Seminar

Auditing E-Commerce Infrastructures

A Step-by-Step Approach to Identifying Risks and Evaluating Controls in an EC Environment

Presented by Mark Williams of MIS Training Institute

Seminar Focus and Features: This two-day seminar takes an in-depth look at the environmental controls necessary to effectively and securely operate an electronic commerce business. You will begin with an intensive review of the hardware and network infrastructure, and examine typical IT controls vs. those required for an e-commerce structure. Using class exercises, you will identify the new business and audit risks unleashed by EC technologies and analyze the new requirements for successfully maintaining and implementing EC infrastructures. You will explore the design and implementation of effective internal control systems that will mitigate these risks and you will benefit from infrastructure strategies that have been successfully implemented in the real world. You will learn how to assess and document inherent risk within your organization, and master strategies that will help you conduct audits of EC infrastructure implementation, operation and change management.
