Background

Amadeus, a travel technology company, has appointed a Chief Information Security Officer for the Asia-Pacific region. He wants an assessment of the level of security of the 13 countries that make up his perimeter. This security audit should allow the strategic needs for the region to be identified and prioritized.

Challenges

Wavestone supports the client in analyzing each of the entities:

  • Attractiveness and sensitivity – each entity has specific activities and can process data of various levels of sensitivity (client data, banking data, intellectual property data, etc.).
  • Maturity of the security level – this involves assessing not only the level of cybersecurity protection but also the ability to detect an attack and react appropriately.
  • Physical safety – physical access to the premises of the various entities is considered sensitive and is therefore part of the scope of the audits.
