- How the support service works
- C3IA provides TSCM assessments to provide physical assurance to existing cloud hosting environments. As physical hosting environments change or undergo work services, a TSCM assessment provides the assurance that the existing environment remains secure. A TSCM assessment strengthens and reinforces the physical and technical security of your data hosting environment. It may also be used to provide assurance that your hosting infrastructure, such as power and cabling services, is not introducing additional threat vectors into your cloud services. Our TSCM team are members of the TSCM Institute and have undergone training from UK NACE, the National Technical Authority for TSCM.
