Factsheet Information and Network Security 13/12/2005

Managing information risk within a governance framework

Every information-dependant organisation needs to control and minimise the risks to its information assets just as it does with all its other business assets. Yet few individuals responsible for such critically important data have the training and experience needed to identify information risks or to successfully introduce the controls to manage them costeffectively.

Risk Assessment Workshops from ISC ~ one of the UK's leading IT solutions providers ~ are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the key information assets upon which your business relies. We can show you how to value your business information and the consequences of allowing sensitive data into the wrong hands. You will gain better knowledge of your information's reliability, and how compliant it is with current and future regulations and legislation.

You will also become better placed to manage, as part of your overall business governance framework, the ever-changing risks to your information assets ~ all with the assurance that your IT investments are delivering the best possible value for money.
