Abstract :
´BE PREPARED´. Every good scout knows it, but it would also serve as a handy motto for IT professionals. Compliance is now a big issue, but not everyone who works in IT believes it is relevant for them to have a useful level of knowledge in this field. It is, they say, for ´management´ to deal with. However, in truth, everyone can benefit from understanding even just the basics of what each new compliance means for industry.
