Business Assurance

Most organisations are aware of the benefits of e-commerce, e-business, e-mail and the World Wide Web as essential business tools. They face the need to be able to communicate quickly, efficiently and securely 24 hours a day.

However, with this comes the need for assurance. Whether it’s clients, business partners or employees, everyone wants assurance that their corporate data is being stored and used in a secure and responsible manner.

Following 9/11, Information Managers across the UK began to realise how vital business continuity and contingency planning had become. Organisations are faced with the problem of ensuring their data is secure whilst at the same time making it constantly available. There are many factors involved with this process ranging from legislation such as DPA or FOIA to requirements set by governing bodies such as the FSA or indeed central Government.

Sapphire realises the importance of Business Assurance for organisations in all sectors and provides a range of consultancy services to aid businesses protect their corporate data. These range from basic perimeter security such Firewalls, Content Security and Anti-Spam through to assistance with policies and procedures including report writing and consultancy for compliance to industry best standards such as ISO/IEC 27001.

There is no doubt that e-commerce affects every business, and, coupled with the protection of information, every organisation will need to find ways of making their business successful in a secure and reliable way.
