Building A Sustainable IT Compliance Program

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.
