Why?
Central Government departments with a regulatory requirement to conform to the UK Government’s Security Policy Framework (SPF) have to consider Information Assurance in the procurement and ongoing management of Information Systems.
What?
Ascentor’s CLAS consultants de-risk procurement and ongoing management of technology based systems. We are engaged by Central Government in a variety of roles:
- Internal CLAS Consultants/Security Assurance Coordinators SACs
- Department Accreditor – independent review of information risks
- Independent Information Assurance Maturity Model IAMM Audits
How?
Ascentor’s dedicated team has a background in government security and extensive experience in a variety of Information Assurance disciplines including Risk Management, Audit, Accreditation, Project Management, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. We specialise in the provision of bespoke advice to public sector organisations and departments that have very high value and sensitive information assets.
The Ascentor consultant was diligent and very professional. The manner in which he executed his duties and ensured everyone was kept informed at all stages of the project was exemplary. We need more consultants with the same attitude towards Accreditation!
