Standard security posture

Description of the initiative

The initiative aims at standardizing the security exposure of Solvay application on internet and intranet. Indeed, in the current setup, services are exposed with different patterns (Level 4 and Level 7 load balancer or Reverse Proxies). The ambition of this initiative is to rationalize and standardize the technology later protecting applications and services. This would increase reliability while simplifying maintenance for the different applications.

Roadmap & Key objectives

Roadmap


2023 Digital Technology Key objective


Priority

Enter the level of priority of your initiative: P1 must do by day 1/ P2 can do/ P3 parked for now

P1

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives


Do

  • Create Envision brief if the initiative is part of the validated roadmap

  • Highlight roadmap value
  • Request a budget for Strategize if you need one
  • Security scoring 
  • RADAR/SENTRI

Don´t

  • Request platform resources if the business capability is already identified and clear
  • Write portfolio epics, epics and user stories
  • Identify squad resources

First, let´s start with the Problem space

1.1. Reason

* Why is this initiative proposed today?

Design a standard way of exposing a service to users whether on internet or intranet (replacing the big diversity of solutions in place today such as direct exposure, NAT, load balancers L4, load balancers L7...) to unify our security posture

1.2. Benefits

What are the new capabilities expected?

Improve Security posture


What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?

NA

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

All users access to DT applications from intranet or internet


What is the number of users impacted?

All users access to DT applications from intranet or internet


What about the Business Needs?

1.4. Value proposition

What is the value of the initiative?

Improve Security posture

1.5. Business goals

How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?

Run the business (part of "Infrastructure Security exposure regroupment)

1.6. Challenges

Are there any challenges in developing the product?

No developpment of production

1.7. Business metrics

How will we measure success?

% of standardization of access

1.8. Cybersecurity

Please duplicate this template in this folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" sheet. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com

1.9. Up to investment


What is the coherent time to commit on the initiative?*

Estimated Delivery phase start date*

 

Estimated Delivered end Quarter*

20th December 2023


What is the coherent money to commit on the initiative?*


2023 (in K€)* 2024 (in K€)* 2025 (in K€)

Estimated size of investment (high level)

 80




What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?

Estimated run costs (estimation high level) - on 10Y (if already known)


Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...)  

1.10. Resources

What skills and talents do we need? 

H&C Tech Lead, Platform Architect


1.11. Methodology to apply (refer for Accolade)

Do you think if your initiative is compatible with a waterfall approachor with an agile approach?

  • Agile model
  • Waterfall model
  • I do not know at this stage

If the initiative will be done in Agile methodology, please contact during the strategize phase Nicolas LOVAGNINI

Phase 2: Strategize


Do

  • Identify portfolio epics and epics within each portfolio epics
  • Create a document / slide / spreadsheet to build your epics and put a link in the bief
  • Estimate experts and budget by portfolio epics or by increment
  • Show SMART KPI (Specific, Measureable, Archievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound)
  • Evaluate the impact on Solvay One Planet objectives

Don´t

  • Identify squad resources (naming)
  • Write user stories


Now, we can move on to the Solution space
