Case in point

Moving to the cloud securely and reliably

When a large aerospace and defense company sought to implement its public cloud migration strategy, data security and service reliability were of critical importance.

Based on our significant experience in third-party vendor management, as well as managing cloud environments and their related risks, the client engaged us to assist in negotiating the security management aspects of its public cloud contracts.

This included developing a standard security annex and contract clauses, analyzing cloud provider security practices, conducting negotiation workshops, and providing a residual risk assessment. For the tailored security annex, we defined criteria for selecting applicable security requirements based on service type and identified process improvements.

In addition to completing negotiations, the client now has a standard set of requirements and documented process to support future procurements that includes early involvement of the security team.
