CESG (CHECK) IT Health Checks
VEGA performs CESG (CHECK) IT Health Checks for
protectively marked systems within UK and Critical National
Infrastructure agencies
What is a CESG (CHECK) IT Health Check?
The
Government's Communications Electronics Security Group (CESG)
provides IT Health Checks to UK Government and Critical National
Infrastructure (CNI) agencies for protectively marked systems. The
CHECK scheme was developed due to the increase in demand for such
IT Health Checks. As a consequence, a partnership between CESG and
private industry was formed, enabling commercial organisations to
conduct IT Health Checks on government and CNI systems processing
data that is protectively marked, up to and including
CONFIDENTIAL.
VEGA's CESG (CHECK) IT Health Check capabilities
As a “Green Light” CHECK service provider,
VEGA works from customer requirements through to the formulation of
a specific test plan and the execution of work in a manner that is
competent and sufficient, from both the technical and security
standards perspectives.
VEGA’s technical competence and security
experience remove the requirement to rely upon a generic ‘one
solution fits all’ methodology. Addtionally, VEGA’s experience has
shown that consideration of the threats to a particular environment
and any other specific customer requirements (perhaps arising from
legislation or adherence to a particular quality or security
standard), will result in a far more effective and realistic manual
test. The primary result is a set of improvement suggestions that
will be vastly more practical and relevant than those arising from
an automated process (regardless of whether it is manually
driven).
VEGA can perform work under CESG’s CHECK terms
and conditions, and consultants are available to work on Government
protectively marked systems up to CONFIDENTIAL. VEGA can also
provide DV cleared CHECK team leaders.
