A Dorset cyber security firm has taken part in a scheme to help bolster protection for the government’s IT systems from online threats.
C3IA Solutions, headquartered in Poole, was one of two companies to take part in a three-month pilot, working for the Government Security Group (GSG) within the Cabinet Office.
The consultancy, which has more than 130 staff including former military personnel, said it had conducted an assessment on a government department using a new set of stringent security measures, known as ‘GovAssure’. The firm added that it had helped the Cabinet Office to refine the process in preparation for its launch.
