SRA Launches Privacy Protection Program Information Technology Firm to Provide Comprehensive Solutions to Federal Government Clients FAIRFAX, Va., March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Recognizing the growing impact of privacy concerns on both the public and private sectors, SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX) today announced the launch of a privacy protection program. The program will provide proactive, comprehensive, and innovative solutions to privacy concerns by identifying and mitigating potential privacy risks during all phases of systems design and development. The solutions designed by SRA will help federal government clients increase protection for personal information, ensure that privacy protections are integrated with security throughout planning and operation of IT systems, and enhance privacy risk mitigation through proactive approaches. Privacy protection is an evolving area that encompasses a broad spectrum of regulatory, policy, process, design, and systems challenges. SRA has developed an integrated privacy and security approach called PILLAR(SM) -- Privacy Information Life Cycle Assessment Road Map. The PILLAR process integrates privacy into every aspect of the systems development life cycle, promotes building public trust through outreach and incident management strategies, and is flexible enough to add value at any phase of the systems development life cycle. SRA also provides privacy training for personnel, develops privacy impact assessments, helps integrate privacy policy across a federal agency or department, and offers strategic consulting on business processes that support privacy. Key clients of the SRA privacy program include the Department of Homeland Security, where SRA provides support and strategic advice on privacy and related issues. In addition, SRA assists the Department of Health and Human Services in determining appropriate measures for safeguarding employment information and complying with Federal privacy requirements. "Government agencies and departments are faced with the difficult challenge of providing maximum privacy protection without hindering the objectives of security initiatives as well as information sharing between organizations and across systems," according to SRA President and CEO Renny DiPentima. "Legislative mandates and guidance intended to ensure protections have to be translated into solutions that incorporate privacy protection throughout the entire systems development life cycle. The SRA process combines our experience and knowledge of both privacy and security with a comprehensive approach to help our clients protect their customers' and constituents' privacy and the integrity of their data. A point solution will not suffice in today's environment where data sharing is crucial." About SRA International, Inc.
