Issue 38 - Purpose of TGF, Line 127

Joe:

Thanks for this. This new issue is open for comment.

Colin has already noted that:

“I understand and appreciate the sentiment, but a 'business case' for adoption of a particular standard is not easily quantifiable. Somewhere in my archives I have a business case for adopting ISO 27001/27002 ISMS which we can refer to when we get to this (later). Case studies may well be a better 'sales tool'. Either way, I see both of these things, stretching this Primer out farther than intended. And I'm not sure we will bring the audience with us if we stretch the Primer to more than its current 55 pages, if we add yet another Part right now.

It's definitely a candidate for later work tho'.”

Other comments?

Subject: [tgf] New Issue: Purpose. Line 127 Conceptual

Line 127: Why should a government seek to conform to a “how to” standard such as the TGF? What benefits accrue as a result of their efforts to meet the specifics of the standard? We should take our own advice and have a clear business case for adhering to this standard. Can someone provide insight?
