Identity Projects
In addition to fully bespoke consultancy and implementations, Infinitum has a series of ready-made identity offerings that deliver quick wins to your business:
Risk assessment
Whether driven through regulatory requirements (such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II or PCI-DSS), for audit or simply a desire to follow industry best practice, ensuring your business meets these standards can be a challenge.
There have been a number of high profile security incidents, ranging from theft of credit card data, memory sticks left on public transport and excessive access rights leading to fraud (notably at Barings and Société Générale). By conducting a thorough risk assessment of your processes and systems, we can help you avoid these types of incident.
The Infinitum team has delivered a number of assessments and can help you through the process, delivering a review of all critical systems, and then working with you to manage & mitigate the risks identified - ensuring your business can deliver to the standards required by regulators and auditors.
Cloud readiness assessment
Gartner see cloud computing as the #1 strategic technology area for 2010, and Infinitum has seen this borne out with our clients adopting a variety of cloud-based solutions. Cloud solutions shift management of commodity services on to the service provider reducing the overhead to your organization, provide flexibility for scaling up and down at short notice, and shift costs from capex to opex.
Whilst many organisations are eager to take advantages of cloud services, there are a number of challenges to be overcome, particularly with regard to security. How do you manage access to these external services? How can you be sure your data is safe? How can the cloud be integrated into your existing IAM solutions?
Infinitum has delivered IAM integrations for a variety of Software-as-a-Service providers, and has partnerships with managed hosting (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) providers. Using this experience, we can advise you how best to migrate to cloud services, and to mitigate the risks involved.
Password consolidation
A common request by staff in organisations of all sizes is to remove the pain of having dozens of passwords. This problem is particularly acute in medium-sized organisations that have a significant number of disparate IT systems from a variety of vendors, each with their own password policy, and yet can’t justify the expense of managed provisioning and single sign-on systems.
Either as a quick win, or as one part of a larger identity management programme, Infinitum can deliver you a solution in just a few weeks that can:
- Save wasted time and reduce the pain of managing passwords
- Reduce helpdesk call volume
- Increase security through stronger passwords
- Improve reporting for audit/compliance purposes
Identity compliance & certification
Building an organization-wide role management solution can be complex and time-consuming, both in initial implementation and ongoing maintenance - and may not deliver the desired ROI. However, through experience we know that role management tools can play a central role in data cleansing and auditing activities.
Infinitum can help you complete an access certification process, capturing and validating your employee data and confirming access rights. The output is a management dashboard giving complete visibility of security and compliance risks, and details of the remediation actions to be undertaken.
This process will help you define security process, and can form the basis of a wider IAM rollout, or simply satisfy auditing/reporting requirements.
