The topic for Friday's meeting is "Meeting Compliance and Audit
Requirements while Minimising Effort" and our 3 speakers are as follows:
Sean Carey is Head of Internal Audit at Postbank, Ireland's newest bank recently launched by An Post and Fortis Bank. Sean has a keen interest in information security and on May 23rd will give an auditors perspective on information security, explaining how best to demonstrate compliance internally.
Mike Harris is Director of Risk Advisory Services for Ernst & Young and has worked in information security for over 10 years. At this event Mike will speak on the topic "Achieving Compliance by Improving Security", looking at how to develop overall security framework based on a standard such as ISO 27001 and how this can both improve security and demonstrate compliance.
