Description of the initiative

Needs description: This project is related to the incident that impacted Torrelavega SodaAsh site and the connection from Dataiku to Vendohm Database. An assessment was done and the team find out more 150 projects that are out of GCP Landing Zone, which represents a high security risk as the projects are not under full DT control.

Following non exhaustive actions needs to be taken:
- Classifying the projects and searching for the application owners/accountables
- Decommissioning the non used projects (Bringing some potential OPEX savings)
- Identity and Access management cleaning
- Application replatforming including network changes

Added value: this project is a security remediation plan so the added value is to improve our cloud cybersecurity posture.

Please see here more information for this project.

Budget estimated: the budget will be estimated in the Strategize phase, however, this budget will be fully included in the actual budget of the Information Security & Compliance platform. So this is not a new budget request.

P1

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives


Understand: Why is this initiative proposed? What are the consequences if not done? What are the new capabilities expected?

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

  • Highlight roadmap value
  • Request a budget for Strategize if you need one => not needed, budget will be included in the actual S&C platform budget
  • Security scoring 
  • RADAR/SENTRI  
  • 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?

Explain what are the motivations and the expected objective behind this initiative/ what are the consequences if not done?

  • Solvay Google Cloud Platform has been used since 2015
  • It was only in 2020 where the definition of “Landing Zone” has been implemented, with managed service contract with Vanenburg
  • The priority was to manage those in the Landing Zone with the Key Partner, focusing on security by design and new workloads
  • However, there are still a high volume of workloads running outside Landing Zone
  • These workloads are “managed internally by other platforms”, some are lacking of ownership due to legacies, or managed with an agency that does not fall into an official service contract
  • During the Cloud Penetration Test in December 2021, “critical” vulnerabilities and misconfigurations have been remediated throughout 2022
  • Since Q4 2022 and 2023, there are still some “medium” and “low” vulnerabilities and misconfigurations on GCP

1.2. Benefits

What are the new capabilities expected?

No new capabilities only security remediation.


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

No replacement and no new solution, only security remediation.

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

Identify the future users (BU, sites...) and population concerned

No impact on users.


What is the number of users impacted?

No impact on users.


What about the Business Needs?

1.4. Value proposition

What is the value of the initiative?

Financial Business expectation (ROI, benefits, savings,...) + Qualitative Business expectation (business value, market fit, visibility,...)

This project is a security remediation plan so the added value is to improve our cloud cybersecurity posture.

1.5. Business goals

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

Business is not involved in the project however the objective of this project is to improve our Cloud cybersecurity posture in order to prevent any GCP security issue (data leak, availability issue...).

1.6. Challenges

Are there any challenges in developing the product?

No major challenge identified except the timing.

1.7. Business metrics

How will we measure success?

Complexity level were defined here - so success measurement will be performed based on this complexity level.

1.8. Cybersecurity

Please duplicate this template in this folder. Then, for the envision phase, answerto the initiative card tab and  to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" tab. 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

If not able to answer yet, explain it at the Envision gate and it will be the DTLT to decide if green light or not considering with the high level of uncertainty 

The "Initiative Card" and the "Security Scoring" are fulfilled. Please find here the SIP Tool.

1.9. Up to investment


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

Estimated Delivery phase start date*

 

Estimated Delivered end Quarter*

Q4 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)

135k€

between 150 k€ and 200 k€


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

Only run cost impact - TCO over 10Y will be finalized during the strategize phase

Estimated run costs (estimation high level) per year on xxYear (xx= duration of the contract if known) + Type of run cost

No run costs.

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

1.10. Resources

What skills and talents do we need? 

Here kind of skills required in order to start to fill the Capacity Planning.  If name already available please write the name

This list will be adjusted in the Strategize phase but here are some assumptions:

  • DT LT members (for arbitration on projects under their platforms responsibility: KEEP or DECOMM)
  • S&C Platform: Fadi Bechara, Anja Milenkovic
  • H&C Platform: Alexandre Mathe, Khemaies KEBAIER 
  • Development, Test & Deployment Platform: Alexander Henry Tejasukmana, Darren Ong
  • Application Owners
  • Acenture: some support from Accenture will be maybe needed
  • Vanenburg: in case of rebuild is needed


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


Understand: How this bring value? Which pain points will it removes? Will it be delivered in Agile or Waterfall?

  • Identify portfolio epics and epics within each portfolio epics
  • Create a document / slide / spreadsheet to build your epics and put a link in the brief
  • 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
  • Identify squad resources (naming)
  • Write user stories


Now, we can move on to the Solution space
