IT Infrastructure, Strategy, and Charter Template Updated for PCI-DSS.....
 Park City, UT –
Janco released Version 3.0 of its IT Infrastructure, Strategy, and Charter
Template today. With the increased PCI-DSS requirement and the explosion of
technology into every facet of the day-to-day business environment there is
a need for tools to create and manage the necessary infrastructure.
In addition to the updates to the template for PCI-DSS compliance,
detailed job descriptions have been added for the CIO of a large enterprise
plus a second CIO job description for a small enterprise. The CEO of Janco
Associates, Inc., Victor Janulaitis said, "With the new PCI-DSS compliance
requirements and the explosion of technology into every facet of the
day-to-day business environment there is a need to define an effective
infrastructure to support operating environment; have a strategy for the
deployment and technology; and clearly define responsibilities and
accountabilities for the use and application of technology." He added, "The
Information Technology Infrastructure, Strategy, and Charter Template fills
that need."
Defining Your Optimal IT Infrastructure is a critical task that can no
longer wait with all of the changes mandated by PCI-DSS, HIPAA,
Sarbanes-Oxley, changing economic environment, and changes to enterprise
operating environments.
The template helps enterprises:
- Understand and explain what infrastructure is, enabling enterprises,
their constituents, and the executive team to manage the enterprise's
technology environment more effectively;
- Analyze the current state their enterprise's infrastructure so they
know where it works well and where to focus improvement efforts;
- Justify infrastructure spending, using the template's comprehensive
definitions and ready to use examples to link IT infrastructure and the
enterprise's bottom line; and,
- Prioritize enterprise resources with a prescriptive toolset that
lets enterprises focus their efforts in a cost effective manner.
The template is over 125 pages in length and the topics
covered include: IT infrastructure, strategy, and charter summary; strategy
and charter statement of authority; it management structure; compliance;
personnel practices; controls; application development standards; service
requests; local area network; back-up and recovery; disaster recovery plan;
security; access control - physical site; access control - software and
