Information Security
Information security protects your business information from a wide range of threats in order to:
- Ensure your business continuity
- Minimise your business damage
- Maximise your return on investment and business opportunities.
Your information should always be appropriately protected in whichever form it takes:
- printed;
- written;
- electronic;
- and spoken.
Information security is characterised by the preservation of:
- Confidentiality: ensuring that your information is accessible only to those authorised to have access
- Integrity: safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of your information and processing methods
- Availability: ensuring that authorised users have access to your information and associated assets when required.
ContinuitySA provides your company with an information security framework by implementing a suitable set of controls:
- policies;
- practices;
- procedures;
- organisational structures; and
- software functions.
Your company needs these controls in order to ensure its specific security objectives.
