Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S7:E7 - IT Audits In A Government Environment with Ray Roberts and David Mills
Q: Why is NIST favored for governmental IT audits?
NIST is free, widely adopted, continually updated, and can be customized to fit the specific scope of a governmental entity, providing a flexible foundation for assessing controls across departments and applications.
S7:E7 - IT Audits In A Government Environment with Ray Roberts and David Mills
Q: How does CRI approach IT audits for government entities?
CRI emphasizes scoping the audit to the most critical areas (finance, HR, IT operations) and using a specified scope approach rather than a full-blown entity-wide audit. They rely on established frameworks like NIST, FFIEC, and NAIC to tailor testing, often perform virtual testing to reduce travel, and assemble a lean, experienced team to deliver timely results.
S7:E7 - IT Audits In A Government Environment with Ray Roberts and David Mills
Q: What kind of problems are governments having nowadays in the cybersecurity area?
The main challenges are funding for IT controls and monitoring, making it hard to detect and respond to cyber events, with social engineering consistently being the top risk across sectors, followed by issues around banking access and privilege escalation in government systems.
S6:E2 - GASB and Small Governments
Q: Dean, can you give us background on your experience with GASB and why you're a resource on small government issues?
Dean explains his long tenure with GASB staff and his transition to CRI, highlighting his firsthand exposure to the standard-setting process and the importance of understanding small government concerns in research and deliberations.
