Information Security


Protecting vital organisational information has become the greatest challenge facing today’s information technology (IT) professional.

Businesses and organisations often embrace IT innovations that improve performance or increase market share without considering or realising the additional risks inherent in those innovations.

With more than 30 years experience providing information security services to both government and industry CSC can help its clients avoid the pitfalls and business risks that arise as new threats and technologies evolve. CSC is one of only five authorised security technology evaluation laboratories within the United States under the National Information Assurance Partnership.

Security Policies, Practices and Procedures. CSC engineers and analysts are adept at translating client and regulatory security requirements into policy mandates and distilling those mandates into implementation practices and procedures that ensure an appropriate balance between performance and protection.

That balance is achieved through implementation of an Information Risk Management Program (IRMP) - our standard model for defining, operating, and measuring the security and information risk management services delivered to a client.

IRMP activities embody mature security best practices that support constant improvement and the programme’s delivery philosophy permits customisation and acceleration of implementation depending on your risk needs. It provides a structure for the combination of people, processes, and technology necessary to implement and sustain an effective IRMP.

Security Assessments. These are critical to ensure the adequacy and ongoing effectiveness of the measures that have been implemented to protect the enterprise. CSC’s assessment tool – HEAT – ensures that every assessment, regardless of scope, focus, or business/operational circumstances, delivers reliable, repeatable results.

Whether CSC assists with an initial baseline assessment or a post-event computer forensics examination of an incident, you are assured a comprehensive product that can be used with complete confidence as a basis for security-related decision making and as a baseline for ongoing security management and measurement.


Whether in e-commerce or national defense, protecting vital organisational information has become the greatest challenge facing today's information technology (IT) professional. Learn more about our IT Security capability.
