Questioning Information Security

Mike Barwise, a member of 7C Alliance’s Open Practice Technology Network and Group Manager of the Information Governance subgroup, is interested to hear from businesses who may have been seeking answers to questions like these:

1. What’s the most effective way to control staff use of social media at work?
2. How can we best manage corporate use of mobile devices?
3. I’ve heard about the recent implementation of £500,000 fines for leaking personal data. How can our organisation most effectively cover the risk?
4. What’s the best way to prevent corporate data loss?
5. Our organisation has a huge number of security policies. How can we rationalise and reduce this volume to something more manageable?
6. How can we be sure our security policies are working?
7. What’s the best way get the security message across to our staff?
8. How can we put a value on our business information?
9. How can our business keep up with constantly changing internet security threats?
10. How can we ensure the quality of our information security risk decisions?

Please contact Mike for answers to these questions, and more about information security, by email to mbarwise@intinfosec.com or by phone to 0845 463 1624
