Information Assurance

Information Assurance (IA) covers the management of risk associated with the use, processing, storage and transmission of information or data and the systems and processes used for these purposes. The full range of IA encompasses not only digital information but also those data presented in an analogue or physical form.

The success of government, business and military operations depends now, more than ever, upon the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information to influence and support critical decision making in any scenario or environment. Assuring the security of that information remains vital to maintaining the national interest.

IA is now a critical issue for governments and businesses as they wrestle with the problems of external and internal network attack, cyber terrorism, and regulatory compliance requirements.

The complexity of modern information systems, coupled with the ever-growing threat from increasingly diverse sources, drives the need for robust Information Architectures and designs. System security architectures and associated controls and procedures are a crucial foundation for developing resilient solutions to support your business.
