Microsoft Compliance Management Series BETA released
The Solution Accelerators - Security and Compliance team has released a beta version of its first set of guides in the Compliance Management Series. This effort expands on the work done in the Regulatory Compliance Planning Guide published in 2006.
Here is a bit of detail on the new Solution Accelerator:
Managing compliance issues imposed by regulations and statutory requirements can be difficult to reconcile with regulations and standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27002, AICPA GAPP, and COBIT. An additional challenge is the lack of a single source of compliance configuration guidance for Microsoft products.
The Compliance Management Series (a MOF–based expansion of the Regulatory Compliance Planning Guide) provides Standards of Care and simple checklists to help you configure Microsoft products to address Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) requirements.
Standards of Care simplify complex categories such as Asset Management, Compliance Management, and Risk Management, and clarify how to configure Microsoft products quickly and effectively for these categories.
The Series uses Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) 4.0 to provide you with a structured approach to the planning and delivery of configuration changes in your organization.
The beta release of the Compliance Management Series is now available and will be open thru September 24, 2008 for your review.
