The Issue
Organizations serious
about tackling the issue of information
security need an integrated approach
addressing the way that people
work, the procedures that are
used as well as the technologies
to
be deployed. Many organizations
have focused primarily on the
technology piece of this equation,
without addressing the "people
and process" bits. This is
a virtually guaranteed recipe
for continuing to encounter ongoing
security incidents.
If your investment in technology
is to be properly supported
by processes and behaviors,
there
needs to be a fully documented
set of policies and procedures
that drive the day-to-day information
security strategy of the organization.
The issue with this is that
policy development is incredibly
time consuming, not to mention
daunting. Many organizations
make the commitment to start
producing policies and procedures
internally, but end up with
a half-finished and unusable
document as operational duties
get in the way of policy development
effort.
What To Do
SafeComs experience in the area
of policy development means
that we have a ready made library
of thousands of individual policies.
After first working with you
to understand your business,
your specific IT challenges
and the day-to-day procedures
of your IT operations, SafeComs
take the information from this
library, and customize it to
suit your needs.
The resulting policies and
procedures will be carefully
balanced so as to make them
comprehensive, and useable at
the same time. SafeComs pride
ourselves on our ability to
understand the requirements
of our clients and on integrating
these requirements into the
end set of policies and procedures.
Of course, policies and procedures
are only useful if they are
fully implemented and strictly
adhered to. For this reason,
SafeComs works with our clients
to develop an implementation
plan for new policies, being
sure to target the most important
gaps between the current practice
of the client, and the documented
requirement of the policies
and procedures first.
