The Information Security Awareness process requires that all staff and contractors are periodically trained and assessed on their familiarity with Nasstar's ISO27001 Information Security policies and processes. Individual contracts and services will have a specific Security Plan defining the specific measures which will apply to the contract or service. All employees are responsible for Information Security and are trained in reporting suspected breaches to our IMS team who will identify risks and actions to minimise any such breaches.
