information assurance. delivered.
The information security challenges facing IT professionals continue to grow and evolve. IT security in the early 1990's was relatively simple. Data was stored on mainframes, access control was limited and the need to share data was very limited. Today the rules have changed. More data is needed to be shared, access to data is required from almost anywhere and the need to secure that data has grown through regulation and legislation. The user population is much more technical now, and the Internet boom has enabled an increasing number of people to be able to cause more trouble than ever.
Information assurance is business critical. For many organisations, the data they own is their key asset. Without their computer networks, many organisations would simply cease to function.
GSS has been in the business of securing corporate data since the mid-nineties and have a full understanding of a client's business and their requirements. The needs of a major high street bank vary from those of a hotel chain, which are different again from those of a county council or hospital trust. Each will have their own regulations and policies which need to be complied with. Information security standards, such as ISO 27001, provide frameworks to base policy upon. However there are many other issues to be considered. Not least budget and ensuring a return on investment.
