How We Help Our Clients Succeed

Global Medical Company

A global medical company, in the process of divestiture from a multinational company had a short duration Transaction Service Agreement (TSA) for their IT services. The only way to meet the TSA timelines and avoid penalties was to go with cloud-first solution.

Client Challenge:

There were many custom built applications that the internal teams were running in their data center.  The infrastructure team needed to build the cloud capability so that the applications can be migrated to AWS cloud. At the time, there was no centralized governance. Internal teams lacked cloud expertise and experience to migrate within the businesses required timeframe without jeopardizing their ability to operate.

Solution Delivered:

Protiviti assisted the client with cloud architecture and security, and quickly set up a secure, multi-account AWS environment based on AWS leading practices.

The Approach:

• Architecture: Implemented AWS Landing Zone solution that helped quickly set up a secure, multi-account AWS environment based on AWS leading practices. Leveraged AWS Well Architected Framework to design and build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications.
• Governance: Established AWS Organizations to ensure central governance, efficient Account Management. Implemented Service Control Policies to provide central control over the maximum available permissions for all accounts in the organization, allowing accounts to stay within organization’s access control guidelines.
• Security: Leveraged native AWS tools to enhance the security posture using AWS Config, AWS Shield, Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector and Amazon Macie. Provided a secure architecture for applications using AWS WAF and established AWS WAF managed rules to protect applications from common threats like application vulnerabilities.

Robert Half International

Client Challenge

Robert Half International (RHI) had multiple global business units building applications in AWS.  Internal resources were tasked with evaluating an ever-growing inventory of applications that needed to undergo thorough security evaluations prior to being authorized to operate in a production environment. The workload was growing but the team was not.

Solution Delivered

Robert Half International engaged Protiviti to perform technical security evaluations of specific applications and their environments.  Protiviti was able to provide a flexible engagement model that met the on-demand and unpredictable needs of the client by leveraging its global offensive security labs.  The team members that worked on RHI’s environment held both AWS certifications and the OSCP to bring holistic insights and suggestions across cloud service architecture and configuration as well as insecure application coding and software configurations.

Business Results

• Improved business response time for the completion of security reviews.
• Increased confidence in the security of the applications deployed within AWS as vulnerabilities and issues were identified by a specialized team.
• Ever improving security posture as the observations through testing work their way into the architecture and security standards for new projects.
