The Growing Imperative Need for Effective Information Security Governance
With monotonous regularity, headlines announce ever more spectacular failures of information security and mounting losses. The succession of corporate debacles and dramatic control failures in recent years underscores the necessity for information security to be tightly integrated into the fabric of every organization. The protection of an organization's most valuable asset information can no longer be relegated to low-level technical personnel, but must be considered an essential element of corporate governance that is critical to organizational success and survival.
Written by an industry expert, Information Security Governance is the first book-length treatment of this important topic, providing readers with a step-by-step approach to developing and managing an effective information security program. Beginning with a general overview of governance, the book covers:
The business case for information security
Defining roles and responsibilities
Developing strategic metrics
Determining information security outcomes
Setting security governance objectives
Establishing risk management objectives
Developing a cost-effective security strategy
A sample strategy development
The steps for implementing an effective strategy
Developing meaningful security program development metrics
Designing relevant information security management metrics
Defining incident management and response metrics
Complemented with action plans and sample policies that demonstrate to readers how to put these ideas into practice, Information Security Governance is indispensable reading for any professional who is involved in information security and assurance.

Free Information Security Governance: A Practical Development and Implementation Approach
While inevitably introducing related aspects such as general/corporate governance and management, information, risk and information security management, and IT security operations, the book's prime focus is firmly on the governance of information security. A rational process for determining the strategy and defining desirable outcomes and strategic objectives for information security runs like a center-line from start to finish.
This is an advanced management topic of direct concern to senior information security, risk management and related assurance professionals. Although unfortunately only CISOs or CIOs may be prepared to set aside the time needed to really study a book of this depth, it is equally valuable for all C-suite executive managers and board members with a genuine interest in aligning information security with other business objectives.
As with Krag's complementary book on security metrics (Information Security Management Metrics: A Definitive Guide to Effective Security Monitoring and Measurement), the depth of coverage is a little inconsistent with a couple of the chapters, including the conclusion, being surprisingly short. Chapter three on legal and regulatory requirements, for instance, is just over three pages long although compliance is undoubtedly an important governance issue and, unfortunately, a major strategic driver in this field. To be fair, most of the laws, regulations and standards are self-explanatory and there are hundreds, maybe thousands of them across the globe so there would be little point in going through them in detail here.
