A truly global industry, mining and resources is distinguished by the unique demands made of it. Maintaining and improving security assurance and risk management is a very difficult task; especially when confronted by wide geographic distribution, transparency of management information requirements, the requirement for 24-hour operations across time zones and countries, fluctuating commodity prices, and consolidation and concentration of ownership.
The protection of company and customer data, the assessment of cyber and email risks and threats, security of specific industry control systems, and business continuity planning are but a few of the key information security issues impacting the industry currently. It's a complex task that requires an in-depth understanding of the industry, and the expertise to deliver key services and advice to clients in this sector.
stratsec, through the merger with SIFT, has been delivering information security solutions to leading energy and resources clients for an extended period. We have engaged with some of Australia's - and the world's - largest resources companies. Our work has been critical in establishing benchmark risk management frameworks in a highly competitive sector.
stratsec employs experienced, professional consultants, so we possess an extensive knowledge network and a diverse skill set; we're able to deliver solutions, teams and individuals for compliance with regulatory requirements or research studies for all areas of the sector.
