Wiley Publishing has added IT compliance to the Dummies series, in this case a pocket guide to help with an IT audits for regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley. Titled "IT Compliance For Dummies," and penned by some folks at Active Reasoning the booklet directs readers in general fashion how to develop a compliance strategy, how to plan ahead, develop controls, automate processes, validate controls, leverage compliance for other IT practices, and make compliance sustainable. The guide also cites many of the common material deficiencies found during Sarbanes-Oxley audits. For instance, did you know that not performing self-assessments is "like putting off cleaning out the refrigerator—the longer you wait, the more you create messy work for yourself." I wondered what that smell was coming from the archives! In all seriousness, the booklet is a swift, high-level read that could help simplify the way you approach a long-term compliance program. It's not a detailed how-to journal and it focuses heavily on Active Reasoning's slice of the market, change management, but the 30 minutes it takes to cover this guide, it might be worth being a dummy. You know what else might be worth a little added focus? How about your e-mail archiving practices. According to a survey from The ePolicy Institute last year about 21 percent of employers have had employee e-mails and instant messages subpoenaed for a lawsuit or regulatory investigation. And 13 percent have been slapped with workplace lawsuits triggered by employee e-mail. Not surprising, vendors continue to see opportunity in this desperate state of affairs, and some markets are seeing a resurgence as a result. Plasmon, the developer of Ultra Density Optical (UDO) storage, brought together a group of vendors around its optical disk technology to sell integrated bundles that include the UDO drives, e-mail archiving software, security and storage management. By the same token, the content management market is seeing increased spending due to regulatory requirements and the need to manage all the unstructured data that wanders happily around corporate servers with no version control. And if you are still scratching you head about the best way to satisfy the physical-safeguard standards for HIPAA, and who isn't, you won't want to miss the Buyer's Guide To HIPAA Compliance Products. And finally, security is huge and costly piece of the compliance puzzle, and we've compiled all the recent security product reviews from across the Pipeline sites.
