Simple, Affordable GCSx CoCo Compliance

Government Connect is a pan-government programme providing an accredited and secure network between central government and every local authority in England and Wales. The network is known as Government Connect Secure Extranet (GCSx). GCSx is part of the wider Government Secure Intranet (GSi) and provides connectivity to all central departments (Scottish local authorities have already established a similar network known as Government Secure Extranet (GSx)). In order to connect to the GCSx, local authorities must comply with the GCSx Code of Connection (GCSX CoCo) - a set of security controls defined by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) on the advice of CESG (part of GCHQ and the national technical authority for information assurance) and broadly based on ISO 27000 - the international standard for information assurance.

SureCloud has integrated a range of security technologies to meet various components of the standard. Central applications provide an efficient means of monitoring these technologies, thus simplifying the operational compliance activities and ultimately reducing costs. In addition our professional services team can conduct an initial Assessment to understand the gap between your situation and compliance with the standard (See Gap Analysis), and help with implementation and on-going support.
