5.0 out of 5 stars Applying Information Security "best practices"
Author Pat Howard delivers the goods on this one. He finds an effective middle ground between producing an overview/survey and getting bogged down in the nuances and details. If you are charged with implementing an information security program and getting your IT systems certified and accredited, this is a good place to start!

1.0 out of 5 stars dated material
This book is hard to follow primarily due to the author's labored writing style. Lots of DITSCAP information but no one really uses DITSCAP anymore.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs to be updated for current exams, November 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Building and Implementing a Security Certification and Accreditation Program: OFFICIAL (ISC)2 GUIDE to the CAPcm CBK ((ISC)2 Press) (Hardcover)
This was one of my resources when I did the exam prior to the changes made earlier this year to the certification and accreditaion professional (CAP) exam. This book needs to be updated to reflect the changes in the exam. Even before the exam changes, the book helped with understanding how C&A is viewed from another person's perspective which may not always be what is practiced. The best preparation for the CAP exam is to be knowledgeable of the various NIST guidelines - SP 800-53, 30, etc. and have a good C&A background to rely on.
