Keep secure information secure

Identity theft is one of the world's fastest growing frauds, rising 44% in the last year. Every day brings new revelations of the large-scale loss or mismanagement of personal data and records of all kinds. No business can afford to find itself in a similar position – the implications for company reputation and the impact on brand value of such a failure could be severe. Working with BT, you can 'Quick Start' your identity management improvement process.

Taking the pain

Because no individual has effective overall control of all data, the management and protection of personal data – Identity Management – has become a key, board-level responsibility. Planned changes in the law will make executives, managers and staff personally liable for protecting such data. With criminal penalties in the offing, every business needs to take Identity Management seriously.

Any significant loss or failure creates an instant and unbudgeted need for network and information system managers to respond with an investigation and immediate improvements to systems and processes.

Swift and effective intervention - how BT can help

BT offers real expertise in Identity Management. For example, BT leads Project GUIDE – the EU's research into cross-border Trust & Identity issues for business and citizens – and has provided a range of solutions for NHS Patient Care Records, VISA and the Ministry of Defence.

BT can work with you to help your organisation gain and maintain effective control and usage of personal "identity" data quickly. In place of a traditional audit of systems, processes and procedures that could take many months, BT has designed a unique Quick Start process that can identify underlying issues and gain stakeholder agreement to move forward with solutions within weeks.

BT Identity Management Quick Start will help you to assess the effectiveness of your current arrangements and implement flexible and cost-effective ways of fulfilling your obligations as part of a coherent and cost-effective Identity Management strategy.
