I took a call recently with Ken Peterson, President and CEO of Churchill & Harriman, to discuss his experiences helping customers implement ISO 27001.

Ken founded Churchill & Harriman in 1982, and the company helps clients develop and implement controls and procedures that identify, value, and mitigate business risk.
