Be assured

Please be assured that your information will never be linked to you individually or to your organization.

I saw the above in one of my emails regarding some survey.

Is "be assured" an imperative sentence and thus a clause with an implied subject you?

Is "be assured" a passive construction or "subjunctive"?

Thanks
