Identity Management
Information Security
Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data
Information security is the discipline of protecting information and systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. Information security is essential to enterprise security, continuity of business operations, and maintaining the confidence of users.
eMentum's Approach to Information SecurityThe eMentum information security strategy begins with the reliable identification of employees and contractors. We provide a comprehensive approach to logical and physical access, one that combines "something you are," "something you know," and "something you have" to assure that proper rights and privileges are granted.
eMentum helps you to comply with Federal identity verification standards by focusing on technical interoperability, system interfaces, and perimeter controls.
- Consolidate disparate security systems into an integrated infrastructure, allowing dependable management of access to information, systems, and facilities
- Comply with Federal security requirements (e.g., HSPD-12, e-Auth, FISMA) according to NIST standards through simple, elegant solutions
- Coordinate operations across previously disparate organizational environments, allowing for secure information exchanges at multiple information sensitivity levels between internal organization units, external trading partners, other Federal agencies, and the public
eMentum jump-starts our clients' security transformation efforts by leveraging our policy, business, and technology expertise. We focus our efforts on your program goals and objectives, and customize our methodologies to your specific performance goals and metrics. eMentum accelerates security programs by maintaining clear, consistent purpose and focus, and by actively managing our clients' risk exposure.
Program Management
Through all aspects of security planning, implementation, and operations, eMentum provides program management support and technical subject matter expertise for a smooth, sustainable, easily measured, and compliant solution.
eMentum understands that a security system cannot solely rely on a technical solution. Security is the careful combination of strategy, personnel, processes, software, physical space, and technology that our clients need to perform their missions effectively and efficiently.
eMentum’s integrated approach provides our clients with the most effective transformation of strategy, organization, operations, information, applications, and technology.
Risk ManagementIf an organization underestimates the security investment needed for its mission, the security environment becomes increasingly fragmented. Partial solutions fail to deliver on key integration requirements. "Security bandages" and quick fixes increase complexity, which reduces the effectiveness of security in an already overextended environment.
- Underestimating the investment needed to achieve the level of security required to support the organization's mission
- Rushing to a quick solution based on limited information and without gauging the true, long-term impact of the proposed solution on your operational environment
- Relying too much on technical solutions, overlooking the business changes necessary to provide a comprehensive security solution
- Focusing entirely on information security while ignoring privacy and personal identity information (PII) regulations
eMentum's involvement from planning through execution maintains consistency as administrations, mandates, and priorities change, minimizing the threat to our clients' security goals and objectives.
If an organization rushes to a quick decision based on limited information, the "easy" solution may satisfy short-term challenges, but will mask the true issues that prevent reliable continuity of operations.
eMentum consultants apply their business and technical expertise at each program stage to identify the best approach based on environmental constraints and our clients' risk tolerance.
If an organization overlooks the business changes necessary to provide a comprehensive security solution, personnel and other resources will be misallocated to low priority or administrative functions, opening holes in the organization's logical and physical perimeter.
eMentum's comprehensive approach to security planning, analysis, management, and operations exposes the unexpected impacts of regulatory mandates. Issues such as potential understaffing or increased throughput can cause fissures in an organization that is already under administrative pressure to reduce cost and increase productivity.
