IS / IT Review

The Facts

Your Key Concern

As a senior manager, IT manager or Head of Internal Audit you are finding it difficult to identify an organisation with the relevant experience / knowledge to undertake reviews on your behalf. The types of reviews you require are:

• A specific area of IT service activity where you have concerns e.g. Project Implementations;
• Complete an independent review of a specific area e.g. Data Protection compliance; or
• Undertake a programme of activity for the organisation e.g. an audit plan.

An Example Situation

The management board of the organisation is considering the adoption of the British Standard for Information Security Management (BS7799). However, it is unclear whether the current methods of operation are in-line with the approved standard. You have been allocated the responsibility to identify a suitable supplier to undertake a gap analysis of current practices and that identified in the approved standard. Additionally you need the supplier to provide you with a practical action plan, based on prioritises, for dealing with any shortfalls that may exist.
