Why technology in Las Vegas gaming is important to us in IT Compliance? 

Consider gaming tech supplied by these companies to the Las Vegas gaming industry

Consider these regulations in the Las Vegas gaming industry that need input from gaming technology 

Consider these other industry requirements that interface with the Las Vegas gaming industry 

Page 13: Ralph Villanueva CISA CIA CFE CRMA - Society of Corporate … · 2015. 9. 15. · 1 Ralph Villanueva CISA CIA CFE CRMA Objectives Attendees will learn the importance of a strong IT

Consider these Las Vegas tech enabled crimes that hinder accomplishment of business objectives 

These are the reasons why IT compliance is important to us. IT compliance professionals need to satisfy, and at the same time harness all those, in fulfilling his/her work.

You should run this with management, legal counsel and external auditors

Collaboration is the ultimate keystone for an effective IT compliance program.
