IT Security Risk Control Management: An Audit Preparation Plan

I've been quiet for a long, long while.  It hasn't been because I didn't have anything to say.  On the contrary, I've been pouring it all into my soon-to-be-released book, IT Security Risk Control Management: An Audit Preparation Plan.
 
Before you ask, I didn't come up with the title, the publisher did. The book is aimed at newly minted security professionals or those wanting to step into the security role. It covers how to build a security program from scratch, do the risk analysis, pick controls, implement the controls (in such a manner that they actually work), and then be able to pass an audit.  I specifically chose the SSAE-16/ISAE-3402 (SOCs 1,2,3), PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 as my audit candidates as they are the most common globally.
 
It'll be out in early October, but you can pre-order now.
 
I'll be writing more as we get closer to the publication date.
