Boeing is a security minded company – with large visibility and resources in the worlds of physical security and information security – so this mindset that “you are as strong as your weakest link” must be part of the sourcing process. In addition to the operational, financial, strategic and business considerations of cloud partnerships, Boeing has architected its “Fit For Use” process (“FFU”) to bring information security to everyone’s mind. The simple goal of FFU: to inform all stakeholders of a consistent, easily repeatable process to ensure business velocity and security in the cloud.  This means that employees and vendors alike are presented clear, detailed information security expectations by the FFU process from outset.
