A clear, concise primer on the GDPRThe GDPR aims to unify data protection and ease the flow of personal data across the EU. It applies to every organisation in the world that handles EU residents' personal data.While the GDPR is not law in countries outside the EU, it is effectively part of the legislative environment for organisations that do business with the EU. This is enforced through a combination of international trade law and business pressure - after all, a partner in the EU is unlikely to want to risk engaging with a company in the US, Australia or Singapore (or anywhere else) that will put them at risk.EU GDPR - An international guide to compliance is the ideal resource for anyone wanting a clear primer on the principles of data protection and their obligations under the GDPR.A concise pocket guide, it will help you understand:The terms and definitions used in the GDPR, including explanations;The key requirements of the GDPR, including:Which fines apply to which Articles;The principles that should be applied to any collection and processing of personal data;The Regulation's applicability;Data subjects' rights;Data protection impact assessments;The data protection officer role and whether you need one;Data breaches, and notifying supervisory authorities and data subjects; andObligations for international data transfers.How to comply with the Regulation, including:Understanding your data, and where and how it is used (e.g. Cloud suppliers, physical records);The documentation you must maintain (such as statements of the information you collect and process, records of data subject consent, processes for protecting personal data); andThe "appropriate technical and organisational measures" you need to take to ensure compliance with the Regulation.A full index of the Regulation, enabling you to find relevant Articles quickly and easily.Supplemental material While most of the EU GDPR's requirements are broadly unchanged in the UK GDPR, the context is quite different and will have knock-on effects.¿You may need to update contracts regarding EU-UK data transfers, incorporate standard contractual clauses into existing agreements, and update your policies, processes and procedural documentation as a result of these changes.

This model is then applied to the different Cloud service models to show how the conceptual security services within the reference model can be delivered for each Cloud service model.This book will help organisations looking to implement Cloud services aimed at the enterprise - such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Salesforce - and to do so in a risk-managed manner.It is aimed at business decision makers, senior IT stakeholders, enterprise architects, information security professionals.Manage the risks associated with Cloud computing - buy this book today!

Only by understanding IT-driven business services and anchoring them in a service design statement (SDS) can enterprises translate business needs into IT-intensive business services.In Collaborative Business Design - Improving and innovating the design of IT-driven business services, Brian Johnson and Léon-Paul de Rouw comprehensively explain how to use business service design (BSD) to formulate an effective SDS that will help business and IT cooperate to create robust, efficient services that support business requirements.Product overviewCollaborative Business Design delves into the inner workings of services, with the aim of making sure that each side - business and IT - understands the other's needs and drivers so that services can deliver what is required, expected and promised throughout their lifecycle.

Enhanced IT Service Management though integrated management frameworksWith the increasing popularity of ITILas a framework for IT Service Management (ITSM), a number of organizations have realized that this approach is sometimes not enough on its own. As a result, service managers are looking for ways to enhance their ITIL-based ITSM without having to throw it away and start again. Many are already working towards compliance with ISO/IEC 20000 - the International Standard for IT Service Management. With the recent release of COBIT service management practitioners have even more options. However, until now, there has been little guidance on how to merge these frameworks, standards and methodologies to develop best practice across the ITSM function and produce a robust enterprise philosophy for service delivery.Guidance on creating an integrated systemWritten by service management gurus Suzanne D. Van Hove and Mark Thomas,Pragmatic Application of Service Managementis the first book to provide guidance on creating an integrated system based on the three leading service management approaches: COBIT ISO/IEC 20000 and ITIL and, to provide a unique mapping to assist service management practitioners in their information gathering. This practical book presents a holistic view of the three and enables service managers to immediately adapt and deploy the guidance, quickly improving their ITSM function.Create a stronger, more robust Service Management SystemPacked with instructive illustrations and helpful tables, this book is ideal for service managers, consultants, auditors and anyone who is considering adopting, adapting or merging COBIT ISO/IEC 20000 and ITIL. Through mini case studies, the authors apply their unique Five Anchor Approach to demonstrate how the improvement aspects of COBIT ISO/IEC 20000 and ITIL can help identify and deal with common problems faced by today's organizations.Read this book to learn how to merge COBIT ISO/IEC 20000 and ITIL for better service managementThis product is accredited by AXELOS, the licensors of official ITIL products.
