The Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) was launched on Monday 27th February 2006.
With strong backing from Government, industry and academia, it aims to set standards for professionalism in information security, as described in the blueprint for Information Security Professionalism laid down by the founders.
As a founding member, Atos Consulting welcomes the creation of the IISP. Prudent risk and security management are at the very heart of successful organisations and the IISP will provide a constructive forum to discuss some of the security issues facing organisations today, such as bridging the gap between human and digital identity.
Atos Consulting has a strong Security & Information Risk practice with over 200 experts in the UK. It is focused on delivering advice around six key areas: strategy; compliance; identity, access and biometrics; vulnerability; training; and business continuity. Customers include ABN Amro, CIMA, the International Olympic Committee, Network Rail, Police Federation and ZFS.
