Services: Concept Development
Goal
Development and delivery of a complete concept that discusses the functional and security-related aspects of the desired solution.
Initial Situation
The customer provides us with the target project and all related documentation (e.g. drafts, manuals, meeting minutes, etc.).
Approach
- Preparation: Definition of the goals as well as collection and discussion of existing documents.
- Development: Preparation of a first version of the envisaged concept.
- Discussion: Submission of a first solution and discussion of this solution in order to define the outstanding issues.
- Delivery: Completion and delivery of the complete concept for consideration during the project implementation.
Result
A concept is developed according to the customer’s requirements with an extensive discussion of all functional and security-related issues of the project. The concept is provided either in our own format or following a template provided by the customer.
Pros and Cons
A concept is the basis for a secure solution and lays the foundation for the success of a project through a well though-out approach. As specialists, this enables us to point out problems and issues at an early stage before they can take root within a company.
Reference Example
Concept Development VPN: A Swiss federal agency operating mainly abroad wanted to provide its employees with secure access to its central systems in Switzerland through VPN (Virtual Private Network). Our company was tasked with the development of a secure strategy, the evaluation of the best product, and the design of a comprehensive security concept. Furthermore, we supported the client and the selected partners in the integration of the concept.
