Safe integration in a new world
Security in any business is crucial - we deliver cybersecure solutions that protect both business and the environment, today and tomorrow.
Secure system integration
Our services
Cyberattacks happen every day, but in critical operations they can have devastating consequences. System integration is complex and spans an extensive IT ecosystem, where large volumes of data must be transported between security zones. Therefore, the integration strategy, information and delivery model must ensure that both availability and security meet business requirements.
Cybersecure integration strategy
Accessibility and safety must go hand in hand
Integration capabilities rely almost exclusively on different technology stacks, on-prem or cloud solution, to handle system integration, OT integration and data integration.
Increasing demands to make data available in a secure way, preferably in real time, place ever higher demands on technology, architecture, organization and processes. The above-mentioned requirements and challenges require a clear integration strategy and a robust target architecture with a common information model. Once this is in place, an effective delivery model is required to implement integration in a secure way while maintaining the pace of change.
We offer a systematically assured integration delivery model that aims to support organizations in addressing future challenges related to integration.
Cybersecure integration strategy
A strategy that takes you to action
Don't be intimidated by the word strategy - our long experience in developing an integration strategy guarantees a short calendar time to quickly arrive at a useful policy document.
A document that sets the game plan with guidelines and rules, definition of integration service, target architecture, organization, process and roles etc.
We work on reusing structural capital and have an efficient process to collect data and produce something useful in a short time without overburdening the business.
If you already have a strategy, we are happy to verify its timeliness and accuracy as this is an important component for a successful integration delivery.
Cybersecure integration strategy
The different elements of the integration strategy
We define:
- Overall business and operational objectives
- Overall mapping of integrations and IT landscape (infrastructure and application)
- Integration rules and guidelines.
Definition of:
- Integration (what is the definition of OT integration, system integration, API integration and data integration)
- Integration service (existing integration solutions on-prem, cloud and in different technical platforms)
- Target architecture (what are the overall architectural guidelines for different types of integration solutions in terms of technology and function)
Organization and processes
- How should ordering integration be implemented?
- How are strategy and target architecture maintained over time?
- How are integration solutions effectively managed within the organization?
Roadmap for implementation
- How do we implement the agreed integration strategy over time?
Cybersecure information model
Better control, increased efficiency and reduced risk of errors
With our long experience in the field of integration and the specific challenges of critical operations, we help you set a robust information model that lasts over time and streamlines integration implementation.
In essential activities, several different systems are often used for documentation, operation, maintenance, monitoring and control. In order for the collected information to be used effectively, a common information model is required that enables traceability, context and correct identification of objects between systems.
Historically, many businesses have worked in separate systems without the need to cross-reference data. But with increased demands for analysis, reporting and holistic understanding, the need for a more coherent and data-driven IT landscape is growing. At the same time, complexity is increasing, placing higher demands on structure, coordination and data quality.
Introducing a centralized information model - mapped to each system's implementation - creates better control, increased efficiency and reduced risk of errors. It is also crucial to establish which system is the master for different parts of the model, to avoid parallel and conflicting versions of the same information.
Safe, efficient and competent delivery model
Our valued delivery model is built on deep domain knowledge in critical operations. Understanding nomenclature and common business challenges is a strong advantage when working together to accelerate integration delivery.
Our teams are committed to safe and efficient delivery:
- DevSecOps methodology
- Agile production methodology for systematic threat modeling, dependency checks, CI/CD and scheduled pen tests.
- Secure By Design
- Our own "house bible" that is mandatory reading for all our team members for safe and quality-assured development and architecture.
- Secure Development Procedure
- If we are not working in the customer's management system, we work according to our Secure Development Procedure to comply with our ISO-27001 certification.
- Well-Architected Framework
-
- Where we use the largest commercial cloud providers, we ensure that we follow current best practice in terms of architecture and set-up of underlying services.
- Security assurance
- Our reporting tool to prove and report that we build and deliver secure integrations and applications.
Focus on orderliness
To leverage all domain knowledge and secure delivery methodology, we put together well-balanced teams to create efficiency with governance and reporting from our team leads.
Our standard reports show, in monthly reconciliations, what we have achieved and at what cost, broken down by opex/capex and follow-up of any incidents and management commitments.
On top of our team delivery, we bring in expertise for specific issues around cybersecurity, change management, procurement support and compliance.
