Supporting Corporate Compliance Roundtable Series
What every IT Professional Needs to Know: Alignment of a Disaster Recovery plan to the Compliance requirement
It is my hope that our attendees found value at the latest Compliance Management Roundtable session. Special thanks to Lisa DuBrock for leading our January group though the complex issues of Aligning current IT contingency plans to Compliance requirements. Her candid and honest discussion on IT goals, Finance concerns, benefits of leveraging CobiT, what SOX really means to the CIO, etc… were “eye-opening” to many IT Professionals in attendance. Lisa has graciously provided us with a copy of her Slide Presentation
It is our goal to facilitate these ITA sessions to discover the common Compliance Management issues, problems, solutions and related news for the membership. The February 2007 Roundtable session will provide a wider overview to the Sarbanes Oxley Act, plus how your IT Department may already be 80% compliant – allowing IT to lead the rest of the Corporation forward towards successful and cost-effective Compliance Management for the SMB market. Stay tuned to the blog and the ITA website for more details.
Our interactive Roundtable format is always a great way for you to participate by sharing your ideas and being able to ask the experts! Please see the meeting notes below, and feel free to add your comments about last Thursdays session to our blog.

ABOUT JANUARY’s SESSION: A detailed, tested disaster recovery plan is becoming an increasingly important component for a company to demonstrate regulatory compliance. Being able to prove that your company not only can show that they have a back-up plan, but tested restoration plans is integral to the demonstration of compliance. We will discuss using the CobiT framework and how disaster recovery relates to your compliance requirements as well as potential pitfalls. The Radian Group presents a free industry discussion for IT Management professionals and those dealing with the issues of Compliance Management for SMBs – both those companies that are publicly held and those considering IPO strategies in the future.
Many ideas and experiences will be shared from industry experts to help turn these challenges into opportunities. IT departments continue to be under pressure to support more and more of the ever growing Corporate Compliance requirements being placed on their organizations – this session offers a way for them to get control over the audit and be a hero to the boardroom when meeting those challenges.
The Radian Group is a Naperville based IT Services firm specializing in Information Technology Solutions.
