Proteus operates a rigid information security policy, which is independently audited annually.
Information Security
Electronic information, whether in the form of client designs, artwork or client data/information is a valuable resource that Proteus takes measures to protect from:
- Loss or corruption
- Unauthorized access
- Modification
We do this via:
- Asset classification
- Physical and environmental security
- Communications and operations management
- Systems development and maintenance
- Access control
- Business continuity management
Information and the way it may be processed is subject to UK law, and specifically the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998.
Accreditation
Proteus complies with the requirements of the Cyber Essentials Scheme. This helps to protect against internet-based attackers. Organisations assess themselves against five security controls and a qualified assessor verifies the information provided.
These five security controls are:
- Boundary firewalls & internet gateways
- Secure configuration
- Access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management
