Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Develop a project plan with the organisation highlighting the security activities and artefacts. Plan will likely include; Analysis of business requirements to produce a data map to understand the value of the information to be protected and the data attributes (e.g classification, impact of compromise, where it is hosted, how it is accessed, how it is protected). From the data map develop a risk based approach to identifying the optimal security objectives or security baseline. Work with implementation teams to define security controls to meet security objectives. Define security testing and manage production of any 'get well plan'. Develop the operational security activities to ensure security baseline is maintained. Document the security outcome in a security case highlighting the residual risks to be accepted by the business.

Training

Training service provided
Yes
How the training service works
In most cases where users interact with ICT systems there will be a set of user Security Operating Procedures (SyOPs). As part of a transition to cloud delivered services users must be trained in the SyOPs in order to maintain the security baseline. We can develop and deliver specific SyOP training to all users.

Equal opportunity

1. We will actively support diversity and inclusion and ensure that all our employees are valued and treated with dignity and respect. We want to encourage everyone in our business to reach their potential. 2. We recognise that discrimination is unacceptable and although equality of opportunity has been a long standing feature of our employment practices and procedure, we have made the decision to adopt a formal equality, inclusion and diversity policy. Breaches of the policy will lead to disciplinary proceedings and, if appropriate, disciplinary action. 3. The aim of the policy is to ensure no job applicant, employee or worker is discriminated against either directly or indirectly on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. 4. We will ensure that the policy is circulated to any agencies responsible for our recruitment and a copy of the policy will be made available for all employees and made known to all applicants for employment. 5. The policy will be communicated to all private contractors reminding them of their responsibilities towards the equality of opportunity. 6. The policy will be implemented in accordance with the appropriate statutory requirements and full account will be taken of all available guidance and in particular any relevant Codes of Practice. 7. We will maintain a neutral working environment in which no employee or worker feels under threat or intimidated.
