"This is the first step in a series of initiatives aimed at improving information security, which should enable the SLRB to establish an integrated framework, allowing them to assess information and related technology risks."

An important outcome of the project, besides improved security, confidentiality, accuracy and integrity of information, would be the award of the ISO/IEC 27001:2005 standard to the SLRB's IT department, Mr Ranganathan added.

Shaikh Mohammed said Both the name Mohammed and the name Said can be romanized in several ways. This page attempts to link all articles about people with this name, irrespective of spelling variants:

"While doing this, Ernst & Young will advise us on the design of integrated frameworks and the development of the required documentation and assist us with the initial operation of the framework.

The bureau will then be in a position to obtain the certification after an audit by the certification body."

SLRB is being proactive in seeking external verification of is processes.

"By doing this, the bureau will increase public confidence in its capabilities. "It will also be able to leverage off Ernst & Young's experience with worldwide clients and benchmark us against leading practice on a regional and global basis," Shaikh Mohammed added.
