A Practical
Guide to Security Assessments is a process-focused approach
that presents a structured methodology for conducting assessments.
The key element of the methodology is an
understanding of business goals and processes, and how
security measures are aligned with business risks. The
guide also emphasizes that resulting security recommendations should
be cost-effective and commensurate with the security risk.
The methodology described serves as a foundation for
building and maintaining an information security program.
In
addition to the methodology, the book includes an
Appendix that contains questionnaires that can be modified
and used to conduct security assessments.
