Designing systems security infrastructures |
|
In financial infrastructure applications the integrity of the systems is non negotiable. The level of security specified does, however, have a direct bearing on the cost. The client therefore needs to understand and be comfortable with the assumptions made in the design in order to ensure that an appropriate balance is achieved between the required level of security, the operational implications and the total cost of ownership. |

Managing multi-stakeholder projects |
The management of multi-stakeholder projects, such as national financial infrastructure implementations, requires collaboration between the different stakeholders on different levels, i.e. business, IT, security, and legal. In addition, the systems typically integrate with other systems and infrastructure components in the wider financial system.
Tromp AG can assist clients with the planning and execution of large-scale projects. |
