Successful Security Projects

Great solutions require strong products, thorough planning and aggressive deployment.

Why close the barn door after the horses escape? or An ounce of precaution is worth a pound of cure. Another one, Why solve a problem that we do not have?

These expressions come to mind when addressing security issues for the premises where we work, our homes, bank accounts, credit cards and anything else of value to us. In this environment where everything is faster and better, comes the need for us to understand the complexity of it. This world is where we live and we need to protect our assets. The expression Nip it in the bud before it becomes a problem is best suited for security. Just by observation, we see exposures and are grateful we saw them first.

The Internet certainly changed our way of living with information available at our finger tips on our PC keyboards and monitors. This enables us to do tasks in minutes or seconds that took days before in some cases. However, there is a need for us to be more alert to securing our information and knowing that the service providers do the same. For an example, with the improved cost of ownership for our PCs and Laptops the data in them is worth far more than those devices. And the protection of that data is worth even more.

The PathMaker Group (PMG) with its business partners exists to help organizations protect vital information and control the access to it. In short, let the rightful owners have their information and keep the unauthorized ones from it. PMG and their business partners offer the latest software products in security and identity management. They have professional consultants to develop these products in the Internet world.

These deployment projects have keys to success that are core to the Project Management practice. The keys are Project Planning with requirements gathering, writing a design document of the finding, producing a project plan for the engagement with a schedule meeting the timetable for its clients. They have a staff of professional product certified consultants. These consultants are assigned to the project to deploy the solutions. There are check points along the way with formal status reporting and project tracking.  When this phase is completed, testing begins. Another key to success is documentation. In many cases it is last on the list and exposed to be never being completed. Though it may be last, it is certainly not least. It can save time and money when problems occur or when changes are needed to be made.

This is the model PathMaker follows in bringing value to its clients and business partners. For more information on what we do and how we can help you, please feel free to contact us!
