..."Care and Feeding of Auditors", "Fun with Auditors", "Your auditor is your friend", etc. -- how the article shapes up will determine title!
I'm interested in dealings with and advice for dealing with IT auditors, data center auditors, security/compliance auditors, any other sort of auditors you've encountered (and what other types are there?). If you've dealt with them, share advice? If you ARE one, share advice? Stories too; good news, bad news, whatever -- but most interesting is advice/warnings/gotchas, rather than just anecdotes. I've read the "Auditors don't know squat" thread on IBM-Main so don't need that rehashed. And it wandered from the original question regarding having to apply z/OS PTFs within 30 days of availability (which of course drew laughter). So -- tips on warding off audits? Minimizing their burden? Avoiding ridiculous audit-imposed requirements? Educating auditors? Benefiting from audits? Being an auditor? Please reply/copy to [email protected] in addition to however else you respond -- so I don't miss comments in digests. Thanks, all. -- Gabriel Goldberg, Computers and Publishing, Inc.
