Work Experience

Confidential

Project Consultant PCI-DSS Compliance Programme

  • Reporting directly to the Global security Director, My initial role was to assess the project scope and deliverables and identify the quickest and most efficient route to compliance for the organisation. Initially the project had scoped to deliver compliancy across its entire estate by implementing a 500k DTMF-Suppression Semafone solution to de-scope the contact centre environments, implementation of an in-house 'payment portal' that utilizes iframe technology for contact centre and web apps, segmenting the CDE back end card processing servers from the core network via DMZ and then completing a SAQ-D by end of August 2012.
  • On commencement I assessed the environment and identified that only 10 of the desktop estate should be classed as inscope and promoted the implementation of a segmented desktop infrastructure. We then commenced a security upgrade of this Card Data environment which ensured quick and simple compliance. To complete the solution we are to enable 'Automated Pause Resume' functionality on the already deplopyed call recording solution that means compliance will be realized in the timeframes required and without the 500k Semafone investment. A number of other workstreams to resolve VoIP encryption and Legacy Call Recording issues are also inscope and in process of being delivered.
  • I also engaged the QSA, not previously done, and all solutions and strategies have been 'GAP analyzed' by him and approved.

  • Project Manager IAM Identity and Access Management Rolls Royce Account
  • The Project is scoped to deliver an Access Management and Identity Management solution for up to 30,000 global users for initially 10 applications and all future applications.
  • Using the traditional Waterfall/Agile Project methodology this is a short term engagement to assist in getting the project out of Red status, back into delivery and in the System Testing phase.
  • Following significant slippage and delays I was tasked to assess the project position, deliverables and capabilities with the directive to progress the project technically into a system test position and also identify and resolve other failing areas to enable the customer to move the project out of red status.
  • Inside the first 3 weeks I managed and focused a team of 4 technical resources to identify and deliver the essential requirements to enable the project to successfully enter System Testing with a working solution that could successfully complete ST and subsequently managed to deliver a number of other key project activities to enable the project to move from red to amber.

  • I undertook a full Gap Analysis to assess and review their entire estate including their ecommerce environment, back office systems, outsourced contact centers, third party suppliers and their own 1500 seat contact centers. Following completion of the Gap Analysis we produced an activity list for all identified service providers and departments responsible for non compliant areas and managed delivery of these to effect compliance.
  • I also identified significant a number of risks and issues in the contact centers and sourced and implemented a DTMF suppression solution that de-scoped their entire infrastructure from compliance, saving over 2m and removed issues such as stored card data in call recording solutions, data cleansing of stored card data and mitigation of an estimated 11m per annum of risk.
