Bramble.cc helps London Thames Gateway Development Corporation with Information Assurance
Independent consultancy provides eastern promise: providing information risk management services to lead regeneration agency for East London
Bramble.cc, the UK’s leading independent, specialist information management consultancy and solution provider, is advising the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (LTGDC), East London’s lead regeneration agency, on information management and information assurance.
LTGDC is the key government agency responsible for delivering social and economic growth to transform the London Thames Gateway, which forms part of Europe’s largest regeneration area. Its development will make a significant contribution vital to the local and national economy.
Responsible for a multi-million pound investment programme to realise East London’s economic potential, LTGDC is also focused on ensuring information assurance and risk management, in line with the Coleman Report, the Hannigan Review and the Cross Government Actions: Mandatory Minimum Measures.
“Being the Government’s lead regeneration agency for the Thames Gateway, it is vital that we ensure confidence in our information infrastructure and have in place clear policies that mitigate any risks to the information we handle. Information assurance and governance must be implemented while maintaining and improving the business processes necessary to provide efficient, collaborative operations in a highly dynamic environment.” said Ben Keeping, who is responsible for information security management at LTGDC.
Bramble.cc was invited by LTGDC to conduct an independent review of its position against the mandatory minimum measures to protect information and identify where improvements might be made to procedural and technical operations in order to mitigate information management risks.
“As a specialist consultancy devoted to providing expert information management and assurance to government clients, we have been able to provide LTGDC with our unique tool-kits for compliance assessment, benefits analysis, cost calculation and implementation management,” said Richard Archer, Managing Director of Bramble.cc. “Our expert consultants have been able to bring clarity and decisiveness to LTGDC compliance requirements – there may be far to travel, but the promise is great and we have been able to help get it started rapidly and cost-effectively.”
