IT Auditing: An Adaptive System (Computers & Internet)
1 chapters   —   updated Aug 16, 2011 06:41pm
Description: Since the publication of “IT Auditing: An Adaptive Process”, audit standards and guidelines have been added or revised to establish a new baseline for performing assurance services. These pronouncements have made parts of my original edition incomplete. Thus, "IT Auditing: An Adaptive System" has additional detail information necessary to bridge this knowledge gap by updating all of the following chapters: Chapter 1 Planning Chapter 2 Study and Evaluation of Controls Chapter 3 Testing and Evaluating Chapter 4 Reporting Historically, ISACA’s audit standards and guidelines did not include statements addressing assurance follow-up mandatory requirements and practice recommendations. Therefore, in response to these changes, another chapter was written to accommodate the addition of ISACA’s standard and guideline regarding the follow-up process. This new chapter is consistent with generally accepted follow-up procedures as well as ISACA’s standards and guidelines.
IT Auditing: Assuring Information Assets Protection (Computers & Internet)
2 chapters   —   updated Apr 09, 2011 08:11am
Description: "IT Auditing: Assuring Information Assets Protection" provides a proven approach to assessing IT security frameworks, architectures, methods, and techniques. In terms of content, this publication converts selected audit standards and guidelines into practical applications using detailed examples and conceptual graphics. This publication also allows auditors and security professionals to understand various steps and processes required to adequately initiate, document, and compile information assets protection audit or review phases. Through this publication, auditors and security professionals will acquire an appreciation for the complexities associated with assuring information security programs.

“Information technology (IT) assets must be protected from external and internal activities detrimental to effective and efficient functionality.”
Robert E. Davis, Ensuring Information Assets Protection

“To competently perform rectifying security service, two critical incident response elements are necessary: information and organization.”
Robert E. Davis

“Laws continue to be enacted, and the regulatory environment has become more complex due to unacceptable conduct remediation. Consequently, entities continue to be compelled to demonstrate compliance with legal mandates through documented assurance assessments.”
Robert E. Davis, Assuring IT Legal Compliance

“Considering what is at stake politically, economically and technically for most organizations; usually justifying IT governance deployment based on one viewpoint narrows suitability and expected benefits.”
Robert E. Davis

“Laws continue to be enacted, and the regulatory environment has become more complex due to unacceptable conduct remediation. Consequently, entities continue to be compelled to demonstrate compliance with legal mandates through documented assurance assessments.”
Robert E. Davis, Assuring IT Legal Compliance

“Potential stakeholders usually rely upon governance elements prior to investing their time, talent, and/or money.”
Robert E. Davis, IT Auditing: Assuring Information Assets Protection

“Since knowledge and ideas are an important part of cultural heritage, social interaction and business transactions, they retain a special value for many societies. Logically, if the associated electronically formatted information is valued, preventive and detective measures are necessary to ensure minimum organizational impact from an IPR security breach.”
Robert E. Davis, IT Auditing: Assuring Information Assets Protection

“Developing and implementing IT governance design effectiveness and efficiency can be a multidirectional, interactive, iterative, and adaptive process.”
Robert E. Davis, IT Auditing: IT Governance
