This is a bit of a specialist book that focussed on data security issues and ISO27001/2, all under the heading of IT governance. Now in its sixth revision, this updated book still continues to provide timely, informative counsel to those who are looking to establish best practice guidelines in this challenging, changing area.
Clearly this book cannot focus on legislation from every country in the world, yet it does look at many key international markets and provides advice on compliance within key information security responsibilities. This is not a practical guide to securing your server or network in that sense, yet it will give you sufficient advice to develop and operate a manageable policy that, in turn, will work through practical cases and structures to secure your systems and stored data. Capable advice about developing information security policies and underlying risk assessment procedures is given in a clear, unambiguous and overtly jargon-free manner. Even often overlooked areas such as human resources security and asset management are discussed.
In many ways this is a book of doom, full of things you’d rather not happen and its advice will help you strategize and implement a delivered solution that will hopefully reduce or mitigate the risk. With IT there is never a true risk-free solution, but as much advanced planning and focussed on-going strategic operation as possible will be a wise investment. Then, should you suspect the worst to happen, you may be in a better position to respond and reduce the damage.
As you may expect, this book is crammed full of information and thus the extensive, comprehensive index is welcomed. This is not a book for everyone, but for those who need this kind of information it will be an indispensible aid. Many others may get a passing benefit from a chapter or two and it could be one of those best-shared books within a company. You might want to get your own copy though, as it can become a regularly consulted companion.
