Our Values
MISSION: Our mission is to assist companies in meeting the standards for system security compliance. For most businesses, the compliance standards are confusing and may seem at cross purposes. Our goal is to assist businesses in making sense of these requirements, and to achieving compliance in terms of meeting their business goals and objectives.
VISION: Traditionally, most business have had little interest in system security. In the past, system security has been a bolt-on requirement; a requirement that was met after the fact, at the last minute. We believe that system security has to be built into the computer and network system architecture and that there has to be a system security culture. Just as industrial safety is now part of the everyday fabric of construction and manufacturing, so too will be system security. Our goal to assist with this transition and to ensure the business purpose is not lost in a mad rush to mindless compliance.
