iAssurance, a mobile app developed by Booz Allen, is not only a useful tool in itself—it also demonstrates how new kinds of mobile apps can help organizations achieve their mission needs.
iAssurance has several purposes. It is a mobile app that gives information security practitioners on-the-go, fingertip access to NIST’s National Vulnerability Database and security controls.
And it is also a mobile app that helps emergency planning practitioners and managers keep their organizations running during a disaster or other crisis, through contact and action checklists.
iAssurance is an excellent example of how organizations can use their existing online content and data feeds to build new mobile apps—giving employees powerful new mobile computing tools, and enabling the public to connect in new ways. It demonstrates how Booz Allen combines an understanding of mission needs with highly advanced expertise in the rapidly emerging world of mobile apps.
iAssurance is a free mobile app that can be downloaded from the App Store.
Keeping Information SafeFor information security practitioners and managers, the mobile app provides online access to NIST’s National Vulnerability Database—which details the security vulnerabilities of computer systems. It also contains the catalogue of NIST’s computer security controls. Both uses of this mobile app meet the critical need of having this information at your fingertips while on the go.
Keeping Organizations RunningFor emergency planning practitioners and managers, the mobile app is invaluable for “continuity of operations plans” in a disaster or other crisis. Items on contact and action checklists can be date- and time-stamped—showing who completed the items and when—and can be instantly shared with other mobile app users.
