Reviews

"I have had the pleasure of working with Tim on several large risk assessment projects and I have tremendous respect for his knowledge and experience as an information security practitioner. … Risk assessment is the cornerstone of an effective information security program. … striving to achieve compliance in the absence of a risk-based security strategy can only lead to failure. … Implement an effective risk assessment program and take control of the compliance monster. … This book will help you do just that. I know you will benefit from Tim's guidance on how to get the most from your risk assessment efforts. For today's information security leaders, there is not a topic more important."
