INFORMATION ASSURANCE

Why is this service required?

“75 percent of intellectual property thefts are perpetrated by employees”
- U.S. Secret Service

Information and communications technology is changing the way that the public, the private sector and the third sector deliver services, allowing organisations and individuals to connect in more varied ways than ever before.

Information is a valuable asset that must be safeguarded which corporates and the public want to be certain that it is held securely, maintained accurately, available when necessary and used appropriately.

As cyber criminals move from targeting credit cards details to corporations, organisations, and the companies they do business with, need to have confidence that information systems they have in place will protect the information they handle and will function as they need to, when they need to, under the control of legitimate users.
