| Most organisations are subject to some form of IT Security regulation be it Government, Statutory or Industry specific.
From the Data Protection Act (DPA), Payment Card Industry (PCI), CoCo / GCSx and the UK Government Protective Marking System (GPMS), failure to comply can be extremely damaging - and costly.
At the core of much of this regulation lies the need to properly identify, mark and protect sensitive data. When information is not classified or marked, users may not even be aware of what information CAN be officially shared and the organisation is left exposed.
Janus solutions help to secure electronic boundaries through classification of emails, documents and other electronic data, enabling organisations of any size and type not only to comply with regulations, but also to enable other benefits of policy based information management.
Janus provides a solution for the requirements of;
- Government Connect Secure Extranet (GCSx), Code of Connection (CoCo)
CoCo v 4.1 introduces requirements for labelling e-mails with protective markings. Control 23.1 requires the mail client or user to add security labels to each email that carries a protective marking of PROTECT or higher.
- Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI)
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a worldwide information security standard created to help organisations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud through increased controls around data. Merchants risk losing their ability to process credit card payments and being audited and/or fined up to £100,000 for non-compliance.
- UK Data Protection Act (DPA)
The UK Data Protection Act requires all public and private organisations to comply with certain principles to protect any personal information they hold. The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has legal powers to ensure that organisations comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Act. In April 2010, the ICO was given new powers in relation to the Act, which include the power to issue a £500,000 fine and to perform spot checks on government departments.
- UK Government Protective Marking System (GPMS)
All UK Government & public sector organisations must comply with Her Majesty's Government (HMG) Security Policy Framework, which requires the application of the Government Protective Marking System (GPMS) to documents and email messages.
ISO27001 is an Information Security Management System standard which formally specifies a management system that is intended to bring information security under explicit management control, and includes classification and labelling.
