Have you ever started a programme with the perception that Information Assurance is a painful and cumbersome burden, a major risk that adds cost, stress and late delivery to any programme?
Let's face it, if it's not well managed, it can be. Badly managed Information Assurance (IA) has the potential to leave your programme in tatters. It needn't be like that. Thales provides a unique Information Assurance Service that will deliver well managed IA into programmes, increasing programme confidence, reducing risk, cost and timescale overruns too.
Thales knows that security can drive a large number of the risks to your programme and we know that Information Assurance is more than just the confidentiality of your information; CSIA defined it formally as part of the Information Assurance Governance Framework by stating that "Information Assurance is the confidence that information systems will protect the information they handle and will function as they need to, when they need to, under the control of legitimate users" and that "Information risk management must be seen as an essential business function and not just a technical issue".
Because we understand Information Assurance, and having recognised the benefits of managing IA for many years on our internal programmes, Thales has consolidated the best of its systems, products and services offerings to create a service that we can tailor such that it will solve the IA questions for our customers, for you.
Thales is your true, life-long, Information Assurance partner, joining with you, our customers, from concept and even pre-concept phases of a programme. Thales IA Services will remain steadfast by your side throughout the whole programme life-cycle, from design to accreditation, from integration to managed operations, right through to disposal at the very end of the systems' life.
