The awards are judged by an independent panel of expert judges drawn from
the IT industry, journalism and academia. One of the judges, Dave
Cartwright, said:
"We felt this is a product that brings risk management out of the
stratosphere and into the real world for the average business. What
particularly impressed us is the sheer usefulness and readability of the
system output; it's cleverly laid out, and the graphing systems give
excellent overview information."
The award reinforces Citicus ONE's position as the world's most
advanced tool for managing information risk. Developed with help from 15
of the world's top companies including Powergen, Standard Bank of South
Africa and ST Microelectronics, Citicus ONE helps key decision
makers to fully analyse and understand information risk so that they can
focus investment and resources where they are most needed.
Based on the Information
Security Forum's well-proven FIRM (Fundamental Information
Risk Management) methodology for managing information risk, Citicus
ONE gathers data through easy-to-complete scorecards that measure the
risk status of critical business applications, computer installations,
networks and systems development activities. The web-based software is
fully-compliant with BS7799 and can be installed on an
organisation's intranet or accessed as a managed service that is hosted
by Citicus.
"We are all delighted to receive this important award that gives
recognition to the effort put in by Citicus and its launch partners to
create a solution to the increasing problem of information risk
management," said Simon Oxley, managing director of Citicus. "With
greater threats from hackers, viruses and terrorists and the growing
impact of corporate governance initiatives such as Turnbull,
Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel
II, organisations are under a lot of pressure to be more proactive in
managing the risk of their IT systems."
