The combination of increasing reliance on IT infrastructure and proliferation in the number of communication technologies used by businesses means that both the risk and the potential costs associated with an attack or other security breach are escalating.
Clearly, organisations need to pay greater attention to the security of their systems and data. Our consultants can provide assessments and plan improvement programmes based around international standards and government best practice recommendations. The Logic Group has an enviable track record in the field of information and system security, having assisted many blue-chip organisations with their security requirements. The Logic Group understands that improved IT security does not lie in deployment of a new technical solution but in a holistic approach based on corporate culture, security policies, architectural standards, procedures and technologies. The group can also offer a range of security solutions and outsourced services, covering such areas as network management, encryption, firewalls and payer authentication.
| Examples of some of the security-related consultancy we provide include: |
• |

Preparing organisations for PCI and BS7799 Certification |

All public sector organisations are required to comply with BS7799, which is also increasingly established as a pre-requisite for preferred supplier status to government organisations.
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard has been developed by Visa and MasterCard to restore consumer confidence in card payments. Merchants that do not comply with the standard face the prospect of substantial fines imposed by the card schemes in the order of hundreds of thousands of pounds or be permanently barred from the card acceptance programme. As the UK market leader for integrated card processing systems, The Logic Group has unrivalled expertise in both card payments and security.
