Business purpose

At Polaris, we’re on a mission to create a smarter, safer and fairer world.

We provide software solutions that empower police forces and local authorities to enforce and track traffic and parking offences, manage permits and licenses, and control high-risk assets.

Mission: We support our public sector customers to increase their productivity through the innovative use of technology and data.

Information security vision and outcomes

• We will integrate security at every stage of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to fully determine our security requirements, avoid introducing vulnerabilities, manage security-related issues and comply with relevant requirements and standards. Our goal is to ensure that all software we develop is resilient against current and emergent threats, thereby safeguarding all information assets.
• To manage all security risks during customer and supplier engagements with the adoption of effective security controls.
• To comply with the letter and spirit of all relevant legal, regulatory and contractual requirements.

Policy commitments to achieve our vision

• We will maintain an information security management system (ISMS) that conforms with the requirements of ISO 27001:2022, achieve certification and maintain this over time whilst seeking and implementing improvements to our system and our security performance.
• We will regularly monitor the resources needed to support an effective ISMS and ensure that these are provided on a timely basis.
• We will assess all security weaknesses, events and emerging threats to ensure that our staff receive appropriate awareness training and education.
• We will form meaningful risk-based information security objectives to drive significant information security improvements, and we will plan and monitor these to ensure they are achieved.
• We will establish some key information security metrics to ensure that we have a valuable insight into the state of our security performance and are able to take appropriate action quickly to address issues or deteriorating trends.
