Outcomes

The ATO process became an integral part of the governance process and enabled the client to experience:

Validated reliability, resilience, and performance of new solutions
Satisfactory customer experience
Solutions adhering to technology standards
Secure and compliant systems
Alignment with enterprise strategy
Minimized risk of introducing vulnerabilities
Ensured system security and compliance
A deployed tollgate to ensure successful deployment and completion of operational turnover

Situation

The client, a global provider of payment technology, operates in an ever-evolving technological environment where changes in servers, operating systems, network components, and applications are routine. These changes, although necessary, have the potential to impact the overall security posture of the organization. Furthermore, with the adoption of cloud services and new ways of implementing and consuming them, the organization faces new and evolving threats that may increase the risk to its sensitive data and systems. To ensure that new technologies and components do not compromise the security posture of its IT environment, the client proposed the implementation of an Authority to Operate (ATO) process.

Impact

Without a foolproof security system in place:

  • There was a risk of exposure of sensitive data
  • The organization’s systems would be prone to cyber-attacks and fines due to non-compliance.

Resolution

We, along with our rich expertise in handling and improving the systems across industries, initiated a process involving a series of steps, including assessment and scoring controls, implementing necessary security controls, and verifying their sufficiency. We assisted in implementing an ATO process and strengthened security measures, safeguarded sensitive data, while ensuring compliance.
