Do Governments know how secure their Informational Assets are? Can Governments measure their security positioning in cyberspace? How can Governments find out their current security weakness and rectify?
In today's high-tech and interconnected world, a good security governance program for government sector is essential. Hence, an effective security program is needed to handle the threats that exist from internal and external sources. One of the main elements of an effective security program is the development and enforcement of security policies. Most of governments usually have security policies in place as a foundation of their security measures. However, enforcement of the policies compliance has always been a daunting challenge. In order to ease the compliance process, a total automated solution is needed. Another challenge is the preparation of appropriate reports which can show the overall security compliance status of government’s vital ministries and agencies on a single Dashboard.

How IMPACT can help Government…
To address these challenges, IMPACT has embarked on the development of IMPACT Government Security Scorecard (IGSS) for the use of its member countries - Malaysia is the first country to adopt this system.

IGSS provides centralised and automated analysis of Government’s critical business applications and infrastructure. Governments now can effectively manage risks by identifying weaknesses and measuring compliance with security practices and regulations. Through its reporting capability, the tool enables the government to understand the critical components of its security posture by analyzing compliance across the entire Government, down to the region or office level. Hence with IGSS, member countries will have ONE dashboard view of their security posture and position via an AUTOMATED audit environment.
