January 2022 Midwest Cyber Security Alliance Meeting

Moving From “Checkbox” Compliance Audits to Risk-Based Standards to Better Secure Your Organization

Thursday, January 20, 2022 | 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. CST

Historically, organizations have relied on compliance standards to dictate their information security programs. Information Technology (IT) and Information Security (IS) teams found it easy to justify expenditures to the Board if they were “out of compliance” with a standard. The problem is that standards have historically been controls-focused rather than risk-based, and have not considered the ever-changing world of bad actors and threat landscapes.

With the soon-to-be-released Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.0, even a standard historically known as being one of the most rigid has moved toward allowing organizations to take a risk-based approach to maintaining their compliance. It’s time that your organization does the same.

We hope you can join us at the next Midwest Cyber Security Alliance (MCSA) meeting on Thursday, January 20, 2022, to learn more. Thomas Freeman, Senior Consultant with fellow sponsor Sikich LLP’s cybersecurity practice, will discuss merging typical “checkbox” compliance audits with enterprise risk management programs in a manageable way that allows organizations to integrate new risk-based versions of compliance standards.

Two Ways to Join in 2022
We are thrilled to be hosting the first MCSA meeting of 2022 in-person once again from the scenic 40th floor of our Milwaukee office! Because expanding participation to colleagues outside of the Milwaukee-Chicago corridor was an unexpected benefit of hosting virtual meetings over the last two years, we are pleased to continue offering a virtual option for those not able to attend in person.
