Best Practices Guide for the Compliance Lifecycle

Assess, Audit, Alert, and Remediate.

This white paper provides an overview of how organizations can assess their environment and controls, audit and alert on unapproved user activity, and develop remediation procedures. We discuss external regulations, the PCI initiative and internal policies that are driving companies to prepare for an IT compliance audit. Finally, we provide a framework in which to discuss the best practices for implementing a compliance solution to help eliminate stress during your next IT compliance audit.

The paper examines codified best practices, such as:

• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
• Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT®)
• International Standards Organization (ISO) 17799
• IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®)
