- Essential Reading for Security Professionals
Absolutely one of the top books on my reading list. A great source of information. This is an excellent book for use in the work place or in the classroom!!! Don't pass it up if you are in or are thinking of getting into the IT Security field.

- Not good for the CISA exam
I bought this book as an additional material to study for the CISA exam. However it didn't help me with the exam at all.

On top of that, it misses very sensitive topics like disaster recovery planning.

If you are looking for CISA review material for the test, I would strongly suggest to stick with ISACA's combination of review manual and questions CD. I also searched everywhere for study aids for this grueling test and ended up using ISACA's expensive material, but it proved to be the best choice as I passed the Dec 2006 test.

- Finally a usable explanation of controls!
Audit is not the most exciting topic in the world, but this no fluff book really sets the standard. The care the authors took is obvious from the start, the table of contents is one of the most detailed I have ever seen, it allows the book to be used as a reference.

My favorite chapter was Quality Management, best job of making quality approachable I have seen to date. My least favorite was Project Management, it seemed to lack the application and lean to theory a bit.
