President’s Message

Our Toronto chapter has begun a new season of continuing professional education training and a new fiscal year. Many exciting events and news are waiting.

First of all, I would like to thank Usuff Currim and Paul Johns, for their dedication and contribution as our chapter board Treasurer and Director of Research & University Relations respectively over the past years. I would also like to welcome our new chapter board members, Larry Leung, Baskaran Rajamani and Behram Faroogh. In addition, thank you to the returning chapter board members and all committee volunteers for your continued support.

Congratulations to our chapter’s CISA and CISM exam writers. Exam writers in our region have

an over sixty three percent passing rate for the CISA exam and over eighty three percent passing rate for the CISM exam. The CISA and CISM exam passers recognition evening and general membership reception was held on Thursday October 27th, 2005 at the Toronto Board of Trade.

Your Continuing Education committee has worked hard to bring you an exciting line-up of training courses. Breakfast sessions were a hit with members and non-members last year and more have been planned for this year. Please make full use of these courses especially to obtain your CPE hours!

Your CISA Training committee has also responded to your needs. A comprehensive 5-day CISA exam preparation course was offered in November 2005 to assist candidates in their exam preparation.

Your chapter board has also been busy planning, setting priorities and identifying associated activities that are in line with International’s and our chapter’s strategic goals in order to move your chapter forward.

On the international front, effective January 1, 2006 Information Systems Audit & Control Association will be re-branded to “ISACA Serving IT Governance Professionals.” One of the reasons for the re-branding

is the current name does not reflect the growing number of information security professionals in the membership, and the increasing importance of providing information security programming and research to members. The re-branding will enable ISACA to show that it is serving a broader range of professionals and not just professionals in audit and control arenas.

ISACA International is also proud to advise you that the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has accredited ISACA’s Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification programs under ISO/IEC 17024. Such accreditation promotes the unique ISACA qualifications and expertise, protects the integrity of ISACA certifications and provides legal defensibility, enhances consumer and public confidence in the certifications and the people who hold them, and facilitates the mobility of certified individuals across borders or industries.

I hope to see you at our chapter events during the course of the year!

Have a great holiday season!

INTERNATIONAL NEWS

ISACA Adopts New Tagline, Logo At the recent meeting of the ISACA/ITGI Board of Directors/Trustees, new taglines were adopted for the organizations:

• ISACA: Serving IT Governance Professionals • ITGI: Leading the IT Governance Community

A tagline was identified as an efficient and effective way to convey the Association’s broadened area of expertise, while still maintaining ISACA’s well-known identity. Because ISACA has achieved a significant level of recognition over the years under its current name, there was no desire to undergo a name change. Coinciding with the use of the tagline will be exclusive use of the acronym ISACA, in place of the association’s full name. A tagline for IT Governance Institute® was also created, to help convey ITGI’s purpose and role.

The switch to the new association image will become effective on 1 January 2006.

COBIT 4.0 and Val IT Coming Soon! COBIT 4.0

To aid organizations in successfully meeting today’s business challenges, ITGI has published version four of Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT®).

This latest version emphasizes regulatory compliance, helps organizations increase the value attained from IT, enables alignment and simplifies implementation of the COBIT framework. It is not a replacement for earlier versions of COBIT; instead, it can be used to enhance work already done based upon those earlier versions. It presents activities in a more streamlined and practical manner, so that continuous improvement in IT organizations is easier than ever to achieve.

To learn more about this new version, please visit www.isaca.org/cobit.

Val IT Val IT is a governance framework based on COBIT that includes generally accepted guiding principles and supporting processes related to the evaluation and selection of IT-enabled business investments, as well as the benefit realization and delivery of value from those investments.

Publications and operational tools will support the Val IT framework. The first publication, scheduled for release in the fourth quarter, will contain an executive summary, a case study, Val IT process and control objectives, and a business case.

For more information, please visit www.isaca.org.

COBIT Foundation Course Launched ISACA/ITGI’s COBIT Foundation CourseTM, a self-paced electronic tutorial developed by ITpreneurs, is now available.

The COBIT Foundation Course can be completed in approximately eight hours and features case studies; real-world examples; an overview of COBIT’s control objectives, control practices, management guidelines and audit guidelines; and 40 sample questions that help prepare users for the COBIT Foundation exam.

Certification Update Overwhelming Response to Second Exam Administration The next CISA and CISM exam administration on 10 December 2005 has received an overwhelming response.

Members taking the CISA exam should note that the December exam will be the last using the current CISA job practice areas. The 2005 CISA study materials should be used (not those now available for the 2006 exam). The Toronto Chapter has already adjusted its preparation training to accommodate this change.

Registration for the December exam ended 30 September 2005. To view additional details and a series of frequently asked questions, please visit www.isaca.org/cisa or www.isaca.org/cism.

Additionally, candidates may view or print a copy of the CISA or CISM Bulletin of Information for the December 2005 exams at www.isaca.org/cisaboi and www.isaca.org/cismboi.

2005 CISM Review Course Audio CD To help prepare candidates for the CISM exam, the review course has been updated to include an audio presentation featuring Krag Brotby, one of the contributors to the CISM Review Manual 2005. This audio CD presents each of the five task domains and combines PowerPoint slides with an audio commentary. Each section can be reviewed separately as part of a chapter-led review course or as an aid for small group or independent study. Copies of the audio CD course will be sent to chapter CISM coordinators.

CISM Job Practice Analysis Nears Completion

The CISM job practice analysis, which will form the basis for the 2007 CISM examination, is coming to a conclusion. In September, a survey was sent to a representative sample of CISMs who have been asked to evaluate job task statements as to their importance and criticality. Knowledge statements that represent what competencies information security managers require were also submitted to CISMs as part of the survey. This information was combined with the work of the task force members and subject matter experts. The resulting definition of the information security manager position will not only form the basis of the certification but also help clarify the security manager’s position. Professional Examination Service, the project consultant, issued the complete report to the CISM Certification Board for consideration and approval at its October meeting. To include a wider representation of security management, the Information Systems Security Association, the Information Security Forum and ASIS International were represented on the project task force.

2006 CISM Exam Available in Spanish

The 19 ISACA chapters in Spain and Latin America have proposed that the CISM exam be translated into Spanish. The chapters documented the growing

importance of information security management in Latin America and the strong support for CISM in Spain. Recognizing language as an impediment to the growth of CISM in some areas, the CISM Certification Board has approved the Spanish translation of the exam. The first exam offered in Spanish will be in June 2006.

INTEGRATED APPROACH TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPLIANCE TO

MAXIMIZE VALUE

Thursday, December 8th, 2005 8:30am - 12:00pm 3.5 CISA Hours

CEO/CFO certification requirements have expanded the IT executives’ role in corporate governance and control across the business. Internal control legislation, privacy regulations, business need and operational efficiency have given rise to the need to integrate IT governance initiatives as opposed to fragmented responses dealing with isolated issues. The cost of compliance (initial and sustained) and the increased formality of IT control, drive substantial costs from which executives and organizations need to derive benefit. We will review what actions are required by the CEO, CFO and CIO to ensure long-term optimization of your compliance initiative.

After attending this session, participants will: Gain insight into the changing role of IT management in management’s evaluation of internal controls; Understand the advantages and challenges of increased integration with internal customers; Understand the role of IT governance in building a sustainable IT internal control environment and

compliance initiative; Appreciate the advantages of long term considerations and sustainment concepts in the IT internal

control environment; and Be able to consider various responses to managing their compliance initiative within their organization

and the business needs.
