Productised Intelectual Property-led Service. Effectively, this provides you with the option to buy these services off-the-shelf as a standard package, rather than in the form of the more traditional consultancy service. On these pages you will find a link to the appropriate brochure which provides a specification for the PIPS.

Why have separate management systems for quality and information security when only one is really necessary?  Indeed, why have separate management systems for IT service provision, business continuity, environmental protection, etc., etc. Why not have one audit covering all of these standards: ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 20000, BS 25999, etc., etc.?  It is less expensive and a more efficient use of your time.  It also helps to ensure that all of these concerns are treated as a line management responsibility, ensuring conformance with the "management commitment" requirements of these standards.  Many certification bodies are calling this the shape of the future. If you have a sophisticated management structure, with various departments shouldering prime responsibility for these various diverse responsibilities, don't worry, we have a technique - the overarching/subordinate concept, for dealing with that.

We put you, the CEO, in charge.

 

Our approach is based on our research since 2000 on internal control. There are various white papers including the two seminal papers:

Your response - ask Gamma to help you create your Integrated Management System

We have an extremely effective approach to creating Integrated Management Systems.

Bearing in mind that all management systems (as defined by ISO) are really a management capability supported by documentation and records, we have a Productised IP-led Service (PIPS) that consists of a package of expertise, client training and technology, that can deliver a certified Integrated Management System in record time.

More than that, it is completely understandable by the most senior people in your organisation.

Unlike traditional systems, our hypertext IMS-Smart technology, puts all your IMS documentation and records at your finger tips. Try out the demonstration version below.

It is based on our pioneering work in Mauritius and our Fast Track Method.

Gamma has an integrated management system which is certified to both ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001.  It uses an common PDCA framework and AILs for quality and information security

Try the following:

  1. Click on Conformance, scroll down and click on any of the hyperlinks to see how conformance with the various standards is demonstrated. Note the use of records. Requirement 4.2.1 (b)(5) is a good example.
  2. Look at the AIL-SOA for ISO 9001. This is how we treat the Standard's permitted exclusions.
  3. Look at the pages on risk and in particular the information security risk treatment plans.
  4. Look at the rest of the Common PDCA framework - IMS Management, Training & Awareness, Internal Audit etc.
  5. Note that some of the hyperlinks (e.g. in the risk treatment plans, opens up in the "footnote" window.

IMS-Smart is the latest version of our long standing management system technology, which in its various forms has been used in a variety of organisations world-wide. Below left we illustrate our long standing seminal work in Mauritius, and on the right some work we performed in the fall of 2007 in Kuwait. Most notable in both cases is the speed at which the IMS can be constructed and made ready, including the physiological preparation of the client through a variety of training programs, for certification. We thought our initial work in Mauritius (2003-4) was fast - 4 months - but in the case of Kuwait we halved this to a shade under two months.

Be prepared to scroll down a long way as much has happend since then.  The project was conducted entirely in accordance with our PIPS specification.  The project was led by Dr. Brewer with support from one of our partners, Secure Matrix.  If you go to our Partners Page you will find a link to their web site.
