Management of Information Technology Security (MITS) report

Why it matters

MITS has its roots in the Government Security Policy, which defines IT security as the safeguards to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, availability, intended use and value of electronically stored, processed or transmitted information. For the purposes of this standard, the term IT security will also include the safeguards applied to the assets used to gather, process, receive, display, transmit, reconfigure, scan, store or destroy information electronically.
