Security and internal controls are the lifeboats for a firm. When properly done, these items provide the necessary safety blanket around the firm's operations.

Check out the firms that are listed in the Course-Related Websites (in Course Resources). Some of them are excellent resources that firms can use to obtain information about security and internal controls.

Using the firm that you work for (or if you are not working, use a firm that you used to work for or a firm that you are familiar with), select a firm from the Course-Related Websites and describe they can help your firm in securing and protecting its AIS. Be sure to include specifics.
