A principal philosophy in system security planning is that the system security has to be built into the company’s computer system architecture and culture. Through the use of security focused policy templates that outline compliance; the use of worksheets that guide the development of baseline architectures, along with role-based user access to system resources, there is assurance that the company’s business purpose is the guiding factor in achieving system security planning compliance.

For over thirty years, the SBA Surety Bond Guarantee Program (SBG) has been providing Bid, Payment and Performance Bonds required for small and emerging businesses to bid on and carry out a contract, including but not limited to firms in construction, repair, maintenance, service, supply and janitorial work. This guarantee allows the surety companies to write bonds for contractors who, otherwise, might be unable to qualify. Acquiring surety bonds can be a very difficult task for those entering the federal or public works sector. Surety companies may have strict underwriting criteria that contractors must fulfill in order to qualify for a surety bond which could also cause difficulty establishing a bonding line of credit. Through the Small Business Administration of the U.S. Government Guarantee Program, contractors are able to qualify for required bonds on their own up to $6,500,000 for Private or Public Works or subcontract or up $10,000,000 on Federal projects.
