Corporate Computer Consultants
(CCCL) has launched ITSecuritySurveys.com, a portal focussing
on IT security surveys across all industry sectors. The site
has been designed based on consultations with senior business
and IT managers, who have had difficulties in finding external
sources for IT security survey material. On the whole, CCCL
hopes ITSecuritySurveys.com will encourage greater dialogue
in understanding on how IT security issues align with overall
business considerations of organisations.
The portal is different from other survey sites, as it is information security practioners, who have carefully bought it to fruition. With industry experts managing the process the reliability and scope of the information on the site will be leading edge and carefully scrutinised. Ebby John, managing director of CCCL, explains his enthusiasm for the site. In my experience, CTOs, CIOs, and CSOs have expressed a keen interest in having access to a portal with the latest thinking and best practices in the industry based on research from reliable sources… ITSecuritySurveys.com does exactly that.
CCCL consultants also found that there is a general demand for an IT security surveys portal that is not being met. As a result, ITSecuritySurveys.com will be an invaluable resource to access important information about the health of the different sections of the security community.
With respect to the breadth of information, the portal will contain both free and premium content surveys. Therefore it is mutually beneficial for companies looking to raise awareness about security specific issues, and business and IT managers looking for information on everything from security testing to incident management suggestions.
In terms of functionalities, ITSecuritySurveys.com is a collaborative and interactive venture. Thought leaders in the industry are invited to post their surveys, making the site an important reference for senior mangers making strategic IT business decisions.
The site design is simple and easy to use, with a focus on convenience and accessibility. You can view the site at: www.itsecuritysurveys.com .
CCCL offers IT survey services as an extension of the site . The firm is a leading management consultancy established in 1997 and based in London, England. The company has built its reputation working with blue chip clients, primarily in the banking industry . The consultancy will be carrying out an industry wide survey on the IT security/information risk component of the Basel II Accord in the summer. Contributors will receive a free copy of the results amongst other benefits. We would like to hear from you if you are interested in this opportunity.
