French term

personnes sensibles à la sécurité des systèmes d'information

French to English Other Computers: Systems, Networks
Apologies if this seems like an easy question but I'm afraid my brain is frazzled! I'm translating an internal document on the implementation of ISO standard 27002 on information security management, which says that "des personnes sensibles a la sécurité des SI mettent en place des mesures appropriées" in relation to each aspect of the standard. It's the word "sensible" that I'm stuck on as I can't work out whether it means responsible for/compassionate about/sensitive to or something entirely different. Any suggestions gratefully considered.

What do you mean, "near-perfection"? I thought we were all going for full Buddhahood.
Isabelle Parsley Aug 20, 2010:
What Phil said. While all the suggestions below aren't wrong, I'm still not convinced any of them are exactly right *in this context*, and the Zen-like pursuit of near-perfection-in-context is what we're after. ;)
philgoddard Aug 20, 2010:
Could we have the whole sentence, and the ones before and after it please? It may not be an odd choice of word at all, depending on the context.
Isabelle Parsley Aug 20, 2010:
Yes, or something more akin "those aware of IT security will...". For me, etre sensible (pardon lack of accents) is to be sensitive to, aware of, etc. It's actually an odd choice of word in that sentence, unless there's a wider context.
Wendy Streitparth Aug 20, 2010:
Although all the answers to date are possibilities, I was wondering whether "with knowledge of" is not meant.

disagree Richard Hedger : Chris, if I was to say that you were sensible au bruit, you wouldn't take it to mean that you were responsible for noise, right? Sorry for being the kill joy :)

It rather depends on how it fits in with the rest of the surrounding text, but I have a feeling that this is what it means here; I think the meaning is similar to that of 'susceptibles'

Cf. the use in EN of 'sensitive information'
