The Risk Advisory Group today announced the launch of its new System Assurance service, which will allow companies to protect their information and data more effectively. This service has been developed in response to several recent high profile cases of data insecurity and Risk Advisory’s experience of investigating IT security issues.

System Assurance provides support in securing IT networks to ISO27001 standards. The team of experienced Lead Auditors will provide analysis of threats and vulnerabilities, and recommend appropriate levels of security.

Bob Lewis, Manager of Information Risk Management, a division of The Risk Advisory Group said:

“Criminals are rapidly becoming more sophisticated, so it is no surprise that more risk managers are focussing on the vulnerable interface of information, systems and people.  With IT systems constantly under attack, the nature of networks being in a constant state of change and staff often unaware of their responsibilities; system assurance should rank amongst one of the most important risk functions within any organisation. Notwithstanding the operational requirements, recent data loss cases have shown that an organisation that fails to protect its information may be in breach of regulations and be vulnerable to litigation through data protection laws’’
