ABOUT

 

Dynamically growing international scale-up wanted to prepare its web-based platform (solution as a service over public cloud) for a rapidly increasing number of new users across different geographies. Solution needed to be compliant with many data privacy regulations and security standards. And at the same time, it had to meet performance and scalability requirements.
Compliance with data privacy regulations and other cybersecurity standards were top priorities to ensure business continuity and service resiliency. Lack of clarity about the current state of security maturity was blocking customer from offering services to corporate customers with high-security expectations.

DELIVERABLES

  • Technology Assessment was focused on analyzing elements like staging environments, the security of the code, endpoints, and mobile infrastructure and security operations.
  • Organization Assessment was focused on existing Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery procedures, policies & standards & guidelines and Risk Management.
