EnterpriseGRC Solutions Core Competencies include Strategy, ROI, Architecture, and Process - Providing Compliance Mapping as a Service

Governance and Compliance

Compliance is a universe of constraints enforcing business and technology practice aligned to minimally acceptable product, service and financial benchmarks, consumer and citizen safety, and continuous availability of critical resource as mandated by US and World Governments.  Considerations for HIPAA, the USA Patriot Act, Graham, FISMA/ eGovernment, OMB Circulars (various, such as A119 and A130), Executive Directives, DCIDs can't be limited to government, federal and financial programs. Businesses work in tandem, weaving regulatory issues via ecommerce, outsourcing and third party services, such that any law has implications for across multiple industries and business classifications. Laws like the ClingerCohen Act, the Paper Reduction Act, Basel I and II European Union privacy laws and Safe Harbor Principles California Security Breach Notice Law as well as emerging bills with similar guidelines SEC rule17a4, NARA regulations for federal records management, SEC CFR 17 Rule no. 16900 affecting Clearing Corporations, the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace and many associated Public Laws and Government guidelines (especially those affecting Security programs and implementation of appropriate standards such as various FIPS) are all a part of our audit universe. The EnterpriseGRC Solutions toolbox is a list of applications and industry tools, with special attention to the better companies and materials, as found most successfully implemented among our clients.

Strategy and Techniques  - Approach to Mapping Service, IT Regulation and Frameworks

A clear win to any IT Service organization can be found in providing mapped CobiT and ISO 27001 programs.  Aligning service delivery to regulatory driven compliance models enables immediate sustained client value.

The simplest possible view of controls mapping might include

  • Business Process - Service
  • Business Control Requirement - Regulation
  • Control Process – Control Framework Identifier
  • System Enablers – Technology policy
  • People Enablers – Business Policy
  • Standard and Frequency of Measure – Compliance Metrics
  • Compliance Reporting – Representation of Compliance

Providing Compliance Mapping as a Service

Common understanding of the goals for providing compliance services should include the following intentions:

  • To avoid breaches of any criminal or civil law, statutory, regulatory or contractual obligations and of any security requirements
  • To ensure compliance of systems with organizational security policies and standards
  • To maximize the effectiveness of and to minimize interference to/from the system audit process.[i]

COBIT supports IT governance by providing a framework to ensure that:

  • IT is aligned with the business
  • IT enables the business and maximizes benefits
  • IT resources are used responsibly
  • IT risks are managed appropriately [ii]

When considering the drivers that allow for use of IT consulting, risk of non-compliance with ISO 27001 makes a lot of sense.

Related risks of non-compliance with ISO 27001 include:

  • Risk of information disclosure, including related risks such as loss of confidence and trust
  • Incomplete risk assessment and, thus, an inadequate level of risk management
  • Inadequate business continuity management
  • Lack of security awareness within the organization
  • Inadequate security requirements when interacting with third-party organizations
  • Inadequate level of physical and logical security
  • Flawed procedures due to the lack of incident management
  • Inadequate security controls coverage in outsourcing/contractual arrangements
