Build a strong foundation for innovation and operational efficiency with effective technology and security strategy.

Application rationalization is the foundation for almost any enterprise transformation. The optimization of the application portfolio creates a path to cost reduction and more effective modernization efforts.

• Inventory: Collect and document information about thecurrent state of the applications, such as their functionality, usage,dependencies, costs, performance, and business value

• Analysis: Analyze the inventory data to identify patterns, trends, gaps, redundancies,and opportunities for improvement across the application portfolio

• Categorization: Assign each application to a category based on its strategic alignment, technical quality, and operational efficiency. Common categories are retain, retire, replace, re-platform, or refactor

• Prioritization: Prioritize the applications within each category based on their business impact, risk, and complexity. Consider factors such as urgency, dependency, feasibility, and return on investment

• Roadmap: Define and communicate a roadmap for executing the rationalization plan, including the timeline, scope, resources, and expected outcomes of each action. Monitor and track the progress and results of the rationalization initiatives

Our approach to enterprise architecture  ensures that your technology aligns with the business goals and supports efficient operations while also protecting IT and business assets from cyber threats through the design of preventive, detective and corrective security controls.

• Begin with a comprehensive understanding of the business processes and how they interact with IT systems

• Define the organizational structure of the enterprise technology program ,ensuring it integrates with business, security and IT domains

• Define the governance framework for decision-making and compliance. This includes setting up processes for oversight and guidance in both projects and products

• Design the technology architecture, including hardware, software, networks, and data management systems with an overarching security and compliance viewpoint

• Create a detailed plan for implementing the new architecture. This includes timelines, resources, and steps for transitioning from the current state to the desired state

M&A integration requires strategic analysis and a strategic approach for technology integration focusing on platform standardization, data migration, seamless communication and collaboration, and consistent change without business interruption

• Conduct thorough due diligence to understand the technology stack, data architecture, and security measures of the target company and create a detailed integration plan that aligns with the overall M&A objectives

• Plan and execute the migration of data to a unified platform to ensure data integrity and security during the transfer process

• Identify and consolidate redundant systems and applications to help with streamlining operations and cost reduction

• Standardize IT processes across the merged entity to ensure consistency and efficiency to include aligning workflows, policies, and procedures

• Provide training to employees on new systems and processes using effective change management to minimize resistance and ensure a smooth transition

• Test, refine, monitor and optimize the integrated systems to address any issues and improve performance

Zero-trust adoption has the promise of cybersecurity improvement, reduced business risk, and increased enterprise agility. We follow a structured approach that is tailored to your organization’s requirements to successfully adopt a zero-trust capability with low user friction.

• Classify and define what to protect including sensitive data, high-value assets, applications and services followed by mapping the transaction flows to understand how data moves across the network

• Implement strong identity and access management (IAM) to ensure that all users and devices are authenticated and authorized before accessing resources

• Enforce least privileged access to limit user and device access to only what is necessary for their roles

• Segment the network into smaller, isolated segments to contain potential breaches and limit lateral movement of threats

• Implement robust monitoring and logging in your security information and event management (SIEM) system to detect and respond to suspicious activities in real-time

Helping organizations ensure operational resilience and minimize disruptions. Our business continuity service helps organizations identify potential risks to business interruption, ensure alignment of contingency planning and impact analysis, based upon repeatable procedures.

• Perform a risk assessment and Business Impact Analysis to identify potential threats and assess their impact on business operations

• Create a comprehensive Business Continuity plan that includes strategies for maintaining and restoring business operations

• Implement preventive measures to prevent disruptions including data backups, redundant systems and security enhancements

• Develop response and recovery strategies that outline specific actions to take during and after a disruption

• Regularly test and exercise the business continuity plan through simulations and table top exercises to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement

Security and compliance assessments begin with gaining an understanding of the organization’s information assets, processes, and regulatory requirements. Our assessment process will identity system vulnerabilities, risks, and compliance gaps. Our customers routinely have compliance framework requirements including PCI, SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA, NIST, and CIS.

• Identify and evaluate potential risks to the organization’s assets through understanding the threat landscape, assessing vulnerabilities, and determining the potential impact of different risks

• Conduct technical assessments to identify vulnerabilities in systems and applications through scanning or attack simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls

• Perform compliance testing to verify adherence to relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards

• Evaluate the organization’s policies and procedures to ensure they are comprehensive and current including the review of access     controls, incident response plans, and data protection measures

• Develop a plan to address the identified issues including prioritized actions based on risk levels and creation of a timeline for implementing corrective measures
