Many public-sector organizations want to align with the ITIL v3 Service Delivery Model, and also have goals or mandates to improve information risk management by aligning with various information security frameworks. Far from being separate or complementary goals, improvements in service delivery and reduction of information security risk are tightly linked, as this presentation will outline. The presentation will focus on Service Transition due to the frequent introduction of information risk through poorly-managed service changes and the many opportunities for improvement of service delivery and reduction of information risk through effective service transition management. The presentation will delineate the interdependence of service management and information risk management, identify the key service transition control points for improved service delivery and risk reduction, and will include Service Transition process maps, which we will make available to attendees.
