Seven Steps to Effective Data Governance
Creating a framework to ensure the confidentiality, quality, and integrity of data – the core meaning of data governance – is essential to meet both internal and external requirements, such as financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and privacy policies. At its best, data governance roots out risk – both business and compliance risk – by increasing oversight. This white paper provides seven steps for taking such an approach, concluding with a real world example, taking an incremental approach using a repeatable framework that is a practical, proven strategy that any size organization can implement to suit their immediate and long-term needs and budget. -

Ms Rattray is a plagiarist and hence a fraud.
I wrote on this topic three years ago now (http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/2008/06/tisk-tisk-tisk.html).
Her feeble excuse for fraudulently stating the writings as her own was that she had planned to add a reference later. Really? Adding a reference when more than half the article has been stolen and fraudulently promoted as her own? For that matter, would not the adding of a reference have been better justified BEFORE publication? If you have been published for three months and have not made an attempt to update a document, does that not seem as if you have basically intended to fraudulently promote it as your own?

This issue was resolved in 2008 as a matter of an error in attribution by my professional body. I feel it a great shame that as you still seem to have an issue about this matter that you did not contact me directly so that we could discuss it and have the matter clarfied for you.

Can you clarify what the error in attribution was? Did ISACA inadvertently print an article by you with Erik Guldentops' name on it, or did (In)Secure inadvertently print an article by Erik Guldentops with your name on it? Given that the ISACA version is still online and the (In)Secure one has been removed, it would seem to be the latter....
Jim Lippard
I've partly answered my own question. The ISACA article (as well as another article, attributed to its editor, Paul Williams, "Information Security Governance," Information Security Technical Report, vol. 6, issue 3, 1 September 2001, pp. 60-70, online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S1363-4127(01)00309-0), is derived from a July 2001 document from the IT Governance Institute, titled Information Security Governance: Guidance for Boards of Directors and Executive Management, available from www.itgi.org. Guldentops wrote the synopsis and was a contributing subject matter expert to the volume.
