Our Mission

There was a time when all that most organizations looked for in a security partner was an earnest group of consultants who would visit, pick over their systems and processes and then declare positive or negative compliance with security policies or standards. Subsequently the consultants would disappear, usually to be seen again during the next annual review cycle, and leaving you to put their “findings” into practice, often without knowing how or why.

This approach found its way into the emerging managed services environment. Despite the demand for creating a true partnership to make managed services successful, consulting-led frameworks became common. This was characterized by consultants engaging to define and negotiate the contract then handing over to the outsourcing arm, with an ensuing loss of relationship and knowledge of the key issues.

But the game has changed. The smart money is now moving to a more consistent approach to managed services. Today, organizations want to know that the people making all the promises are there to deliver them, particularly in crucial areas such as IA.
Unlike the traditional consultancy-led approach, we now offer a beginning -to-end service, so the same people will often work on a project from initial engagement in the bid through to delivery.

For Blue Assurance and our customers this means we can establish a good working relationship at a very early stage, because the people you negotiate with will be the people who are actually going to deliver. After all, these are the people that you are inviting into your ‘inner sanctum’ of critical services, so you need to be sure that they will do what you want and that you can work with them as your own.

A key factor in the success of Blue Assurances' integrated approach to IA is the coordinated ownership of service delivery .This combination of our beginning -to-end delivery capability and leadership in best-practice approaches to IA services enables a much stronger governance model, embracing the people, processes and technology| Program management aspects of IA services. As a result, risk and costs are reduced, gaps controls are eliminated and services can be tailored to suit the level of threat. Delivering IA is challenging enough without allowing internal divides to complicate it further.
 

Our People

Blue Assurance is proud of its reputation for employing high-quality, results-driven people.  A typical Blue Assurance employee is an independent, self-starter that also enjoys working as part of an integrated team.  We hire the “cream of the crop” and compensate people accordingly.

Blue Assurance employees have experience supporting DOD and the Intelligence Community.  Our current staff is evenly divided between Information Security technicians, compliance analyst   acquisition/program/business management specialists and operations research analysts/systems analysts. We have a variety of  information technology services.

Blue Assurance is interested in promoting the growth of its employees and will often look first within the organization for someone that is willing to step up to a new challenge.

We hire top-quality people for top-quality assignments, and invest resources to ensure customer and employee satisfaction.  Low attrition and a high program renewal rate provide a great foundation for growth.
