Compliance and Accreditation

Network security has become a priority within public sector authorities as they confront mounting compliance requirements such as FIA, DPA and GCSx CoCo, and tackle a host of e-crime threats.
The adoption of shared services as well as the increasing complexity of threats creates a demand for increasingly vigorous security management and support processes, accreditation and technical expertise.

Updata provides secure networks and employs the required processes for achieving and complying with current security demands, managing many large network deployments which have, for instance, already passed their CoCo audits. 

Certified to ISO:27001 (Information Security Management Systems), Updata also operates an ITIL-compliant service desk system.  All Updata engineering personnel are vetted to a minimum level of Enhanced Baseline Standard (EBS), and several will be vetted through SC (Security Check) clearance to handle systems using restricted data.

 

Perimeter Security

Education authorities face the added challenge of protecting vulnerable users from harmful and inappropriate web content, while at the same time encouraging the widescale use of the Internet as a learning resource.

Updata has always closely followed the development of local government security requirements, for example, implementing Becta-accredited filtering solutions.  Our suite of perimeter security solutions include managed firewall, anti-spam, email anti-virus and many other functions.
