Hybrid estates of legacy on-prem systems, cloud SaaS and bespoke integrations.
Overview
Organisations range from small local practices to large national banks and insurers. They keep client-centric records and separate client estates from operational systems. Daily pressures include unauthorised access, credential theft, phishing, ransomware, transaction errors and third-party supplier failures.
Estates combine legacy on-prem systems with cloud SaaS and numerous bespoke integrations to payments, case and back-office systems. Identity and privileged access must scale across offices, remote staff and contractors. Data protection law and financial supervision create expectations for documented controls, retention and incident notification.
IT & control priorities
Access control and segregation of duties are routine tasks. IT teams run access reviews, manage identity lifecycles and tighten privileged account controls to meet audit needs.
Protecting client data and transaction integrity is constant. Teams work on data loss prevention, backup and ransomware defences, and securing integrations with payments and case systems.
Supplier risk, insecure remote connections and phishing are recurring problems. Teams tune threat protection, conditional access and recovery configurations within the tools they run.
Working with legal & financial organisations
Armstrong can assist internal IT teams with selecting, configuring and integrating software for identity, access, threat protection and data loss prevention. The focus is on product setup, policy configuration, bespoke integrations and knowledge transfer so in-house teams can operate controls.
Armstrong often helps with access reviews, identity governance, privileged access tooling and ransomware-protection configuration. Armstrong does not operate customer environments.
