NEWS Finance companies are streets ahead when it comes to implementing an information security policy, according to research published today by the National Computing Centre (NCC). The Business Information Security Survey found that over 80 per cent of companies in the finance sector have implemented a security policy, compared to a 53 per cent average across all sectors. The NCC also found that nearly all finance companies carry out an annual review of their security policy.

The report questioned 250 businesses from the communications, finance, government, manufacturing and retail sectors.
