Managing and Preparing for e-discovery
Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm Eastern Time Speaker: Jeffrey Ritter; Waters Edge LLC Cost: No Cost
"The Federal e-discovery rule is applicable to any organization that could be involved in a lawsuit where any source of electronic data might be used as evidence. The ruling applies to both civil and criminal cases. This webcast will discuss how your ISO 27001 framework can help you protect your self and be prepared for the unexpected."
ISO 27001 and the Law
Date: Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm Eastern Time
Speaker: Jeffrey Ritter; Waters Edge LLC
Cost: No Cost
"Under oath you are vulnerable to adverse questioning. This webcast will explore the three critical contributions you must make as a ISMS professional:
* Controlling the integrity of ESI that is identified for preservation and collection.
* Assure the secure third party management of corporate ESI.
* Testify to the overall integrity and authenticity of the record."
These events will illustrate the frequently-overlooked relationship between the standards-based methodology of IT and the practice of law. With the collision of these disciplines, every legal professional needs to understand what the ISO standards are -- and how they apply to their practice.
Registration for each event is limited to the first 150 applicants, so register today! Materials from the course will only be offered to those who attend.

Surviving the Questions of a Hostile Lawyer [link includes bio and further information]

Contracting for Information Security [link includes bio and further information]
This two day session will enable information security professionals to enhance their value in negotiating, managing and enforcing commercial contracts in which information security controls are created. Participants will acquire invaluable risk maps, analytical tools and model contract language for assuring (whether as a customer or a supplier) information security is properly addressed in the contracts employing best practices that are based on ISO standards (ISO 27001 and 27002). Doing so will enable significant gains in compliance within HIPAA, PCI, SOX and privacy-intensive operations. [Note: Attendance requires additional SecureWorld+ registration]
