What should organizations consider when evaluating third-party providers for services? With
organizations evaluating resources and capabilities internally and out-sourcing services to third
parties, it is important to evaluate the possible impacts to data, security, personnel, and service
levels. The presentation will cover topics for consideration when using out-sourced services and
third-party providers and possible risks.

Course Description:
A good percentage of internal and external IT auditors’ scope relates to information security. The assurance
function must either place reliance on the management of the information function or perform extensive
substantive procedures to satisfy compliance requirements. Where reliance is placed, the auditor must
depend on their assertions and records of the information management function. A mature information
security function will translate into reduced fieldwork. The internal auditor also is responsible for evaluating
the effectiveness and efficiency of the information security function as part of their audit universe. ISO
31000 is the new standard (2009) for managing and assessing risk. But what is the risk associated with IT
security management itself?
An inadequate level of skill or competence in IT security management can lead to serious negative
consequences for the enterprise, including:
 Inability to comply with statutes and regulations, such as Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, FISMA, PCI
DSS, GLBA, Basel II, and governmental entities
 Lack of preparedness for security incidents and/or inability to execute a timely recovery
 Higher audit and insurance costs
During this course, we will discuss organizational security, best-in-class security management, objectives
and scope of an IT security management assessment, evaluation approaches, metrics for measuring risk
associated with IT security management’s performance, and reporting approaches for maximum impact with
senior management and stakeholders.
