Helping you achieve your Corporate Governance, Enterprise Risk Management, and Compliance objectives 

 

IASME Governance

Introduced by the IASME consortium and backed by the UK Government. This standard provides an affordable and achievable route for businesses of all sizes to demonstrate the maturity of their information security practices and processes. It is an approved alternative to ISO 27001

The IASME Governance certification, now relaunched as IASME Cyber Assurance, assesses your information security, processes, and GDPR readiness.

Cyber Essentials certification is a pre-requisite. The assessment and certification process enables you to demonstrate that you take information security seriously. Achieving certification can also qualify UK domiciled businesses with a turnover of less than £20 Million to receive Cyber liability Insurance

IASME Cyber Assurance Audited (Gold)

Organisations seeking to attain IASME Governance Audited must first become certified to the level of IASME self-assessed

The assessment process for IASME Governance Audited involves onsite verification of the responses provided including a combination of staff interviews, configuration assessments and documentation review

Passing the onsite audit allows the Cyber essentials audited (Gold) certification to be granted. Certification is maintained by submitting an annual online self-assessment for the first two years of the cycle followed by a full audit at the end of the third year

Our IASME Governance pre-assessment, preparation and audit assistance services at 1Alpha, help organisations to pass first time and maintain their certification

ISO 27001

The ISO 27001 international standard provides the specification for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard covers people, processes and technology and helps organisations manage their security practices and protect themselves through risk management procedures

Working towards the ISO 27001 standard can help organisations to comply with laws and regulations such as GDPR and NIS while maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of their information resources

Our consultants at 1Alpha can help you to define the scope of your ISMS, assess your state of readiness, prepare for assessment, protect your Information assets, and increase your resilience to cyber-attacks

 

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDRP) together with the data protection act 2018 gives data subjects greater control over how their personal data is processed by organisations

The GDPR principles require that personal data should only be collected in a fair and transparent manner, gathering only sufficient information to fulfil the legitimate purpose. The data gathered should be accurate and up to date, confidentiality should be maintained and the data should be retained only for as long as needed to fulfil the legitimate purpose. Accountability must be provided throughout

Our GDPR services assist with the identification of personal data sources and repositories and help promote engagement with key business functions to ensure that data governance, risk management and compliance controls are effective throughout the enterprise
