IT certifications organisation the Information Systems Audit and Control 
Association (ISACA) today launched a guide designed to provide IT 
security chiefs with an independent framework to help manage their 
information security more effectively.

An Introduction to the Business Model for Information Security explains 
the new business model, which is independent of any particular 
technology.

The framework can be applied across all industries, countries and 
regulatory/legal systems, and covers information security, privacy,

Anderson, a member of ISACA's Security Management Committee.
