Success Stories

UK Government Department

A large UK central Government department needed to develop an Enterprise Architecture to allow it to better manage and specify its outsourcing contracts, and to construct a uniform set of IT services from its diverse existing systems. Capgemini developed the architecture to include complete coverage of the department’s security and risk management objectives. The department did not have a comprehensive set of business drivers and valuations that could drive the development of technical security policies. Capgemini analysed the department’s assets as identified by the Business, Information, Applications and Infrastructure architectures. It identified business drivers and valuations for security by talking to the existing security team and practitioners at the ‘coal face’. This allowed the department to give integrity and non-repudiation issues their full weight alongside the more conventional confidentiality concerns. The security architecture was fully integrated with the other architecture aspects and followed existing Government guidance such as the Manual of Protective Security.

International Wholesaler and Shipping Agent

Capgemini was engaged by this leading shipping agent firm to produce a compliant IT security policy and process framework to meet both the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of Congress (US) (SOX) and ISO 17799 standards. It also required that Capgemini highlighted management responsibilities in respect of SOX. The solution for SOX integration required an in-depth knowledge of the COBIT framework and how it integrated with the requirements of the SOX Act based on the COSO requirements. With the COBIT Controls identified these were implemented with the ISO 17799 Standards which then formed the basis of the solution. Where there were gaps between COBIT and ISO 17799 essentially around the management requirements for SOX these were also identified to the client. The solution provided the client with a workable policy which also included a number of additional deliverables around Security Management (ITIL Based) including Asset Management, Data Classification, DR & BCM measures and Security Incident Reporting.
