- How the setup or migration service works
- This service allows organisations who have procured services via the Digital Marketplace, or who are using cloud hosted software, infrastructure or platforms, to gain independent analysis and information security assurance regarding the governance and controls that are in place to protect these services and systems. Such assurance is vital for cloud based services which possess specific security considerations due to their on-demand, remotely accessible and multi-tenanted attributes.
