Mini-track Description
Information security control systems are most effective when framed within an organization that has structured governance and mature implementations to manage risk and assure compliance with internal and external mandates for security and privacy of information. Widely recognized as Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (or GRC), this area of study within the broader privacy and information security landscape seeks to address the increasing importance of activities associated with fulfilling directives for stakeholder alignment, interoperation of security governance with corporate governance, trends in governance approaches such as convergence of security functionality, issues in information security leadership, development in risk management models and practices, as well as issues of compliance to regulatory or ethical obligations.

This mini track seeks to solicit research from those research areas including, but not limited to: a) Developments in enterprise information security governance structures and practices, b) Issues with effective risk management, c) Emerging practices and approaches to enterprise compliance as well as ongoing research into information security policy management.

Authors are encouraged to submit original research that pertains to but not limited to the following areas:

Developments in governance of information security practices
Issues of leadership roles in information security organizations
Development in the implementation of effective risk management
Emergent issues of risk assessment and risk management for automated systems environments
Trends and practices in information security and privacy compliance

User involvement in the development and implementation of security policies
