IT and business strategy alignment bringing a boardroom perspective to IT as a value generator.

Data is for doing. We help you collect and clean data to make it easily accessible. We also help you build models that help you predict a particularly outcome to ensure a structured approach. Further, we help you find trends and flag anomalies to help you make practical decisions so that you may function more effectively and efficiently.

We helps our customers secure their data, protect identities and build trusted relationships with their clients, stakeholders and partners by, among other things, helping them with their business continuity and disaster recovery plan, Physical and Environmental Security, Compliance Audits and Management, Application and Network Security.

ICT4D (Information and Communications Technologies for Development) is a powerful tool for economic and social development. We partner with our Clients to develop relevant and contextualised solutions aimed at bridging the digital divide (the disparity between technological “have” and “have not” geographic locations or demographic groups) and aiding economic development by ensuring equitable access to up-to-date communications technologies.

By utilising technology appropriately, you can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase profits thereby delivering new or better capabilities to the business faster.

We help you ensure your IT is proactive in their Service delivery.

We help your IT Department provide a consistent and reliable service by being  proactive and rendering IT solutions to various business needs that are fit-for-purpose.

We facilitate alignment of IT initiatives to the business and ensure there is an IT structure in place that maximises business value.

We help you to respond effectively to environment changes necessitated by  market pressures or opportunities, regulatory demands, cost reduction pressures, or reorganisation due to mergers or acquisitions.

From project inception, our team gather requirements from business lines services, determine specific project approaches, solutions and BI technology fit for purpose. After a joint workshop, we will define how we will help you to solve existing problems and improve your business performance by using BI tools and analytics technology deployment.

After establishing a business goal, our experts will collect and integrate data from various sources (i.e. ERP, transactional databases, file systems, flat files, Excels) into one Master Database called Data warehouse or Big data file systems so you will be easily able to access and manipulate different types of information from one place.

Collected and integrated data is transformed during the loading process into a database system (ETL), then prepared for exploration, ad-hoc analysis, and modeling. We implement highly scalable data processing scripts to aggregate, clean, and transform data into an appropriate format. After it, business users are able to analyse data, create ad-hoc sql queries, and be self-sufficient by using modern Business Intelligence tools.

Together with business users, defined problems are solved through conclusions from the data exploration process using data mining techniques and BI tools. Developed OLAP or Tabular solution will organise and help you to discover patterns in data. BI tools go beyond knowing what and when it happened – they can predict with the highest probability why it happened.

We create rich, visualised Business Intelligence dashboards and reports that facilitate sharing the most important information, and KPI’s inside or outside your organization. You will reduce user interactions and save time while the business intelligence system will do everything for you. It helps enterprises to make the right business decisions at the right time, and let you manage organizations consciously while improving performance KPI’s.

When done well, security governance will effectively coordinate the security activities of your organisation by guiding management to make the appropriate resources available to drive Cyber Security. This is the foundation to ensure security tasks are performed at planned intervals, incidents are managed effectively and resources remain available to operate the information security management system (ISMS).
Lanwan Technologies will help you with:

• Establishing your Security Governance structure
  Identifying membership and formulating your Security Committee.
• Creating security monitoring documentation.
• Developing Security Metrics and Measurements against your security objectives.
• Conducting Management Reviews to track the effectiveness of your ISMS.
• Development of your Security Calendar document to identify recurring security tasks and actions.

As the IT landscape becomes increasingly complex and technology continues to evolve across multiple platforms, staying on top of potential security issues can be a daulting task. A third-party systematic evaluation will help you understand the potential risks and develop a comprehensive remediation plan.

Lanwan Technologies, using the ISO 27001:2013 standard, will assessing your current security policies, processes and practices to a globally-recognised standard. The process involves:

• a detailed audit process that includes interviews with key stakeholders across the business; review of documentation including policies, procedures, processes and practices; physical inspection of sites; review of technical configuration of selected systems.
• A comprehensive Security Audit Report detailing all major security risk scenarios and acceptable risk mitigation controls.
• A security implementation roadmap, outlining security risks, remediation priorities and projects timelines.
• A walk-through of any identified security risks and ownership.

We help you find out which problems can happen to your information and/or operations – that is, what can jeopardise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your information, or what can threaten the continuity of your operations.

The risk assessment process will enable you to:

• Identify all the risks related to your information.
• Identify the risk owners.
• Assess the impact and likelihood of risks.
• Determine your risk remediation strategy.
• Track progress of the risk remediation actions.
• Allocate accountability for remediation.
• Improve your organisational risk posture.

LANWAN Technologies will do the following:

• We review your existing Risk Management Policy and align both our risk assessment methodology and the Risk Register with your policy.
• Alternatively, we can create a Risk Register which aligns with ISO 27005, ISO 31000 & NIST SP 800-30 risk management standards.
• The end result is a comprehensive Risk Register, detailing the vulnerability, risk, impact including worst-case assessment, actions, ownership and resolution dates across your business.

Risks abound and leaves no industry sector without exposure to attacks. Its is therefore importance to consider a vulnerability assessment. Undertaken regularly, this process identifies, quantifies and prioritises the vulnerabilities in your system, application or network component, and can be used to demonstrate security compliance by your organisation.

Quarterly vulnerability assessments are a requirement compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other regulations and standards. A Vulnerability Assessment can also be performed in preparation for a penetration test, in order to identify the weaknesses to be exploited by the test.

What we do:

• Scan – Our team can identify vulnerabilities associated with a range of IT assets, including operating systems, network devices, databases and applications.
• Report – we provide a detailed report outlining each vulnerability, including vulnerable host(s), operating system weaknesses, level of security risk for and our recommendation for remediation.
• Action – while the Vulnerability Assessment does not itself fix any found vulnerabilities, we can then work with you to take the most appropriate course of action.

The modern cyber threat continues to evolve, developing new methodologies to target and disrupt legitimate business operations. To meet the challenge of the evolving threat landscape; companies must raise awareness of cyber issues with their management and staff; educate on how to deal with the threat and provide simple and practical training that reinforces education.By so doing, you create a positive and proactive cyber culture that forms your last line of defence. You are only as secure as your weakest link.

LANWAN Technologies helps you with the following:

• A fully customised training program
• A security awareness training presentation.
• A follow-up quiz to help measure training effectiveness
• A Training compliance report.
