Securing Your Business by Design
Design or Build? Based on our experience, it is always better to design services before you build them – sounds obvious, right? In today’s demanding and fast paced “Agile” driven world, sometimes there appears to be no time or no need for design, as the teams will “take care of it” in their stand-ups’, scrums and sprints. At SSM Associates, we believe that there is no substitute for good quality architecture and design, which can save you significant pain and cost when deploying new services or refreshing old ones. Architecture needs to change to enable support and guidance for Agile teams. Security should become pervasive in ways of working and in our experience, can be embedded in agile teams with limited disruption, providing our clients with the power to deliver high quality, secure systems and services based on thoughtful and appropriate design and implementation. SSM Associates offers three main consulting services – These are Cyber Security Advice and Guidance, Enterprise Security Architecture and Interim CISO/CIO backfill.
