Information Assurance
Horrific events like the September 11th terrorists attacks or the 2005 hurricane season that brought devastation to America’s Gulf Coast remind us how dependent we are on technology and information systems. Because technology is so pervasive — whether used for person–to-person communications or to coordinate multi-jurisdictional life-saving services for thousands of people — it is no longer a convenience or an element of efficiency; it is essential.
Seamless, risk-based approach.
Honed by two decades of risk-management experience, IEM’s approach to information assurance is a seamless merger of disaster recovery planning, critical infrastructure protection, and emergency management. Our information integrity solutions look at the probability of a threat, the impact of its consequences, and the costs—both monetary and otherwise— to eliminate or reduce the threat. This risk-based perspective addresses the full spectrum of disasters and demonstrates how services can be better delivered during normal operations as well as how layers of protection can be added for disaster prevention and recovery.
IEM information assurance services include:
- Vulnerability Assessments/Risk Assessments.
- Business Continuity Planning & Continuity of Government (COOP)/Continuity of Government (COG) Planning.
- Information Security Planning & Policy Support.
- System Monitoring & Intrusion Detection.
