Neil Robinson submitted information on their recent partnership with the BSIA. "The Information Assurance Advisory Council and the British Security Industry Authority (BSIA) today announced a partnership to promote a greater understanding of the overarching issues concerning physical and information security. While physical security provisions are integrated into the operating procedures of most organisations, information security is often overlooked.

The agreement demonstrates recognition of the growing importance of information assurance to the security industry and the recognition that effective information assurance can only contribute to a holistic approach to security, which address tangible and intangible security questions.

The Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) is an independent, membership forum supported by industry and central government. The Council was formed in 2000 in response to growing concerns over the trustworthiness and reliability of the information infrastructures that underpin the economy, government and vital social services in the UK and partner nations. It provides a focus for the development of national and international policies on information assurance and critical infrastructure protection.
