Our client, a prominent investor and infrastructure asset manager in the wireless communications sector, manages operations across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas on a global scale. They enlisted support to strategise and implement GDPR-compliant data protection measures. This initiative required a meticulous approach, encompassing the enhancement of existing systems and adopting new technologies to ensure adherence to GDPR. The consequences of non-compliance with GDPR can be severe, given its broad definition of personal data and the potential for substantial fines. Furthermore, GDPR compliance entails facilitating Data Subject Requests (DSRs), which involve providing individuals with copies of their data, correcting inaccuracies, deleting information, and restricting access per their requests. Consequently, meticulous tracking, robust security measures, and efficient data retrieval mechanisms were crucial for managing personal data globally. The client had identified the Azure RMS (Rights Management Service) and AIP (Azure Information Protection) as the preferred solution stack and devised a comprehensive implementation roadmap. They were in search of a seasoned technology consultant capable of navigating the intricate workflows necessary to execute their roadmap effectively and enhance data protection measures. The European Union's GDPR impose legal obligations on companies handling the personal data of EU citizens, aiming to establish stringent data protection and privacy standards. Compliance with these regulations is imperative for businesses operating in the EU, often requiring significant investments in data protection capabilities and regulatory compliance mechanisms to ensure the security and privacy of personal data.

Our client embarked on a global endeavour to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by implementing robust data protection protocols. As part of this initiative, AspireLive spearheaded a meticulous phased rollout of advanced technologies, including Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication, Azure Information Protection (AIP), Azure Rights Management Service (RMS), and Microsoft Cloud App Security. These tools were strategically employed to automate data identification, classification, encryption, and data loss prevention, enabling seamless handling of personal data in line with GDPR requirements. A thorough pilot program was conducted to address potential challenges before the full-scale implementation, involving manual labelling and classification of documents, rigorous GDPR compliance testing, and comprehensive training sessions for both end-users and administrators. The successful execution of this strategic plan not only ensured GDPR compliance but also bolstered data security and governance throughout the organisation. By meticulously implementing technologies such as Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication, Azure AIP, Azure RMS, and Microsoft Cloud App Security, our client established a robust framework for secure data handling, including sensitive information pertinent to EU citizens. From pilot testing to global deployment, the phased approach facilitated a smooth transition, enhancing data protection capabilities and reinforcing compliance with GDPR. This comprehensive effort underscored the organisation's commitment to safeguarding personal data and maintaining high data security and privacy standards across its global operations.

A public transportation organisation facing challenges with its current IT Asset Management (ITAM) system, such as lack of integration with core business operations and service interruptions, sought help migrating to Ivanti.

With our extensive expertise and thorough understanding of SMART's current IT Asset Management processes, we conducted in-depth discovery sessions. This allowed us to identify critical areas for improvement and provide a detailed overview of Ivanti's architecture. We worked closely with the client, ensuring a shared path forward for progress and instilling confidence in the proposed solution.

The client faced escalating challenges due to the intricate nature of their microservices platform, requiring a solution to address load-balancing issues and bolster security measures. With the need to enhance scalability and resilience while ensuring secure traffic distribution and API protection, the client sought a comprehensive approach to optimise their microservices architecture effectively.

Our team successfully tackled the escalating complexity of our client's microservices platform by implementing a robust solution that leveraged the power of F5 Big-IP, NGINX, and F5 APM Access Policy Manager. By integrating an API gateway alongside F5 technologies, we orchestrated seamless traffic distribution and fortified API security, empowering the client's microservices architecture with enhanced scalability and resilience.
