Fronter - Protecting Information in an Online Learning Environment
About Fronter
Fronter is the leading European provider of the Virtual Learning Environment, which is used by millions of teachers and students at thousands of learning institutions around the world.
What Fronter needed
One of the biggest and growing concerns for Fronter’s customers today is electronic security. Fronter chose Logica to be their expert security partner to identify and address the security risks in their business. Fronter also wanted to gain ISO/IEC 27001 certification, the international information security management standard to prove that their online environment was secure.
The challenge
It was very important to Fronter that, with the rising threat of electronic infiltration, their organisation, supply chain and products were secure and that they protected the personal information of their customers.
They also wanted to prove to their current users and prospective customers that they could be trusted with the security of their online information. Fronter requested that Logica helped them gain formal certification to ISO/IEC 27001 and compliance to the EU Data Protection Directive and other relevant regulations such as the UK Government Data Handling rules.
Our answer
Working with Fronter, our team of security experts analysed the information they held, in terms of what was used to run the company and what was entrusted to them by their customers. Using our own risk analysis method, IRIS, we identified the potential risks the information could be exposed to, both physical and from electronic channels. This allowed us to set in place recommended policies, processes and education to control these risks, building upon their current security foundations.
A success story
The success of this programme is due to the determination of Fronter to implement a robust approach to protecting data and the expertise of Logica’s staff to build security best practices into an easy to use, effective and ISO 27001 compliant information security management system.
