Before every IT Vital Systems Review, I always ask the executives what having the audit will mean to them. The majority of the responses say something like, “I will sleep better at night.” The one I received today says “security provides peace of mind.”

That sounds like a good way to sum up things like “help protect the company from lawsuits, adhere to regulations, provide job security for employees, and protect our customer’s best interests.” Lots of people sleep better at night.
