Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers continue to face increasing customer demand to attain security compliance certifications that demonstrate commitment to security, privacy, confidentiality, and more. Pursuing every national and international certification individually results in a repetitive cycle of ongoing walkthroughs, interviews, testing, and evidence requests (i.e., audits).
A central CCF can be considered a one-stop shop response to the complex alphabet soup of compliance standards on the market today.
In this ISACA Podcast episode, ISACA's Lisa Cook listens in as James Huang, Global Cloud Compliance Senior Manager, explains why having a central CCF can help various product engineering teams meet their security compliance needs and understand the level of effort required for each compliance certification.

Secure your Supply Chain with an Effective Vendor Security Program
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Thursday Oct 05, 2023
Security risks introduced by vendors have become a top-of-mind concern for executives today, driven by recent supply chain incidents that have exposed organizations to operational and reputational risks.
A robust vendor security program is now a must, as it helps ensure compliance and proactively identifies and mitigates these risks throughout the vendor lifecycle. However, many vendor security teams today face an ever-growing backlog of security reviews, creating increased urgency and pressure for teams to maintain quality assessments. These reviews are often perceived as time-consuming in the procurement process, calling for a balance between meeting business demands and conducting thorough assessments to identify and isolate potential risks.
In this ISACA Podcast, Adobe's Manager of Vendor Security Nidhi Bandi shares about recent enhancements Adobe has made to calculate risk in the vendor space better and provides guidance on how you can stand up a strong vendor security program that balances procurement needs at your organization.

Agile Scrum is a lightweight framework that promises to significantly improve internal audits by creating a mindset that generates stakeholder value through adaptive solutions for complex auditing problems. This mindset is needed as organizations face unprecedented changes and pressures in today's business landscape. Internal audits must keep leaders informed and aware of potential risks.
Such a mindset addresses some of the often-experienced auditing challenges such as a lack of senior management support, insufficient audit preparation time, difficult auditees and lack of time needed to write audit results.

Strategies for Avoiding Burnout
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Chronic workplace stress can lead to burnout, which poses a significant risk to the mental health of busy professionals, such as auditors. But how can these professionals protect themselves from burnout? And how can their employers help them do so? If you are interested in learning the answers to these questions, then watch as ISACA’s Robin Lyons and Dr. Elena Klevsky, Assistant Professor of Accounting at the University of Tampa, discuss strategies for avoiding burnout.
Inspired by the Sustainable Model of Human Energy proposed by Ryan Quinn, Gretchen Spreitzer and Chak Fu Lam, these strategies focus on managing your personal energy by increasing resources, decreasing job demands, practicing skills and tasks, and monitoring energy.
Properly implementing these strategies has the potential to help busy professionals ensure that they have sufficient resources to meet their job demands, and, therefore, increase the likelihood that they feel energized instead of exhausted.
