Secured Supply Chain in the Cloud
The Outcome
Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Allen generated millions in cost savings for the client by decreasing capital infrastructure and licensing fees. All this occurred with zero disruption to their supply chain or manufacturing operations. With a repeatable process to increase accountability, the client now boasts a 98% secure cloud compliance rate across their teams and external vendors, up from 40% at the project inception.
The Situation
The speed of innovation left security as an afterthought at a Fortune 500 global manufacturer. Multiple cloud vendors and external partners were integrated inconsistently. The resulting security compliance across all cloud environments put the global manufacturer in a tenuous position.
The Approach
Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Allen created a set of baseline security goals for their own teams and external vendors. Based on leading industry standards, the goals instituted a letter grade system that allowed the company to rate compliance. Our team developed a custom dashboard to help teams and vendors understand what security actions are expected and where they tacked against the new standards.
