How We Work

With e-Sentinel working with you, you can expect to see desirable and sustainable changes in your IT system security and assurance.  IT projects will obtain successful outcomes by our validation and execution methodologies so that the risk of failure and cost over runs are eliminated.

First and foremost, we listen to your needs, and then complete an evaluation to identify the situation.  Next we go through a series of steps to rectify any identified problems, produce a detailed report and liaise with your IT people to resolve the identified issues.

In essence, we give you peace of mind!

Our methodologies are designed to engage our customers and find out the - who, what, where, when and how.   We work extremely well when engaged very closely with our customers. We work very hard to understand our clients requirements. We don’t do piece meal. We spend hours working through their requirements.

We assist with not only what you require today - but, just as importantly, what is needed for the future. 

We subscribe to the principles in George Westernman and Richard Hunters book 'IT Risk: Turning Business Threats into Competitive Advantage' the 4A's of Risk Management Framework being:

Availability

Keeping business processes and information flowing through the business.

Access

Ensuring that the appropriate people, including customers and suppliers, can get the information and functionality they need to be effective.

Accuracy

Concentrating on providing timely and complete information to meet operating and oversight needs.

Agility

The ability to change with managed cost and speed.

Our Approach

We commence with developing a formal process to help us gain a sustainable methodology which will enable risks to be identified and measured.

This may include reviewing the design of your system and architecture documents; assessing directories, frameworks, database credit card security and aligning them with best practices, such as ISO/IEC 27001, PCI-DSS, SOX404. We help establish a common risk language (taxonomy) across the enterprise, which will lead to a common understanding of information technology risks and controls throughout the organisation.

We’re above all, flexible.

Different clients need different things. One size does not fit all. Although we have a variety of service offerings that address a wide variety of issues, we approach each project with the same attitude:

We design the project to produce sustainable results for your company with the least amount of struggle.

Nothing is more frustrating than working with an IT security and assurance consultancy who will not answer their phone calls or return their emails. We don’t just try to be responsive, we guarantee your calls or emails will be returned.

Uniqueness

When you are searching for IT professionals there are a lot to choose from.

What makes e-Sentinel different?

Our difference lies in the fact that we advocate for our clients business and are independent solution providers. Our approach not only clarifies whether an IT solution will work but that the solution is the right solution to meet the specific requirements of the business. Our assessment also considers legislative requirements and the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the enterprise information systems.
