ICT legal compliance is a marriage between business process management and information management. Regulators preside over the ceremony; the organisation's legal officers are witnesses; and a guest list of middle managers, lawyers and other interested parties ensures that the couple's past brings up no nasty surprises. Detailed planning is a key feature to a successful wedding much the same as measured risk analysis should drive your organisation's ICT compliance strategy.

The problem is that the goal posts always seem to be changing. Your organisation deals with a set of rules one day, only to find out that more legislative discoveries muddy the water the next. Add in international business standards and available best practice guidelines, and compliance's transparency then disappears.

How then does your organisation avoid unnecessary divorce from its compliance obligations?

These Legal Guidelines discuss:

• Key influencers of ICT law
• Why organisations should comply with ICT legislation
• The ICT legal risk management tool
• Legal risk management, and
• Implementing the legal risk management strategy
