Agile and  Modern IT Solutions

A multinational accounting professional services firm tasked our team to support their network team in enhancing visibility into network traffic by identifying and selecting an optimal solution.

We meticulously assessed various solutions to ensure alignment with the company's requirements, leading to the selection of a cost-effective and efficient solution tailored to the specific use case. The optimal combination identified for the proof-of-concept test included Keysight taps, Viavi analytics, and CPacket for Azure, which stood out as the contenders' most functional and economical choices.

Our task was to tackle the intricate access rights management requirements of a vast healthcare facility spanning almost 50 locations. Due to a lack of centralised control and visibility, daily hurdles such as access management, account provisioning, permission oversight, system monitoring, and compliance reporting plagued the organisation. The challenge was seamlessly integrating solutions to enhance inventory management, enforce regulatory compliance, and boost network performance, minimising downtime and disruptions throughout the expansive healthcare network.

We successfully addressed the complex access rights management challenges by deploying SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) and User Device Tracker (UDT) for the healthcare facility with nearly 50 locations. With ARM, our solution provided the client with centralised visibility into resource access, automated provisioning, detection of suspicious activities, and customised reporting for compliance and audit requirements. Simultaneously, UDT enhanced network device visibility and control, allowing real-time location, status, and usage monitoring. This comprehensive approach streamlined inventory management, ensured regulatory compliance, optimised network performance, and minimised downtime and disruptions, empowering the healthcare facility to operate efficiently and securely across its extensive network infrastructure.

Our client has initiated a comprehensive evaluation and approval process for the Google Cloud platform, aiming to align with the stringent security standards outlined in the GC Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) Cloud Security Controls profile of Protected B, Medium Integrity, Medium Availability (PBMM). This endeavour involves meticulously examining the Google Cloud environment to ensure compliance with the specified security controls. This enables the organisation to enhance its cybersecurity posture and safeguard sensitive data following industry best practices.

The project meticulously outlined procedures for collecting crucial evidence to ensure compliance with security controls. Tailoring of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's ITSG-33 Security Requirements Control Matrix (SRTM) specifically addressed PBMM requirements within the Google Cloud ecosystem. Each security control's evidence-gathering process underwent thorough scrutiny against established standards to confirm correct implementation and adherence to stipulated criteria. This method facilitated a comprehensive assessment of the security landscape, empowering the organisation to rectify deficiencies and bolster cybersecurity resilience significantly proactively.
