Julian asks:
Why is it that many IT departments tend to resist basic ISO 17799
controls??
I would ask a slightly different question - Why is it that a number of
companies and/or their employees think that the law doesn't apply to them
or try to work round rather than with the law?
There will always be a criminal element for which we need regulatory
legislation - but what annoys me is that so many so called reputable
organisations think they are above the law. If it were not for those
organisations then the workload of TICO, ASA etc would be much smaller.
