Encryption Technology Implementation Planning

continue

"Nearly two-thirds (65%) of responding organizations reported a shortage of cybersecurity staff, with a lack of skilled or experienced security personnel their number one workplace concern (36%)."

(2019 Cybersecurity Workforce Study – ISC2)

After we’ve worked with a client to define their encryption strategy and roadmap, we begin developing a comprehensive implementation plan. This planning includes program governance, modernization of IT or business processes, certificate lifecycle management, and encryption key management solutions. A thorough project management timeline and project plan is formulated based on the clients' goals and milestones.

Encryption Consulting can help organizations implement tools and the steps for a high level approach are given below:

Develop use cases and identify common architectural patterns across the in-scope applications, databases, Big-data, cloud and storage devices, and develop use cases for them
Develop reference architecture designs for each of the architectural patterns
Perform a pilot test for each of the controls and make changes in the reference architecture based on results
Group applications, databases, Big-data, cloud, and storage devices are changed in a phased approach by following step-by-step into roll-out phases to avoid one time, large-scale implementations. This will be useful to show incremental results to executives and management

Proof of concept and rfp development

Encryption Consulting helps in conducting a Proof of Concept for a selected encryption tool, to demonstrate the working of the tools with the technologies used by the clients and gauge if the performance and encryption security features are as expected in use cases.

The main highlights of our services in implementation & POC are the following:

Encryption and Key Management Solution Evaluation

Specific Activities	Deliverables
Encryption Consulting will assist Customer with developing evaluation criteria for selecting solutions for enterprise encryption key management. Activities include: Develop evaluation criteria based on encryption key usage scenarios and requirements Assist Customer with selecting key management solutions for further evaluation (e.g., vendor solution, open source, Hardware Security Modules) Assist customer with coordinating vendor information sessions Summarize information from key management solution evaluation and assist customer to prioritize solution options	Encryption key management solution evaluation criteria Summary of encryption key management solution options
