It seems that every day another company is breached, and a new standard or framework is proposed to help us handle this cybersecurity crisis. What most companies realize, although the regulators don’t seem to, is that we’re already overwhelmed performing our day-to-day tasks; adding these additional compliance activities onto our workload simply doesn’t work, at least not for long and not that effectively. In this talk Dave will present an approach that allows you to quickly review a proposed or existing standard or framework, and provide a methodology for systematizing a consistent, reliable, repeatable approach to managing compliance, providing the ability to start automating activities where feasible, with a goal of freeing up time for you and the members of your organization who are responsible for contributing to or managing compliance activities.
