Information Security Auditors Module (Part-1)

Information Security Auditors Module (Part-2)

Information security is gaining in importance in today’s corporate environment where a vast amount of information is being processed by organisations on a day to day basis. A well defined, objective, information security audit should form a part of every organization’s policy. Confidentiality, integrity and timely availability of information are critical, for implementing efficient business processes. An information security audit is one of the best ways to determine the security of an organization’s information. Information security is not just technology related security but much more than that, covering physical and environmental security, access controls, business continuity planning etc. A timely and comprehensive assesement of information security systems and policies within the organisation, helps in avoiding the cost and other associated damages of a future security incident. Even today, it is possible to find a number of organizations where a written security policy does not exist. When security practices are unwritten or informal, there is a greater risk of them being misinterpreted or ineffectively executed leading to a costly breach or security lapse which could have severe ramifications for an organization.

The Information Security Auditors Module has been developed for those involved with or interested to know about information security related issues in the financial markets.

The module consists of two parts: Information Security Auditors Module (Part-1) and Information Security Auditors Module (Part-2) of 2 hours duration each. On successfully clearing both the parts, a candidate would be provided with a 'Certified Information Security Auditor for Financial Markets' certification.

The module is being developed with the assistance of iSec Services Pvt. Ltd. (iSec), which is an information security consulting company providing information security compliance, assurance, audit, training etc.
