We are increasingly dependent on fragile IT systems for our livelihood and safety.

Recent events have brought security issues and concerns to the forefront.

• Do you understand your IT Security exposure?
• Have you been able to identify and complete coverage of all areas of threat?
• Do you know what areas to look at?

A Review against the ISO 17799 international standard for IT Security will help you identify the areas to minimise your risk and cover the issues in accordance with worlds best practice.

Clark Integrated Technology is pleased to offer a quick look review of your IT Systems Security against the International Standard ISO/AS 17799 to establish your current situation.

This one day review process produces a report showing your compliance against the standard, and a detailed list of recommendations covering the following areas:

1          Security Policy
2          Computer and Network Management
3          Asset Classification and Control
4          System Development and Maintenance
5          Security Organisation
6          System Access Control
7          Legislative and Legal Compliance
8          Physical and Environmental Security
9          Personnel Security
10         Business Continuity Planning

As information security incidents and risk factors continue to escalate, many organisations seek to protect their corporate computing environments and electronic business relationships through compliance with generally accepted information security standards.

Although there is no shortage of such voluntary standards in the marketplace, particularly in the United States, the British BS 7799 security standard has gained significant attention recently and has as a result been accepted in entirety as an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 17799:2000 Information Technology - Code of practice for information security management").

Since its debut several years ago, BS 7799 has been increasingly well received by business and industry in the UK and commonwealth countries. Recent adoption as the international standard has further extended its reception world-wide, leading to informal espousal by government and the financial services industry in certain regions of Asia, as well as a movement toward informal adoption by the energy and utilities industry internationally and demonstrates due diligence from a corporate governance perspective.
