Présentation de l'éditeur

The book sets out guidance, learning points, best practices and critical success factors associated with managing the security risks associated with outsourcing and off-shoring of IT and business services. Business managers, CIOs, security managers, risk managers, auditors, procurement managers, legal advisers, consultants, as well as university students studying IT, information security or business studies This guide will be invaluable for those with no prior knowledge or qualifications. The book sets out guidance, learning points, best practices and critical success factors associated with managing the security risks associated with outsourcing and off-shoring of IT and business services. The content is presented in an accessible language and structured in a logical sequence reflecting the life-cycle of outsourcing, from inception through definition, selection, negotiation, implementation and ongoing management of outsourced services. Building on both practical, real-life experience of implementing and managing large scale outsourcing programmes, as well as recent research sponsored by the UK Government Cyber Security Knowledge Transfer Network, the author sets out a set of practical guidelines in plain business language that addresses the wide range of risks associated with outsourcing and off-shoring contracts. In particular, the book focuses on the critical softer management issues, such as strategy, risk assessment and relationship management, which ultimately determine the success of a major outsourcing programme. Business managers, CIOs, security managers, risk managers, auditors, procurement managers, legal advisers, consultants, as well as university students studying IT, information security or business studies will all find it a useful reference.

Revue de presse

The handbook every manager should read before they sign the contract. --Professor Paul Dorey, Royal Holloway University of London

A must-have comprehensive reference of essential standards, controls and legislation. The author, David Lacey, offers superb practical guidance based on a wealth of experience. --Geoff Harris, President of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)

This well-respected author takes a fresh perspective on the challenges of security. This 'stand-out' guide shows clearly what needs to be done. --Dr Alastair MacWillson, Global Managing Director, Accenture Technology Consulting

...industry guru David Lacey shares his knowledge with BSI Standards, and shows how to apply BS ISO/IEC 27001 and related standards, to build a safer outsourced project. He describes the book as a culmination of his "experience as a senior security and technology director, including two decades of practical experience in specifying and managing the security, governance and risk management requirements for large commercial contracts, including a few in excess of a billion pounds in value". --Manufacturing Computer Solutions

Surprisingly, there has been little published guidance on first specifying and then managing the security issues associated with outsourcing and offshoring. Until now, that is. A new book - Managing Security in Outsourced and Offshored Environments: How to Safeguard Intellectual Assets in a Virtual Business World aims to fill that void by setting out practical advice, methods and Best Practice for identifying and managing the security risks associated with the outsourcing and offshoring of IT or business services. --www.info4security.com
