Request
I'm currently
doing some research on how sensitive information is controlled and
protected in the public sector. Under the Freedom of Information
Act, please
could you provide
contact details for the senior person responsible for your
organisation's Information Assurance? I'm specifically looking
for:
Name of
Person
Job Title
Department
Email Address
Telephone
This job is sometimes referred to as
Information Assurance Officer (IAO),
Senior
Information Risk Owner (SIRO) or Chief Information Security
Officer
(CISO).
On the other hand, I understand you may not
have somebody who
deals with this
exclusively but to help clarify where this sits in your
structure,
here is some
additional information on the role I'm talking about.
(From
Wikipedia:)
Information
assurance (IA) is the practice of managing information-related
risks. More specifically, IA practitioners seek to protect and
defend information and information systems by ensuring
confidentiality, integrity, authentication, availability, and
non-repudiation. These goals are relevant whether the information
are in storage, processing, or transit, and whether threatened by
malice or accident. In other words, IA is the process of ensuring
that authorized users have access to authorized information at the
authorized time.
Your help would
be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
