This week`s resource selections originate from a monthly internal audit column I write for Jim Kaplan, for going on more than three years now.
Each month in Jim’s internal audit newsletter (http://www.auditnet.org/) I highlight leading audit and security resources to assist auditors and security practitioners.
Have another great week.

Some key questions to consider:
– Does the security aspect of the IT solution work?
– Will the privacy of the organization’s information be maintained?
– Will the staff know how to perform “productively” and accurately?
– Have we done everything necessary to be prepared?
– Are we ready to implement and how do you know it'll work?
