ISRRME V2 is the newly updated version of this leading information security resource, containing over 70 pre-written security documents that organizations can use to document their security infrastructure. This new version has information security job descriptions, mission statements and reporting relationships updated to cover the latest security topics. "We are delighted to release version 2 of this leading information security resource," said David Lineman, president and CEO of Information Shield. "Information Security Roles and Responsibilities Made Easy is the only product available that allows companies to quickly and effectively document the security responsibilities of various departments and people. Customers concerned with governance issues such as Sarbanes-Oxley are discovering that it is critical to document who is responsible for information security in their organization." "Studies show that two-thirds of the total cost of ownership for information systems is for labor, not for technology," said the author Charles Cresson Wood. "In order to properly manage this investment in people, organizations need to be crystal clear about information security roles and responsibilities." Involved in the information security field as a consultant since 1979, Wood has done consulting for over 100 different organizations around the world. "At many organizations, management is waiting for technical staff to suggest clear information security roles and responsibilities, but technical staff is convinced this is a management duty. This catch-22 can be quickly overcome with these already-written documents." Information Security Roles and Responsibilities Made Easy contains over 70 pre-written information security job descriptions, organizational mission statements, and reporting relationships. In addition to time-saving documents, ISRRME provides valuable on information security staffing, outsourcing the security function, and dealing with workers in positions of trust. Information Security Roles and Responsibilities Made Easy comes in hardcopy as well as CD-ROM format, and includes an organization-wide license to republish the material inside one organization. Along with its companion book, Information Security Policies Made Easy, these guides provide the best way for organizations to rapidly and economically document their critical information security functions and to demonstrate compliance with the standard of due care.
