The foundation of our
work is a deep understanding of not only enterprise security and
application security but also of the complex challenges that come from
implementing even a midsized ERP application. We offer a distinct and
powerful global perspective that can only come from working with
our
clients in different time zones around the world. Our consultants work
with world class tools like
Oblix COREId and
Netegrity Siteminder in conjunction
with PeopleSoft and SAP systems.
We understand the plethora of compliance issues that affect companies
as they implement ERP systems. We focus on potential risks and threats
associated with the implementation of PeopleSoft, SAP and other ERP
systems. Our consultants have decades of ERP security experience and
have seen different permutations and combinations of security
configurations.
We believe in short, discreet engagements (usually a maximum of
3 months).
We typically we come in
to an organization at the beginning of the ERP project and we perform
an Nnigma Initial Snapshot Analysis and Recommendation (NISAR).
We meet with Management, consulting partners and technical staff to
get a rough idea of the security landscape and management objectives
for the project. This process is designed to be as discreet as
possible and our staff work as observers. We then prepare an initial
report for the client and then disengage. This lasts approximately one
month.
If the client so desires, we come back in a few months later (during
the middle of the implementation) and we perform a mid project review
with all technical stakeholders. We call this an Nnigma Mid Term
Analysis and Recommendation (NMTAR). Here, We compare the state
of the security landscape to what it was a few months back and make
recommendations for improvements, mid course corrections etc. In our
experience, this is the most crucial time to cement the security
strategy for an ERP implementation. This is also the time when
projects start to slip. We are able to share our industry knowledge
with key technical resources and management. After we present our
deliverable, we disengage. This also lasts for approximately one
month.
The third time we come back in is a month before the go live date. We
then work with our clients to make sure that from a security
perspective, the project looks like it's on the right track. We call
this an Nnigma Finish Line Analysis (NFLA). We then present our
clients with a comprehensive deliverable of where they started, made
changes and have ended. We also make recommendations about potential
open issues, nice to haves and upgrade related concerns.
We have also been engaged by clients to do random independent security
analyses and pre-ERP analysis and recommendations.
We are able to
differentiate our services in three major ways.
1) We have ERP
application experience as well as enterprise security experience.
2) All we do is security work. No generic consulting add-ons.
3) We have reasonable rates.
We have developed rigorous and reusable tools and methods for
analyzing risk and making sound recommendations for ERP
security solutions. These tools and methods help our clients to assess
the impact of strategic decisions before they are acted upon.
Using our industry, business-process knowledge and our insight
into/access to existing and emerging technologies, we identify new
application and enterprise security trends and formulate and implement
solutions for clients under demanding time constraints.
Our mission is to continue to provide comprehensive security
recommendations and solutions to our clients all over the world.
