PROTOCOL POLICY SYSTEMS

How we help

We specialise in understanding and keeping up to date with international best practice for IT policies. That means your IT and GRC (governance, risk, compliance) team don’t have to – leaving them free to carry on with their core tasks.

As a PPS client, you can quickly establish sound IT policies and rules to develop good security behaviours, minimise human error, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations. Result? Confidence that your business is operating safely, and peace of mind knowing its reputation is being protected.

IT Policy Management as a Service will establish and maintain the foundations needed to protect your most sensitive information and intellectual property. Our cloud based policy management software allows you to quickly access your policy suite, and enables you to drive user engagement and acceptance of the policies. Our experts ensure the content is kept up to date as international best practice standards evolve.

This unique process means you can be up and running in less than five weeks with a comprehensive suite of IT policies written in plain English and mapped to international best practice. Contrast that with the usual 1-2 years that it would take your team to deliver a comparable outcome, and the amount of effort required thereafter to keep the content up to date.

Our Solution

We work with organisations across a range of sectors throughout the UK, Australia, and New Zealand to create secure computing environments by establishing IT security policies and procedures that document the use and management of information technology, digital information, and technical controls. Our approach is designed to allow us to first understand your organisation, and only then recommend and implement a solution that will set the foundation to securely run your business.

Our IT Policy Management as a Service Software is a cloud based subscription that hosts a generic suite of IT policies, which are uniquely tailored to suit your organisation’s environment. The solution allows an organisation to deliver up to date IT policies in under 5 weeks, eliminating the overhead of creating and maintaining those policies in-house. Our subject matter experts ensure the content is kept up to date and mapped to local and international best practice standards such as ISO, PCI-DSS, GDPR, the National Cyber Security Centre's Cyber Assessment Framework, and the UK Government-backed certification scheme, Cyber Essentials Plus.

Discovery

We make it our business to understand your business and your pain points before we start. Understanding how your organisation operates and the current challenges it may be facing around IT policy management enables us to develop the right IT Security Policy Framework for your business. Our end goal is to and ensure that our recommendations are the right fit for your business.

Local Government

The business of local government today is highly data driven as council organisations have evolved to introduce new ways of interacting with their local communities.

Banking / Finance / Insurance

The governance, risk and compliance requirements in these sectors are complex. Regulatory compliance is used as an effective strategy for keeping organisations accountable for their security posture.

Utilities

A defining feature of utilities companies is their reliance on high value critical infrastructure assets to deliver their services and create revenue.

For Not for Profit

Not for Profit (NFP) organisations do important work to provide services that cater for a diverse range of community needs.

OUR POINT OF DIFFERENCE

Develop. Deliver. Manage. Enable

Creating robust IT Security Policies written in plain English and mapped to international best practice typically takes one to two years. Our unique service reduces that time to around five weeks. Our clients save time and money, and are freed up thereafter to carry on with their core business, while knowing their policies will be regularly updated as technology and regulations change.

Testimonials

"The process we undertook was a thoroughly worthwhile exercise. The engagement with the consultant and writers enabled us to gain clarity on security gaps as well as giving a fresh look to approaching standards and new policies"

Buckinghamshire County Council

"We first discovered the Protocol Policy System (PPS) at an IRMS conference and liked how they could supply policy content in an interactive format. After discussing the PPS delivery process and maintenance program we were comfortable that we would have an ongoing partner for our IT security policy needs"
