Abstract:
Within ITIL there is a module for IT Security Management (ITSM), so if
you’re an ITIL shop it would only make sense to implement ITSM wouldn’t
it? But wait a minute what if you’ve been planning on becoming ISO
27001 Certified/Registered wouldn’t that be a whole lot better
especially since its independent of IT, its specialized, its
certifiable. During my presentation we’re going to walk through these
two valuable programs and weigh the pros and cons, so that you can
decide. Central 1 Credit Union (formally CUCBC) became ISO 27001
certified in February 2008 and they also run a hybrid ITIL program. If
you’re pondering these questions and thinking about becoming on or the
other or both ISO 20000 and ISO 27001 certified you should attend. It’s
very possible that your organization can leverage the best of both
worlds and reap the management benefits by improving the governance
along with improved efficiency and effectiveness of your information
security program. There are also financial benefits as you improve the
quality of the program costs will drop. These improvements
will improve the transparency of your operation with regulators,
customers and partners who will ultimately look at your organization as
one that has taken the extra steps to safeguard their personal
information. Last but certainly not least this is a potential marketing
bonanza that front line staff can use in communications and branding or
cross branding.
