    formulations, launch plans and sensitive information about new products. At
    times, some of this information had to be shared with third parties including
    market research companies, advertising firms and distributors and hence

    perspective, the organization wanted to enhance its competitive advantage


    by safeguarding future plans, expansions, JV's and new lines of
    businesses.

    the business impact matrix was established. Required safeguards were
    then designed after factoring their business functions. The roll out was
    executed over the following phases viz. Information Security
    Management System, Business Impact War-Games, Technology &
    Baseline Hardening and Electronic Counter-Surveillance.

    inputs taken from the stakeholders with emphasis on customizing the best
    practices of the industry to the specific cultural and organizational needs;
    thus ensuring that the policy framework was readily adopted and sustained.
