Recensioner i media

Praise for the popular first edition:This book focuses on the processes that must be employed by an organization to establish a certification and accreditation program based on current federal government criteria… Pat has structured this book to address the key issues in certification and accreditation, including roles and responsibilities, the life cycle, and even a discussion of pitfalls to avoid. As with all of Pat’s work, he provides the reader with practical information on what works and what does not … Even if government certification and accreditation is not your concern, the new ISO 27002 (formerly ISO17799) will require all of us to look for a process to make certification and accreditation bearable. Pat has succeeded in doing just that with this practical and readable book.—Thomas R. Peltier, Peltier Associates, Member of the ISSA Hall of Fame
