The service includes automating and systemising activities making use of technologies we have, providing assurance and operating to our ISO27001 certified scope, whilst offering risk reduction knowledge and experience, training and awareness, delivering a positive impact to our end-users and working hand in hand with the accountable Scottish Water security management function.
