Waters Edge supports the Internet Security Alliance [note, this should link to the ISA description under Alliances, not to their website] in its work to improve corporate information security.  Our team produces publications for the Internet Security Alliance that focus on the contracting practices required to advance effective information security. 

Released in 2005, this publication:

provides a roadmap of the business issues of data security—a strategic outline that enables discussion and dialogue about the steps required to address security requirements in commercial transactions.

presents a glossary of model terms to be employed in commercial agreements—precise definitions that provide a shared vocabulary for discussing security issues internally and with business partners.

delivers a detailed set of model contract terms and provisions for expressing security controls in complex data service agreements, focusing on the protection of personal information.

Jeffrey Ritter served as the Reporter for the development and authorship of this book.
