Our experience has shaped our expertise

Working closely with technical leads, we ran in-depth workshops to map end-to-end architectures, operating processes and security controls. Using the National Cyber Security Centre’s CAF, we held frank, constructive discussions that surfaced strengths, gaps and planned investments across each organisation.

An improved security architecture that reduces the risk of cyberthreats, and enables DWP to provide digital services that enable people to access benefits and pensions worth over £500M every day.

We have implemented a risk register which is managed alongside the existing project management, in collaboration with the RD Team and the suppliers for the RD Programme. By hosting monthly calls with each supplier we track progress against risks in an agile manner. The results of penetration tests have also been reviewed in line with the risk assessment to ensure consistency of approach.

Our aim was to manage cyber security, to enable the Test and Trace programme to build and scale its services at a pace never seen within the Public Sector. Thereby contributing crucial support during the national emergency. The COVID-19 outbreak saw an unprecedented scope of work involving meticulous coordination of multiple moving parts.
