About Inform

INFORM is a vendor-neutral program that organizations can use to help manage risks to information security and availability (information assurance), and the associated costs. INFORM objectively evaluates the investment in a particular information assurance solution by comparing the potential benefit against the solution's cost. The program facilitates cooperation between organizations' business risk and IT management teams. These two departments often operate in independent "silos," but it is in the strategic interests of companies that they work together on information assurance programs.

INFORM delivers realistic decision support in a consultative environment. The Web-based application:

• captures and gives a monetary value to risks
• benchmarks your current information assurance program effectiveness against the ISO 17799 (2005 edition) global standard for information security management. The program identifies program gaps, and highlights areas needing improvement:
• presents several "what if" scenarios for program improvements, including costs and benefits
• creates a prioritized action plan you can follow to make targeted improvements and optimize spending.

The INFORM Benchmark Survey is an assessment vehicle that can be used independently or as the first step of a larger INFORM engagement. It compares an organization's operational and regulatory risk against peers and global standards via an individualized report for each participant.
