What is information security?

Information or data exists in many forms and is no longer limited to paper-based records in filing cabinets. In our increasingly digital world, vast amounts of data are gathered, processed, stored and transmitted all across the globe every second of every day. In both physical and electronic form, data is subject to an increasing range of threats and vulnerabilities, all of which can affect its Confidentiality, Integrity or Availability. The proactive management of risks to information assets (and supporting assets upon which they depend - such as premises, hardware, software, cloud services, etc) is one of the key reasons for implementing an Information Security Management System.

​

We've helped more than thirty organisations to design and implement an effective Information Security Management System, and proceed to successful ISO 27001 certification following assessment by an independent audit body. Our range of services includes:
