What are Information Assets?

Information assets are defined as the resources associated with information systems. All types of information including files, databases, paper-based and electronic documents, records, hardware items, software or other infrastructure items.

Why should you be concerned about information security?

The information that you routinely handle may require protection. Whether you work with paper documents, on a computer or spend most of your day directly on the phone dealing with people, you are an integral part of your company’s business. Information security is not an option or choice, it is a requirement. Information security is embedded in the law and is found in regulatory requirements.
