Information Security
Scope’s Information Security (infosec) specialism is secure data exchange and storage. We have provided consultancy on a number of small to large-scale implementations including secure email solutions using encryption, secure application development, Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs), certificate implementation and management and data encryption either in transmission or at rest.
We’re not aligned to any particular product or vendor; however, we have experience in some of the newest and globally recognised security technologies and crypto systems. We advise our clients on the best technology to fit their requirements and environments rather than the other way round. All of our consultants have experience in PCI and ISO27000. Our services include:
Cryptographic Services

We can also develop secure bespoke applications to help integrate other products or solutions so that your business can achieve its goals. We are also able to offer services such as security reviews and consultancy on current implemented technologies such as a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Hardware Security Modules, secure email solutions, secure data storage or security of websites and applications using digital certificates. We can also advise and consult on managing your digital certificate environment and provide best practices to ensure minimal downtime caused by digital certificate issues.
Risk Management
It is important that you and your business are aware of new and existing threats that may have an impact on the day to day running of your business. There are many risks that today's business faces, either from a legal or regulatory perspective or a technical perspective. Having the ability to identify risks, being able to assess those risks, and more importantly having the ability to articulate the risks to the business in a format that is easily understood requires knowledge, skills and experience. This is an area where Scope will be most beneficial to your business.
Security Reviews
We offer a range of security reviews and assessments including physical and logical due diligence, technical or non-technical in nature that will provide your business with the necessary information and advice to move forward in helping your business in meeting its objectives. Threat and vulnerability assessments are key to businesses looking to further increase capacity, performance or capability in an ever changing environment.
Technical Design
Because we’re not affiliated with any software or hardware vendors, we can design and provide secure solutions tailored to meet your business requirements. We have gained extensive experience in other environments such as FSA regulated environments regarding secure designs and solutions and are very aware of today's threats that businesses face. We have been involved with secure email and internet solutions, high security remote access solutions and encryption solutions to name a few.
Physical and Logical Due Diligence
It is absolutely necessary in today's environment to ensure that your greatest asset - data, is appropriately classified, controlled and securely stored. It may also be a requirement to store this data externally for cost or capacity reasons. Specific steps must be taken to ensure that your data will be subject to certain security controls so that you can provide assurance to the business and your customers that data is being appropriately secured. To do this, it is necessary to ensure that hosting vendors provide secure data-centres and their management and security, including policies and procedures, meet your minimum security requirements. All Personal data including personal data that is hosted outside the EU, should also be subject to a due diligence exercise to ensure that the data is safe, protected and secured and that the necessary legal arrangements and contracts with the vendors or the country were the hosting resides can be devised and actioned. Scope has experience in this area and has visited Data-Centres globally for our customers. Please call today to discuss your hosting issues and requirements.
