"Say What You Do," is a new book released by Schaser-Vartan Books’.  What sets the book apart is its candidly practical approach, focusing on creating policies that really work rather than pushing theories that break down in the real world.

    Co-author and attorney Marcelo Halpern, stated: “Armed with this book, you should be able to lead a policy development project at your company from the ground up and from the top down without losing your mind. Say What You Do" is heralded as the definitive guide to process documentation for IT professionals, walking readers through each step they need to write, edit, and present policies, standards, and procedures at their own organization."

    Dan Swanson, internal audit veteran and CEO of Swanson and Associates, stated: “This is one of the most practical, easy-to-read books on creating a control framework, policies, standards, and procedures that I’ve read. It lets me clear out a whole shelf of old books on policy and procedures in one fell swoop.

Rebecca Herold, co-author and one of the Net’s top bloggers on security and compliance issues, added: “It never sinks into legalese or technobabble as so many other books about IT policies do. It’s incredibly easy to read and reference.”

The varied experiences and approaches of its three authors: Dorian Cougias, Marcelo Halpern, and Rebecca Herold are presented in this book. Together they show the most current and applicable legal, privacy, and IT security perspectives on process documentation, surpassing previous books in the field that addressed only one.

"Say What You Do: Building a framework of IT controls, policies, standards, and procedures" is available in bookstores and for download directly from the website www.saywhatyoudo.com. It is the second volume in Schaser-Vartan’s new Unified Compliance Framework series.
