Security Governance Compliance

With the exponential increase in digitization of information, regulators have opted for stringent data privacy and fraud prevention measures. Customers have become increasingly conscious of data security, and direct the organizations to include Information Security (IS) as cost of doing business.

Most large organizations have security and business continuity systems and process in place. These systems have grown over time and have been influenced by the perception of security among different function owners. New regulations have built another layer of patchwork for risk compliance

Since security systems have become expensive to maintain, they are inconsistent across the organizations and are not fully compliant to best practices. Alignment of existing security processes with broader organizational initiatives such as Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) and Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) requires more effort and investment.

We have comprehensive suite of Security Governance, and Risk and Compliance services that assist organizations to review the security framework and the operational controls and to continuously assess and manage the security level.

Our Security Governance and Compliance Services ensure that your organizations security framework is aligned to the business objectives. Our services will help organizations to achieve:

Identity Access Management

Identity and Access Management (IAM) as a security solution enables customers, partners and employees to access business and enterprise applications in a secure and compliant manner. An IAM solution flexible enough to enable this access is a prerequisite for an IT transformation journey that allows employees to bring their own devices to work (BYOD), to reap the benefits of agility and reduced cost using cloud services (identity as a service) and to enhance user experience across all electronic channels. To support increasing e-commerce using internet, organizations must enhance the consumer experience and federate with partners in an efficient, secure and cost-effective manner. To manage users and comply with regulations, it is essential to automate user identity lifecycles processes User identity will soon be the cornerstone of all big data projects enabling organizations to personalize services across a mass customer base.
