Compliance never sleeps. At a time where companies everywhere are "trimming the fat", now more than ever IT teams must tighten privacy policies and do more with less. You can always push an IT project to the backburner, but you can't cancel a SOX law.

And it’s not just about meeting the latest compliance requirement. You must constantly refine your security program to keep up with the changing security landscape. The recent Heartland breach illustrates a common misperception among top IT executives: If I am compliant I am secure. This is completely untrue and lulls organizations into a false sense of security. Upper management makes the final decision on the risk management approach, but you are responsible for articulating the risk your organization faces. So how do you ensure you are investing in technologies that will keep your organization secure and meet your compliance obligations?

Attend Compliance Decisions, a free one-day seminar that brings together industry experts, auditors, senior IT manager's and security practitioners to tackle compliance from all angles. Independent industry experts deliver sessions focused on:

• How to create and manage a scalable compliance program with limited budget and resources
• How to implement effective processes and procedures to comply with the regulations
  

• New and revised laws on the horizon and what you must know to comply

• How to leverage new and existing technologies to meet the ever-changing mandates

• The regulations that demand attention and how to prioritize them
• Virtualization and your compliance efforts
• How to create governance structures to manage the compliance process
• How to have ‘the’ conversation with upper management that will articulate the risk and get you the dollars you need
• And more!

All too often, compliance is a fire-fighting exercise for the entire IT department, but the reality is that companies don't have the resources to have employees hunting down the proof when an auditor walks through the door. Spend a couple hours out of the office and return with a blueprint on how to streamline operational efficiencies around compliance and create a program that can easily accommodate the changing regulatory environment (and prepare you for those still to come).

Whether your organization is struggling to keep up with industry-specific regulations, international regulations or ongoing issues with Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, HIPAA or PCI, this one-day event will help you maintain compliance in your organization.
