Security
Introduction
An organisation's security is paramount in today's technology-invasive world. More and more of our most important assets; our people, clients and information are being compromised by the out-of-date security technology and users not being provided with adequate training on the relevant policies and procedures.
How Will We Help You?
Strategic Consulting Team provides both Information Security Consulting & Training services. These services include security audits and reviews, AS7799 policy development, application reviews, risk assessment, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. Strategic Consulting Team also has strong practice areas providing complementary services including business continuity, ITIL, project management and storage.
Achieving AS 7799 compliance is the most effective way for an organisation to demonstrate both internally and to others that it has effective information security in place. AS 7799.2 is supported by over 500 security countermeasures, detailed in ISO 17799, and is also identical to BS 7799, to which over 230 organisations are certified worldwide, principally in Europe and SE Asia .
Strategic Consulting Team can develop a compliance programme tailored to your organisation's needs, or assist in any aspect of this. Strategic Consulting Team's recommended methodology includes the following activities:
- Scoping studies, to identify a suitable scope for implementation of the ISMS;
- Gap Analysis, to identify the existing security arrangements within the organization and their status in relation to AS 7799 requirements;
- Risk Assessment, to justify additional countermeasures that may be necessary, linked to the business needs;
- Developing a Security Improvement Programme, a managed programme that puts the ISMS and all the identified security controls in place;
- Writing the Statement of Applicability, a specific document that describes the relevance of each of the AS 7799 controls to the organization; and
- Guidance on demonstrating compliance to others and preparing for formal certification.
Strategic Consulting Team also offers a ½ day introductory seminar to AS 7799 and ISO 17799 and a 2 day course offering comprehensive practical guidance on the implementation of AS 7799 and the ISMS.
