� Sono «compliant» ma sono anche «sicuro» ?
� Come interagiscono tra loro i controlli ?
� The idea is that Lagging Indicators without Leading Indicators tell you nothing about how the outcomes will be achieved, nor can you have any early warnings about being on track to achieve your strategic goals.
� . . . . “investing in organisational capability”leads to “efficient and effective processes”, which deliver the products and services that “satisfy customers” and ultimately lead to “profit”
� Security by Compliance (675 / 96) o Complianceby Security (2012 / O11)?

…. ma i controlli funzioneranno ?
Il problema è stato affrontato nell’industria «matura», (o) dove si sbaglia una volta sola !La risposta :�Non «Controlli» od «Obiettivi di Controllo» ma : Modello di Processi di Controllo con le loro connessioni
�Si misura la «Capability» del Processo
Quindi, se i Processi hanno come obiettivo la Sicurezza IT
IT Security Capability Determination
C’è uno standard ISO di Assessment di questo tipo ?
Capabilitydetermination:Un esame, secondo regole formali, dei processi rispetto alla loro capacità di raggiungere un determinato obiettivo.

The Process Reference Model:
� Process Reference Model: a model comprising definitions of processes in a life cycle described in terms of process purpose and outcomes, together with an architecture describing the relationships between the processes (15504-1)
� ISO/IEC 15504-2 requires that processes included in a Process Reference Model satisfy the following:
– "The fundamental elements of a Process Reference Model are the set of descriptions of the processes within the scope of the model. These process descriptions shall meet the following requirements: a) A process shall be described in terms of its Purpose and Outcomes.
b) In any description the set of process outcomes shall be necessary and sufficient to achieve the purpose of the process.
c) Process descriptions shall be such that no aspects of the measurementframework as described in clause 5 of this International Standard beyond level 1 are contained or implied."

….Process outcome:
an observable result of a process (15504-1); expected positive results of the process performance (15504-5); an outcome statement describes one of the following:
– production of an artifact;
– a significant change of state;
– meeting of specified constraints, e.g. requirements, goals etc. (15504-2)

� ISO/IEC 15504-2:2003 defines the requirements forperforming process assessment as a basis for use in process improvement and capability determination.
� Process assessment is based on a two dimensionalmodel containing a process dimension and a capability dimension.
� The process dimension is provided by an externalprocess reference model, which defines a set ofprocesses characterized by statements of processpurpose and process outcomes.
� The capability dimension consists of a measurementframework comprising six process capability levelsand their associated process attributes.
� The assessment output consists of a set of processattribute ratings for each process assessed, termedthe process profile, and may also include the capability level achieved by that process.
ISO/IEC 15504-2
12
� ISO/IEC 15504-2:2003 identifies the measurementframework for process capability and the requirements for:
� performing an assessment; � process reference models; � process assessment models; � verifying conformity of process assessment.
� The requirements for process assessment defined in ISO/IEC 15504-2:2003 form a structure which:
� facilitates self-assessment; � provides a basis for use in process improvement and
capability determination; � takes into account the context in which the assessed process
is implemented; � produces a process rating; � addresses the ability of the process to achieve its purpose; � is applicable across all application domains and sizes of
organization; and may provide an objective benchmark between organizations.
� The minimum set of requirements defined in ISO/IEC 15504-2:2003 ensures that assessment results are objective, impartial, consistent, repeatable and representative of the assessed processes. Results ofconformant process assessments may be compared whenthe scopes of the assessments are considered to besimilar;.

PAM : PRM & MF 19
ISACA’s COBIT Assessment Programme
21
� The COBIT process programme is described in COBIT® Process Assessment Model (PAM): Using COBIT ® 5.
� PAM brings together two proven ‘heavyweights’ in the IT arena, ISO and ISACA.
� ISACA decided to adopt ISO/IEC 15504-2:2003 Information technology—Process assessment—Part 2: Performing an assessment, that support , among others, both the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the TreadwayCommission’s Internal Control—Integrated Framework and ITIL Version 3 assessments using the ISO approach.
� The COBIT PAM uses the existing COBIT 5 content : an ISO 15504 compliant process assessment model.

Left brain information processing = analytic/logical thinking = sequential processing
Generally, people with a left-brain dominance are sequential thinkers, analytics who like facts, details and logic. They tend to like their work areas neat and organised. They have perfect filing systems, always deal with one project at a time and are deadline-driven. Keeping lists of tasks to do is their favourite hobby, and if they complete something that’s not on their list, they are likely to add it just for the satisfaction of crossing it out. Analytics are the ones who know the price of eggs in the local dairy, hang up the toilet paper so that the straight part touches the wall, roll up the toothpaste tube and replace the cap. An analytic cook follows a recipe step by step, and if she runs out of an ingredient, she drives to the shops to replace it.
Right brain information processing = holistic/global thinking = simultaneous processing
Right-brained people, in contrast, are holistic multi-processors. They aren't interested in the nitty-gritty of issues. Instead, they need to know the overall picture, the reasons behind a project rather than its deadline. Piles of paper gather dust on their desks and office floor, yet they are able to find any document at a moment's notice. Holistics tend to use their intuition or feelings rather than rationalise about a problem. A holistic cook never ever keeps a shopping list, doesn't sticks to recipes and is happy to substitute milo for cocoa powder in her chocolate cake.

Process Attribute Rating Scale N Not achieved—0 to 15% achievement
There is little or no evidence of achievement of the defined attribute in the assessed process.
P Partially achieved—> 15% to 50% achievementThere is some evidence of an approach to, and some achievement of, the defined attribute in the assessed process. Some aspects of achievement of the attribute may be unpredictable.
L Largely achieved—> 50% to 85% achievement There is evidence of a systematic approach to, and significant achievement of, the defined attribute in the assessed process.Some weakness related to this attribute may exist in the assessed process.
F Fully achieved—> 85% to 100% achievement There is evidence of a complete and systematic approach to, and full achievement of, the defined attribute in the assessed process. No significant weaknesses related to this attribute exist in theassessed process.

� It should be noted that WPs for some processes provide higher capability requirements for other processes. This will result in a progressive implementation of processes.
� The initial focus on any process assessment would be the core (sometimes called primary) processes, which are primarily part of the BAI and DSS domains.
� Processes in the APO and MEA domains will be required to support improvement in the capability of these core processes past level 1.

� COBIT process assessment roles:• Lead assessor—a ‘competent’
assessor responsible for overseeing the assessment activities
• Assessor—an individual, developing assessor competencies, who performs the assessment activities
� Assessor competencies:• Knowledge, skills and experience:
• With the process reference model; process assessment model, methods and tools; and rating processes
• With the processes/domains being assessed
• Personal attributes that contribute to effective performance
Assessor Certification

� TheAssessor Guide has been enhanced to provide additional guidance on the available assessments using this approach and the value they deliver to the enterprise, as well as to enable those applying the approach to better understand and communicate effectively the limitations and potential expectation gap risk of the approach to the assessment sponsor.
� In addition, ISACA is working to develop and deliver related training that will lead to a certification in performing COBIT 5-based assessments using this approach. Since the approach stresses the need for competent assessors, such a certification will support assessment sponsors in identifying competent assessors. More news will be available regarding this new opportunity soon.
� Finally, having established a market capability for COBIT-based process capability assessments, in 2013, ISACA will examine market needs and opportunities to establish a COBIT-based enterprise certificate similar to other enterprise certifications (e.g., the CMMI SCAMPI, AICPA HITRUST assessment, ISO standards compliance reports). Further details will be announced once plans have been confirmed.
