As we explore Domain 1.3 of the CISSP exam, we unpack how proper governance creates accountability and structure that protects both your organization and your career.We begin with a startling real-world example: the "Red November" campaign, where Chinese state-sponsored hackers exploited vulnerable internet-facing appliances and VPNs across defense, aerospace, and government sectors for a full year. This sophisticated operation highlights why casual approaches to security governance leave organizations exposed to devastating attacks.Security governance isn't merely a theoretical concept – it's a practical framework that defines who's responsible for what across your security landscape. We break down the crucial roles every organization must establish: from Senior Managers who hold ultimate responsibility, to Data Owners who classify information, to Data Custodians who implement protections, and the often-overlooked role of Auditors who verify everything works as intended. Understanding these distinctions protects security professionals from becoming scapegoats when incidents occur.The real value emerges when we examine how security control frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CRI provide structured approaches to managing risk. These aren't one-size-fits-all solutions, but rather customizable blueprints that help you systematically identify, implement, and monitor security measures appropriate to your specific needs. Framework mapping allows you to align multiple requirements efficiently, making compliance less burdensome and more effective.Finally, we demystify the concepts of due care and due diligence – the practical actions that demonstrate you've taken reasonable steps to protect your organization. These aren't just legal defenses; they're the fundamental building blocks of a mature security program that aligns with business objectives while meaningfully reducing risk.Whether you're preparing for the CISSP exam or building a more robust security program, this episode provides the practical knowledge you need to implement effective security governance that executives will support and auditors will approve.Support the showGain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions delivered directly to your inbox!

Auditors are billed as carbon market watchdogs. But conflicts of interest may undermine their credibility. --- The voluntary carbon market is poised for rapid growth, with airlines soon required to use offsets for international flights and pressure building on other industries to follow suit. But recent studies show many offsets fail to deliver real climate benefits, raising doubts about their credibility. Independent offset auditors are promoted as the guarantors of trust, yet their role is shaped by systemic conflicts of interest that make true accountability difficult. Former EPA enforcement chief Cynthia Giles and Penn Law’s Cary Coglianese explore the flaws at the heart of offset auditing—and what they could mean for the future of the offset industry. Cynthia Giles was the senate-confirmed head of EPA’s enforcement office all eight years of the Obama administration. She wrote a book about making environmental rules more effective, titled Next Generation Compliance: Environmental Regulation for the Modern Era, published by Oxford University Press. During the Biden administration she worked on climate regulations as a senior advisor in the Air office. Cary Coglianese is the Edward B. Shils Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where he is also the founding director of the Penn Program on Regulation. He has taught and studied environmental and regulatory law and policy for more than thirty years, and is a member of the advisory committee for the university’s Penn Climate initiative as well as the Water Center at Penn.

I recorded this episode at Barracuda TechSummit25 in Alpbach, Austria, a mountain village that looks like a postcard and hosts some of the most grounded security conversations you will hear all year. My guest is Richard Flanders, Commercial Director at Aura Technology, a managed service provider on the south coast of England that supports public sector organisations and tightly regulated commercial clients. Richard arrived as part of Barracuda's Partner Advisory Board, which means he spends as much time feeding customer reality back into product teams as he does comparing notes with peers in the hallway. We talk through his first TechSummit experience and why the event's focus on hands-on engineering matters for MSPs who live in the weeds of configuration, policy, and response. Richard shares early thoughts on Barracuda's secure edge service and the continued maturation of XDR, but the heart of our chat is the pressure he sees on customers. Compliance is no longer a side quest. ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, supply chain reporting, and new European rules are shaping budgets and expectations. Boards want proof. Auditors want evidence. Buyers want to know a supplier chose fit-for-purpose tools. That makes documentation, contracts, and the ability to show your working as important as the tech itself. We also get into the human side. In a world that loves point solutions, many teams are tired of alert noise and tool sprawl. Richard explains why a single, coherent view helps his engineers move faster and train better, and why MSPs are leaning into prevention-focused workflows rather than waiting for the next fire. He is candid about the conversations no one enjoys, like end-of-life systems that keep a legacy app alive, and the need for tougher stances when risk sits outside an acceptable boundary. AI comes up too, without the hype. Aura is hiring a Head of AI and Automation, standing up a private AI platform, and committing to ship a handful of small, useful apps for customers in the year ahead. The lens is productivity and safety, with an emphasis on teaching teams how to question outputs and rethink everyday tasks. Add in security awareness training, phishing simulations, and tabletop exercises, and you start to see a culture shift from annual tick-boxes to regular, lived practice. There is a lovely moment of serendipity in here as well. Richard's first conversation on day one was with another partner from Pune, the same city where Aura runs its network operations. They swapped ideas on automation and integration that might never have surfaced on a video call. That is the value of getting people in a room together, especially when the room happens to be carved into the side of a mountain. If you work with an MSP, this episode will help you ask better questions. If you are an MSP, you will recognise the balance Richard describes. Pick the right controls for the risks you actually face. Prove what you do. Keep training. And give your teams a single place to see what matters, so the next incident stays small. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 3rd Publish Date: July 3rd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, July 3rd and Happy birthday to Tom Cruise I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Corps of Engineers reopening seven more Lake Lanier parks NAACP accuses Gwinnett DA of mishandling shooting case, wants AG to reopen case Gwinnett Stripers partner with TeamSmile to provide free dental exams for local underserved children Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Corps of Engineers reopening seven more Lake Lanier parks The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has partnered with Forsyth and Hall counties to reopen nearly all nine previously closed parks on Lake Lanier for the Fourth of July weekend. Six parks will operate under one-year agreements with the counties, while Burton Mill Park will temporarily open for the holiday weekend. This collaboration aims to provide recreational access while addressing staffing shortages that initially threatened to close 21 parks. Only two parks, Van Pugh North and South, will remain closed as hiring efforts continue to support long-term operations. STORY 2: NAACP accuses Gwinnett DA of mishandling shooting case, wants AG to reopen case A dispute has arisen over the Gwinnett DA's decision not to prosecute Alejandro Querales Morales, who shot Jalyne Evans-Jones through his door after she and her husband asked him to lower his music in August 2023. Evans-Jones, who survived with permanent injuries, and the NAACP claim the case was mishandled, citing lack of investigation and communication. The DA’s office argued there wasn’t enough evidence, pointing to a witness who claimed Evans-Jones' husband had a gun. The NAACP is urging Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to reopen the case, alleging misconduct, though Carr’s office stated it lacks jurisdiction. Evans-Jones and her husband have also filed a civil lawsuit. STORY 3: Gwinnett Stripers partner with TeamSmile to provide free dental exams for local underserved children Underserved children in Gwinnett County will receive free dental exams and oral health education on July 8, thanks to a partnership between the Gwinnett Stripers, TeamSmile, Delta Dental, and Sun Life U.S. Held at Cooray Field, the event will feature pro athletes, mascots, and entertainment to create a fun atmosphere. Children with dental issues will be referred to TeamSmile’s Dental Home Project for long-term care. Since 2007, TeamSmile has provided over $22 million in free dental care to more than 60,000 children nationwide. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: State audit of state program for kids produced mixed results A state audit of the Georgia Family Connection Partnership, which received $30 million in funding for fiscal year 2024, revealed mixed results in improving child well-being indicators. While the program positively impacted high school graduation and teen birth rates, it showed no evidence of improvement in child abuse, low birthweight babies, or child poverty. Auditors criticized the program's decentralized model for limiting measurable impact and disagreed with the partnership’s claim that results were "promising." Established in 1991, the initiative aims to address Georgia's historically low child well-being rankings but faces challenges in demonstrating consistent statewide outcomes. STORY 5: Police: Mercedes SUV was stolen while being transported out of state Gwinnett County police are searching for a stolen 2025 matte gray Mercedes GLS with distinctive 24-inch Forgiato wheels. The SUV was last seen on June 6 when a subcontractor picked it up from a Snellville home to transport it out of state, but it never arrived. Police are seeking public assistance and encourage anyone with information to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers, which offers cash rewards for tips leading to an arrest and indictment.

In an audit, election statement deficiencies can be costly. Auditors deny all claims covered by the problematic election statement, and those costs can multiply if more than one patient was affected. In this episode, Husch Blackwell's Meg Pekarske, Bryan Nowicki, and Josi Wergin discuss common reasons auditors give for denying claims based on election statement deficiencies, and how hospices can improve their election statements to try to avoid them.

This episode is sponsored by Delinea. Security and compliance concepts related to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management are constantly evolving, and our guest, Delinea principal software development engineer Alex Meyer, continue to work to help the community make sense of their options. Alex, a Microsoft MVP, recently presented a new webcast to the MSDW audience on native controls in D365 applications, and he joins the podcast to provide more perspective on the gaps that still exist. Auditors have become more familiar with D365 F&O solutions, Alex explains, and that means they know where to look for verification of segretation of duties. We also discuss another hot topic right now, D365 licensing and the new policies Microsoft is trying to finalize related to technical enforcement for users. Alex shares his experiences and observations thus far, including the latest known delays to Microsoft's implementation of this plan.

Tony Long – Tony was educated at a private school, where his early days were filled with rigorous routines and the exploration of his passions, particularly for guns and the great outdoors. The smell of freshly polished shoes and the satisfaction of a well-made bed became the backdrop for his childhood, instilling a sense of discipline that would serve him well in his future career. By the age of 18½, when he joined the police force, navigating the complexities of law enforcement felt like a natural progression for him.Tony's first posting following training took him to Lewisham, an area alive with the vibrant pulse of London life. Even though he hailed from the serene surroundings of Sussex, he was well-acquainted with the city, his heart often drawn to its bustling streets thanks to family ties. His transition into adulthood was marked dramatically when he married his girlfriend, who was pregnant, and by the tender age of 19½, he found himself a proud father to a baby girl. This new chapter in his life brought a mix of joy and responsibility, shaping his worldview and fueling his determination to protect and serve.As Tony progressed from street duties to the SPG (Special Patrol Group), he encountered a period shadowed by the tragic events surrounding Blair Peach. The haunting memories of that time lingered, shaping the reputation of the SPG and the public's perception of police. When he first stepped into the chaos of the 1981 Riots, he quickly realized that the streets were not just a backdrop for his duties; they were a living, breathing tapestry of human emotion and conflict. It was during this tumultuous time that he acquired his first “Nato British Army Riot Helmet,” a heavy piece of equipment that now sat as a stark reminder of the turmoil that often accompanied his role.Reflecting on the modern police service, Tony holds a nuanced view. He expresses admiration for the officers on the front lines, who now face scrutiny from “Auditors” and “Activists” in a society where every action is documented and dissected. He recalls the halcyon days of policing, a time when officers donned tunics, and the public interaction felt more personal, devoid of the ever-watchful eyes of cameras. It was a simpler time when a handshake could seal a deal and a friendly nod could disarm potential conflict.Despite an increase in population—from 27,000 officers in London in 1975 to only 30,000 today—Tony notes a concerning decline in civilian support. This paradox of fewer officers for a growing city weighs heavily on his mind, as he understands the challenges posed by this reality. The streets are now busier, and the complexity of policing has transformed dramatically, necessitating a shift in how officers approach their duties.Tony's introduction to firearms was unexpected, sparked by the urgency of an arrest before his duty shift even began. On just his second day, he was thrust into a high-stakes situation, tasked with apprehending a suspect accused of stabbing an officer. Returning to Lewisham with a team of officers, he felt the palpable tension in the air; his interactions with the public along New Cross Road starkly contrasted his earlier days patrolling the beat, each encounter underscoring the turbulence of the times.His basic firearms course, spanning five days, became a crash course in both skill and strategy. Four days were devoted to honing marksmanship on the range, while the final day opened the door to tactics that would guide him through potentially perilous situations. Through it all, he remained committed to his mission, embodying the spirit of a protector in a world that increasingly demanded vigilance and resilience. Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textListen to the past LiveStream! When a frequent police critic agrees to join our show for a live debate on inventory searches, something unexpected happens—mutual understanding.Instead of the contentious exchange you might expect, our conversation with "Kingslayer" transforms into a fascinating exploration of Fourth Amendment rights during traffic stops. What begins as disagreement over when police can legally search impounded vehicles evolves into a nuanced discussion about constitutional protections, officer discretion, and the real-world complexities of policing.As Kingslayer articulates his concern—that inventory searches become problematic when vehicles aren't ultimately towed—our hosts acknowledge the legal gray area while explaining the liability and safety considerations from law enforcement's perspective. The respect shown on both sides creates space for genuine learning rather than defensive posturing.The episode also features body camera analysis of high-stakes encounters, including a pursuit ending in gunfire where officers demonstrate remarkable restraint, and a domestic dispute that escalates when a man refuses commands during a felony stop. Throughout each review, we break down tactical decisions, missed opportunities, and moments where training translates into life-saving action.What makes this episode special isn't just the content but the demonstration of how productive dialogue happens between those with different perspectives on policing. By prioritizing understanding over "winning" arguments, both sides discover common ground in their shared commitment to constitutional rights.Whether you're interested in law enforcement procedures, know-your-rights education, or simply want to see how difficult conversations can bridge divides, this episode offers rare insight into finding common ground in an increasingly polarized world.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.An auditor who worked for Barcelona for four days is the only one who included the €100million sale of VIP seating to Middle Eastern investors and now that has been questioned by La Liga, which could lead to Dani Olmo and Pau Victor's registrations being in question. When you think this story is as ridiculous as it could possibly be, the scriptwriters find something else even more ridiculous to add into the mix. In reports filed from the previous auditor, who worked through sometime on December 31, and the unknown auditor who worked from December 31-January 3, and the next auditor who started on January 3 (we think)... only the unknown auditor had the sale included. That sale allowed Barcelona to have the additional salary cap space per La Liga rules to extend Olmo & Victor's registrations into 2025. But that sale either didn't happen, wasn't properly accounted for, or something else because it didn't show up on a subsequent financial report. Lots for the courts, league, and federation to sort out in Spain. And it affects a potential bid for a quadruple from Barcelona who are leading La Liga, won the SuperCopa, alive in the Champions League, and now into the final of the Copa del Rey where they will face Real Madrid. Announced this morning, the bid led by the US (which might or might not include Mexico as a co-host) was the only one submitted by the deadline to host the 2031 Women's World Cup. Gianni Infantino said at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade that other Concacaf nations could be involved in hosting matches, something that has been reported recently here in the US. The 2035 tournament will be hosted by Great Britain as it was the only to submit a bid in time for that event. LAFC beat Inter Miami last night in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, the first loss for the Herons in 2025 in all competitions. Nathan Ordaz with the goal in the second half, second leg is in Ft. Lauderdale next week. Chattanooga Red Wolves won the penalty shootout across town at Finley Stadium to knock Chattanooga FC out of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in the second round in the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Over 12K were on hand for the game, 4th largest crowd in CFC history and their largest in a long time, 2nd largest in the 2nd round in the history of the USOC. Jose Mourinho did another ridiculous thing, which is becoming commonplace for him at this stage of his career. He grabbed the face of the opposing manager after yesterday's Turkish Cup match between his Fenerbahce & Galatasaray. The ridiculous actions seem to come on a bi-weekly basis for Mourinho at this stage, sad after one of the greatest careers for a manager in history but completely inexcusable to act in this manner. Liverpool defeated Everton yesterday 1-0, Everton should have had a player sent off for a horrendous challenge, but Liverpool's goal was controversial as well. Referees got it right according to how the rule is written, but I'm asking IFAB to consider changing the Laws of the Game to account for situations like this. When a pass is made for a player in an offside position, that should make them active in the play, regardless of whether they move for the ball or not. Defenders have to play the ball in that situation because they don't know if the player is offside from their vantage point. The defender shouldn't be punished for playing that ball by that action allowing the offside player to be now in an onside position. Luis Diaz was onside according to the letter of the LOTG, but not the spirit in my opinion and this should be changed going forward in interpretation. 

Legislative auditors concluded the president of the state Senate did not waste government resources or abuse his power when he contracted outside counsel for legislative work.

SummaryIn this conversation, the panel discusses the complexities and challenges faced by external auditors in the healthcare industry. They explore the importance of maintaining integrity and ethical standards while navigating client relationships, compliance issues, and the business side of medicine. The discussion highlights the need for clear communication and understanding between auditors and healthcare providers to ensure proper documentation and adherence to regulations. The conversation delves into various aspects of healthcare compliance, focusing on HCC chart reviews, the integrity of medical records, and the complexities of transitional care management (TCM). The participants discuss the importance of understanding medical necessity, the role of digital e-visits, and the risks associated with vendor relationships in healthcare. They emphasize the need for accurate documentation, the challenges faced by providers, and the importance of compliance in billing practices.TakeawaysExternal auditors play a crucial role in healthcare compliance.Clients often want validation rather than objective feedback.Maintaining integrity is essential in consulting roles.Documentation must support billing to avoid compliance issues.Providers need to understand the business side of medicine.Ethical standards should not be compromised for profit.Communication is key in client-auditor relationships.Preventative services should not incur out-of-pocket costs for patients.Auditors must navigate gray areas in compliance guidance.The importance of philosophical alignment in consulting engagements. HCC chart reviews are crucial for identifying missing information.Metadata manipulation in medical records can lead to compliance issues.Transitional Care Management (TCM) is essential for patient support post-discharge.Providers often misunderstand the billing process for TCM services.Medical necessity must be clearly documented and justified.Digital e-visits offer a new avenue for patient-provider communication.Vendors can create compliance risks if not properly vetted.Healthcare providers need to be aware of the implications of coding errors.Consultants play a vital role in ensuring compliance and proper documentation.Coders must actively correct and verify the accuracy of medical records.
