Present the case for investment in security compliance auditing in terms that a finance function will accept.
Designing Security Compliance Audit Strategies for Systems
Move security compliance auditing from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
The documentation for security compliance auditing is accurate only until the next release. Technical debt in the practice within technology and systems delivery is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the technology and systems delivery discipline, in large organisations and small ones alike. Mature organisations treat security compliance auditing as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. They leave able to brief senior management on this part of technology and systems delivery in terms that support a decision. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the wider technology and systems delivery agenda hard in practice. This programme builds security compliance auditing from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The version of the practice within technology and systems delivery described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The final module sets out how progress on this part of technology and systems delivery will be evidenced six months later.
