Solutions for Government Organisations
As public facing bodies, Government organisations at a Central and Local level are set high standards of governance. Governmental organisations face some of the most complex and conflicting legislative and regulatory requirements of any industry sector. Privacy and freedom of information, accountability and auditing, security and rapid response, scalability and strict adherence to process are all mandated. These demands impose a burden on core business functions as these departments attempt to satisfy the governance guidelines and increased information security requirements.
Public sector bodies throughout the world are major employers and have significant user populations to contend with. This size means that Governmental bodies are often under greater scrutiny than commercial counterparts. Accordingly, the public sector is often required to demonstrate a higher degree of data protection and management control of personal information. There also exists the requirement to have a professional code of conduct adhered to by public servants and Government contractors.
Baronscourt’s intelligent policy management solution allows Governmental organisations to align the awareness of employees and contractors to the governance responsibilities of the organisation. Throughout the world, Government has an obligation not only to meet the highest standards in personal information confidentiality and security, but also to show they are meeting these standards.
