CLAS Consultancy
As we continue to move towards a fully ‘joined up’ Government, the demands on government and non-governmental bodies to prove information is appropriately protected are increasing. Any system carrying, storing or transmitting protectively marked data requires accreditation against HMG standards. This applies whether you are a public sector organisation or a third party supplier handling the data. The necessity to safeguard personal data has also become paramount and specific government guidelines must now be followed.
With HMG Standards and the Security Policy Framework now more closely aligned to ISO 27002 our information security expertise enables a fully holistic service.
Services available to you include:
- Annual IAS6 Audits for the Protection of Personal Data specifically required by Central Government and its suppliers;
- Development of Risk Management and Accreditation Document Sets (RMADS);
- Risk Assessment & Treatment Planning following IS1 Parts 1&2;
- RMADS Reviews;
- Security Policy Framework (SPF) Compliance Reviews;
- Security Infrastructure Design Advice and Guidance;
- Codes of Connection Reviews;
- CAPS Product Evaluation Advice & Guidance.
Services are delivered by approved CESG Listed Advisor Scheme (CLAS) Consultants with a minimum SC security clearance. In addition we can provide one of the UK’s first CESG trained CLAS Consultants in auditing against IAS6 – the new HMG standard for the securing personal data.
We have many years experience in providing information assurance and accreditation services to both local and central government, Police, NHS, NDGB’s and NGO’s and are fully conversant with HMG guidelines and associated regulatory and legislative requirements.
