CLAS
Consultancy
Hytec
is one of only a few UK organisations employing
CLAS accredited consultants.
CESG
is the Information Assurance (IA) arm of GCHQ,
based in Cheltenham, and is the UK Government's
National Technical Authority for IA, responsible
for enabling secure and trusted knowledge sharing.
CLAS
is CESG's Listed Adviser Scheme - a partnership
linking the unique Information Assurance knowledge
of CESG with the expertise and resources of the
private sector.
CESG
recognises that there is an increasing demand
for authoritative information security advice
and guidance. This demand has come as a result
of an increasing awareness of the threats and
vulnerabilities that information systems are likely
to face in an ever-changing world.
In
addition, specific demand will come from:
- Departments
seeking to bring their networks into line with
the Government Secure Intranet (GSI) requirements
- Departments
addressing emerging security requirements associated
with the e-Government (Information Age Government)
initiative.
- The
need to safeguard the Critical National Infrastructure
(CNI)
- The
Cabinet Office requirements for Departments
to implement the British Standard for Information
Security Management BS7799.
- Making
'government standard' Information Assurance
advice more readily available to the broader
public sector (local government, the Health
sector, Police Forces etc.)
CLAS
aims to satisfy this demand by creating a pool
of high quality consultants approved by CESG to
provide Information Assurance advice to government
departments and other organisations who provide
vital services for the United Kingdom.
Hytec
employs a team of CLAS-accredited consultants
whose role is to assist public sector organisations
develop their information security capability
through services such as:
