SearchCIO Selects Waters Edge as Compliance Editor

We are pleased that SearchCIO-Midmarket, one of the Web's leading news and information sources on IT technology has selected Waters Edge to serve as a contributing editor on compliance issues facing CIOs of mid-market enterprises.

Here is what Sarah Varney of SearchCIO-Midmarket said in their announcement:

A new resource for compliance education[Sarah Varney, Technology Editor]

As an editor, it's always a thrill to discover a relatively unknown expert on the Web. Compliance is a hot topic, and Jeffrey Ritter's new monthly feature will detail the legal issues surrounding both standards and technology issues. We welcome him to the SearchCIO-Midmarket.com fold with high expectations and every confidence that he'll meet and exceed them. He debuts this week with a useful look at the compliance issues that can't be ignored when your company decides to use a Software as a Service vendor, instead of using an in-house application.

A lawyer by training, Ritter is CEO and founder of Waters Edge Consulting LLC, an advisory firm offering training, assessment and design services to enable companies to build trusted information systems. He is recognized as one of the most influential voices at the intersection of law and technology, and is a pioneer in shaping the legal rules for cyberspace and addressing the value of digital information as property, whether in the boardroom, the courtroom, the legislature or a network operations center.

He has published four books, many articles and moderates every month online training symposia for nearly 2000 security professionals who are members of ISSA, ISACA, ISC(2) and other associations. Waters Edge is part of a select group of consulting firms that conduct pre-certification assessments for companies seeking ISO 27001 certifications in the United States.

Please feel free to get in touch with Jeffrey with questions and comments at either Jeffrey@wec-llc.com or editor@searchCIO-midmarket.com. Next month, he'll tackle the compliance issues associated with master data management. Thanks, Sarah
