IT Governance Asia: Website Relaunch - New Books, New Standards, New Toolkits
IT Governance, the Asian one-stop shop for information security, ISO 27001, business continuity and IT governance is pleased to announce the relaunch of its new website: www.itgovernanceasia.com
November 28, 2011 /Security PR News/ -- The enhanced website offers an extended product portfolio within the best practice and compliance aspects of information security.
IT Governance recognises that information and Information Technology are at the heart of the modern economy - and at the heart of the modern organisation. The company sources, creates and delivers products to meet the real-world, evolving IT governance needs of today's organisations, directors, managers and practitioners.
The new website is the Indian one-stop shop for a wide range of electronic, downloadable IT governance information books, reports, guides, templates and tools.
IT Governance Asia focuses on the unique issues that affect India. Therefore, the customers of IT Governance, whether they are from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai or any other city across India, can find the best products and services on this newly relaunched website.
ISO 27001 - essential information security standard
Moreover, IT Governance provides solutions to help businesses in India meet the new data privacy law. The new regulations require any company that collects information within the country to ensure private data stays private. When outsourcing aspects of IT that touch data stores, companies need to be extra careful that the service providers they engage with follow these new rules of the law, and the exact policies of their shareholders and/or management. Not complying with this new Act can create a disruption and result in fines, damaged reputation and even loss of revenue.
ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security. The Indian Government recognises this standard as a requirement for any company in India that collects sensitive data:
"The body corporate or a person on its behalf who have implemented either IS/ISO/IEC 27001 standard or the codes of best practices for data protection as approved and notified under sub-rule (3) shall be deemed to have complied with reasonable security practices and procedures provided that such standard or the codes of best practices have been certified or audited on a regular basis by entities through independent auditor, duly approved by the Central Government."
Information Technology Act, April 2011
The Government also warns about audits that can be carried out on companies that tackle data collection:
"The appropriate Government may cause an audit to be conducted of the affairs of the service providers and authorised agents in the State at such intervals as deemed necessary by nominating such audit agencies.
(...) The audit of reasonable security practices and procedures shall be carried out by an auditor at least once a year or as and when the body corporate or a person on its behalf undertakes significant upgradation of its process and computer resource."
