Description

Security has moved from the arcane world of technology tools and protocols secretly managed by IT departments to everyday conversation in the corner office and boardroom. The threats to security today require a holistic approach driven by management in partnership with IT and employees across the enterprise. ISO security standards provide an actionable framework and set of disciplines recognized across the globe. Financial services institutions must carefully evaluate the effort required to meet ISO standards before deciding on adoption. Technology vendors and business process outsourcers can leverage ISO certification to assure customers that they always handle security effectively.
