Maintaining Auditability with a Cloud Service or Data Center Provider

When:  Jan 21, 2021 from 15:30 to 17:00 (CT)
Associated with  Minnesota Chapter

Session Description:

Join Mark for this informative session that will explore how to work with a cloud service provider and maintain auditing standards. As the CISO of a Cloud Service Provider, Mark will be transparent and describe what you should expect and not expect out of your provider and how to draw boundaries and expectations from the very beginning. The discussion will go even deeper and help you understand the “why” of what you should and should not expect when it comes to auditing from a Cloud Service Provider and how a provider should address specific compliance regimens (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX etc). There will be plenty of time for questions and answers where you can pick Mark’s brain and experience with specific scenarios you have within your environment. This session will be designed for both those that conduct audits and internal compliance teams as well as those seeking new providers.
