Public Sector and the Cloud: Doing more for less
“A unified support service will eliminate duplication in staffing, estates, and contact centre infrastructure (processes, telephony, tools, etc.) whilst delivering a more consistent, better quality, user experience.”
Cloud services bring the flexibility the public sector needs. For example, hosting a number of existing local and national applications in one place boosts cooperation between governmental organisations and provides a scalable platform for the future.
Our approach to securing the cloud:
- Work out the risks for each cloud project, taking into account applicable regulations, data sensitivity and business requirements.
- Decide on the deployment model (private, public or hybrid) and the service model (infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, or software as a service) depending on the risks.
- Make sure you integrate security with the existing technical, organisational and procedural set-ups. Evaluate the need to, add security services like digital signatures, time-stamping, secure archiving and logs.
- If a third party delivers the service, make sure you understand exactly what security is in place.
- Set up and monitor performance indicators for security so you can make sure it keeps doing the job over time.
