Using the Trust Services Principles and Criteria, SJU can provide a wide range of advisory and assurance services to businesses, including everything from strategic planning, readiness assessments, and diagnosis of problems to system design, implementation, monitoring programs, and certification.

Being able to depend on information technology is a fact of life in today's business world. Information systems have become the critical component behind key business functions such as human resources, payroll, and general accounting.

Most companies, as well as the general public, are aware of how expensive issues with technology can be. Problems with system reliability, security and confidentiality have created a "trust gap". In the 2004 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, 89% of all respondents reported between 1-5 security incidents with their web infrastructure. The total dollar value of these losses for 2004 were over $140 million dollars. Another point of interest is that over 98% of all respondents reported that they are actively using firewalls to protect their networks and infrastructure. This clearly shows that simply having a firewall is not enough to guarantee the security and integrity of your networked systems.
