Information Risk Management cover

Information risk management (IRM) is about identifying, assessing, prioritising and treating risks to keep information secure and available. This accessible book is a practical guide to understanding the principles of IRM and developing a strategic approach to an IRM programme. It is the only textbook for the BCS Practitioner Certificate in Information Risk Management and this new edition reflects recent changes to the syllabus and to the wider discipline.

Information risk management is an integral part of every business and the author presents its lifecycle in an easy-to-follow and well-organised format with real-life examples, tools and templates. I highly recommend the book also as a valuable reference for legislation, standards, methodologies and frameworks for risk professionals to follow. -- Sema Yuce CISM CRISC CISA, Director at Truth ISC Technology and Security Consultancy Ltd.
This book is essential reading for any risk management practitioner. The author’s many years of practical experience in the subject shine through, it is clearly written and easy to follow. The book sets out the best approach when identifying and evaluating risk and the factors to consider when treating it in a pragmatic way. The examples give context and aid understanding and the appendices are comprehensive and a go-to source of useful information on risk. Highly recommended, this will be on my bookshelf. -- David Alexander, Information Security Group, Royal Holloway, University of London
This book should be mandatory reading within any business to understand the scale and scope of the landscape within which their information security and assurance professionals need to operate. -- Andrea Simmons PhD FBCS CITP CISM CISSP MA CIPP/E CIPM
