The ISE® Southeast Awards are held in conjunction with a one day Executive Forum which includes keynote speakers, interactive roundtables moderated by the CISOs and VPs of participating companies, and hot topic panel discussions.

PCI Compliance Remediation – Post-merger
Executive Sponsor: Shaun Hunt, Vice President, IT Governance, The American Cancer Society
Project Team: Michelle Stewart, Brian Livingston, and Linda Nelms.
Location: Atlanta, GA
The American Cancer Society merged 12 chartered Division organizations with the National Home Office organization in late 2012. Prior to this official merger, there were various credit card handling processes and multiple PCI Compliance attestations from the disparate organizations. With no centralized governance, these processes and attestations were inconsistent. As one organization, ACS undertook multiple Society-wide projects to reduce PCI scope and risk and prepare for a single, onsite PCI audit in late Q2 2013.

Location: Atlanta, GA
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (FRBA) identified the need for a system that would allow members of the Board of Directors to share and collaborate on sensitive documents. The Enterprise Board Portal Project devised a solution to provide board members with the ability to securely view meetings, agendas, logistical information and restricted documents electronically from their own devices. The project scope included the development of system functionality for secure login and download of classified documents to the Board members’ personal devices while the documents are still encrypted.
