Let Ward Solutions help organisations in their path to secure cloud adoption, advising on appropriate cloud models for their business, delivering secure design, implementation services and a fully Managed Security Service, providing you with a single provider for all your requirements.
Cloud adoption is increasing for most organisations whether it’s part of an organisational policy or not. The challenge is to determine and manage the risks associated with migration to the cloud, cloud use, cloud change management or unauthorised cloud use.
While cloud may be a standard vanilla service, organisations business needs are anything but, so there are no simple templates to satisfy your business needs to manage your risk.
Organisations are also increasingly getting security technology and services as SaaS from the cloud, which is a significant departure from traditional on-premise, customer-owned, customer managed security solutions. Correctly selecting, implementing and operating these security services as a service is extremely important to ensure appropriate risk mitigation and protection.
Ward Solutions have a wide range of highly specialised cloud security services and solutions to help organisations manage their cloud adoption and use. We can help you throughout the entire cloud lifecycle from initial cloud adoption risk assessments, to cloud migration, cloud discovery, secure cloud implementation, ongoing cloud review to provision of security solutions from the cloud.
We offer a wide range of cloud services to assist clients with:
Cloud readiness assessment: to determine their current level of cloud maturity capability, cloud strategy and risk. The goal of this service is to determine a roadmap and approach to secure cloud adoption.
Cloud discovery: to provide organisations with visibility and inventory of cloud usage and adoption (authorised and unauthorised) in their organisation. This inventory allows an organisation to protect, control and manage their usage in line with their strategy.
Secure cloud adoption: Ward can review organisations use of Microsoft’s Office 365 or Microsoft Azure cloud services and ensure that their tenancy is appropriately secure. We can also help implement migration and secure configuration of these environments.
