Many agencies have a good handle on IT security, with the FISMA guidelines spelled out in great detail. However, with the advent of the new financial stimulus packages, there is a greater impetus to streamline the process around managing financial controls.
Traditionally, financial process controls and IT security (e.g. FISMA) have been managed in separate silos. In November 2009, I presented a session at the IT Government Expo (sponsored by CA) in which we explored the potential of a broader perspective, in order to "bridge the gap" between security and financial process controls. As part of that session, we all discussed how a centralized GRC approach can help entities streamline the management of enterprise risks and controls.
