Compliance through Abstinence – Achieving Compliance by Starting Over
No ratings
Presented at CISOVancouver 2013 by
IT leaders in Canadian organizations are battling a tricky catch-22 around compliance legislation. Driven by a dual directive to find cost-effective security solutions while remaining compliant, CISOs are bound up in strict national and provincial legislation that prohibits the use of economical services, such as the cloud. Michel Labelle, like many of his peers, faced a board of director’s edict to ensure 100 percent compliance. This challenge forced him and his team down the rabbit hole in a surreal journey to determine the what, how and why of compliance infractions. Realizing the problems were mostly of their own making, his team approached compliance through the novel approach of abstinence. In this session, Labelle focuses on better understanding of what compliance really means and how he led his team by “starting over.”
