building A Sustainable
IT
Compliance
Program
by
Marc Othersen of Forrester
CIOs and CISOs struggle with
IT audits.
Unknown compliance
requirements, an excessive number of
controls, and inconsistent testing results
are a few of the issues plaguing
IT leaders
today. To alleviate these issues,
IT
compliance
programs must structurally address their
ability to maintain an authoritative control
framework, identify and resolve control
deficiencies, measure and report control
effectiveness, and provide advisory services
for IT
controls. Developing an
IT
compliance
program based on these capabilities and
integrating it
within normal business and
IT operations
will provide a consistent approach to
sustaining
compliance.

computing and security experience in
positions of increasing responsibility and
