Project Goal(s)

  • One goal was to provide AXA with guidance in regards to information Security Management. Regulatory framework comparisons were made in relation to information security to prepare a business case
  • Another goal was to help AXA formulate an access controls management system. 
  • Our final goal was to help AXA achieve cloud compliance providing them with guidance on the CCM framework to prepare a business case. 

Contributions

  • Successfully provided AXA with the guidance needed to help prepare for a business case in regards to implementing an information security management system that is most suitable. Within this section we covered the key internationally recognised security frameworks/standards such as the  ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and CIS Controls. 
  • As AXA is a global company, regulatory framework comparisons were made in relation to information security to help prepare a business case.
  • Guidance on Access Control Management was also provided to AXA via highlighting data roles and responsibilities and stating which roles should have access within the company. 
  • Lastly, AXA needed help with cloud compliance and in response we highlighted the CSA CCM framework and explained in detail why it is suitable for global needs. 

Technologies/Framework/Platform for data/management/delivery

With the guidance provided  by us AXA were able to formulate an appropriate business case that not only met their business objectives but also their compliance needs as a global company.
