Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) and the Information Systems Audit and
Control Foundation (ISACF) have published a report entitled
"E-commerce Security Enterprise Best Practices."

The report is the result of worldwide survey of professionals in 46
locations, including Hong Kong, over a period of six months.

The report is an effort to address the security, control and audit
issues involved in e-commerce.

The recent Love Bug e-mail attack and increasing malevolence of
e-mail-transmitted viruses have highlighted the work of DTT and ISACF,
which have now completed the second of a joint four-stage research
project to evaluate online security and define best practices.

It establishes a framework for business managers in setting out the
principles in business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C)
e-commerce security and implementation within individual
organizations, under any IT platform or environment.

The report gives insight into protecting data, maintaining
confidentiality, confirming identities, controlling system changes,
detecting unauthorized intrusions and handling denial of service
attacks.

The practice guidelines include digital signatures, policy and
governance and privacy.
