Gen-i has been offering this service nationally and across the Tasman for over ten years.  The specific IRM consultants have been doing this for a combined 20 years across multiple organisations of varying sizes in multiple industries.

What is your work based on?  What is your approach?
We strictly adhere to internationally accepted standards such as ISO 17799, CoBIT, AS/NZ4360:2004, etc.  We use the Gen-i IRM methodology to guide our work and encourage you to adopt this in order to provide on-going protection.
