May 04, 2016ISO 27001 - What Is It Anyway?
Description: As the new CIO at Steptoe & Johnson PLLC, Mark Combs sought to better understand the ISO 27001 standards to determine if he should pitch it to firm management, and if he would find value from instituting these standards at his firm. He wondered if peers in other firms were asking the same questions. We set up an interview with John Verry from Pivot Point Security so Mark could quiz the expert about ISO 27001 and get many of his (and your) questions answered. Some of the topics addressed include:
What is ISO 27001 anyway - what does it mean and why do I want to do this?
What standards must be met to become certified?
Who is involved?
How much time should a firm commit to gaining certification?
Will ISO 27001 certification impact client matters?
What are some of the common difficulties faced - where do certification seekers often fall short?
How should someone new to the process estimate the total cost of certification?
Is there an example of the standards preventing a breach?
Speakers:

Mark Combs, the CIO at Steptoe & Johnson, has
expertise in information security, technology, strategy, people and
project management. He has provided leadership for all areas of IT
including networking, telecommunications, PC and application support,
project management and data center operations. With 18 years of
healthcare IT experience, Mark has previously served in a number of
management and security roles. He is a Certified Professional in Health
Information and Management Systems and a Certified HIPAA Security

legal vertical. John helps law firms, e-discovery firms and service
providers to law firms discover how ISO 27001 can reduce the security,

electronic documents according to a predetermined and well-thought-out
records retention policy, and give you a framework for making defensible
decisions to manage and dispose of records and information consistently
and cohesively.

A teleforum on this topic was hosted by this panel of experts on March
2nd and was a huge hit. Many members were unable to attend and expressed
