Application Security and Governance Strategy
IFG has developed and tested a robust information Application Security and Architecture Governance framework with supporting methodologies to generate your organization’s comprehensive, highly actionable, and measurable security strategy and roadmap. IFG’s security framework combines Identity Management, Privileged Access, and API Management objectives and aligns them with NIST SP 800-53 critical security controls to ensure that all areas of security are considered, covered, and reported upon. To ensure that the security strategy is built in alignment with and supportive of enterprise and IT strategies and plans, we provide checklists, tools, and processes to gather requirements across the organization, key stakeholders, customers, regulators, and other parties. IFG’s tested and proven rationalization and prioritization methodologies ensure that the strategy is not only the one the organization needs, but also the one the organization can support.
Information Security
Business is built on trust. This trust is based upon a foundation of both protecting an organization’s data assets while enabling users to easily conduct business. This trust can be quickly eroded due to a security breach. Deploying application security software is often used to prevent and/or identify these breaches. However, this approach all too often only addresses the symptom(s) and not the root cause. A comprehensive security program that addresses the key components of people, processes, and technology enables our clients to protect data assets while conducting business, and in the event of a breach, to quickly remediate.
IFG offers a broad and comprehensive range of expertise to support your Information Security strategy with extensive experience in the assessment, planning, implementation, and oversight of information security programs. We provide independent security control assessments and focus on critical incident response to physical and information security threats, auditing, and computer-aided dispatching consulting using industry security control standards.

Information Security goes hand in hand with other aspects of an organization’s security services such as network security, data security, and other cybersecurity services to help companies protect, detect, and respond in the event of an incident. IFG also assists organizations to design, build, run, maintain, and monitor their applications.
Security Operations (SecOps)
While the technologies, processes, and cultural shifts of DevOps have improved the ability of software teams to rapidly and effectively deliver reliable work, security has not been a focal point in the transformation of cloud IT infrastructure. As Information Security teams become more important in organizations, there is often a distinct gap that arises between them and IT Operations teams.
By implementing SecOps, your organization can reap a multitude of benefits stemming from the integration of operations, security, and development functions and the alignment of your goals including more efficient operations; reduced resource utilization; and fewer cloud and app security issues and disruptions.
The IFG team can assist you with collaboration between IT Security and IT Operations to effectively mitigate risk; enable your teams to prioritize and remediate critical vulnerabilities; and systematically address compliance violations through an integrated and automated approach across your multi cloud environment.
