Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical Infrastructure Provisioning Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step Work Plans and maturity diagnostics for any Infrastructure Provisioning related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Infrastructure Provisioning specific requirements:


STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...

  • The latest quick edition of the Infrastructure Provisioning Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.

Organized in a Data Driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…

  • Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation

Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 945 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of Process Design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Infrastructure Provisioning improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 945 standard requirements:

  1. Ids/ips traffic pattern analysis can often detect or block attacks such as a denial-of-service attack or a network scan. However, in some cases this is legitimate traffic (such as using Cloud Infrastructure for load testing or security testing). Does the cloud provider have a documented exception process for allowing legitimate traffic that the ids/ips flags as an attack pattern?

  2. At a high level, the challenge with the Patriot Act can be viewed as location, location, location. Exactly where is your data physically, and therefore whose government policies will your data be subject to?

  3. Having defined its strategy and target client base, the CSP must define the requirements for providing services to that client base. What specific regulatory or industry requirements are applicable?

  4. Question to cloud service provider: What auditing logs, reports, alerts and notifications do you provide in order to monitor user access both for your needs and for the needs of your auditor?

  5. Question to cloud service provider: Do you offer Single Sign-On for access across multiple applications you offer, or trusted federated Single Sign-On across applications with other vendors?

  6. How do you Identify the different workloads and how they need to interact? Which models are appropriate based on security and trust requirements and the systems they need to interface to?

  7. IaaS has several deployment options, e.g. Public, Virtual Private or Private. Does your organization foresee requirements for an IaaS with security posture requiring private deployment?

  8. Estimate organization exposure if cloud vendor experiences an illegal or unauthorized release/breach of data. How many private records will your organization be storing in the cloud?

  9. The esb platform is a critical infrastructure service to your organization, especially as you host more applications and services over time. should it be considered a tier-1 service?

  10. As an infrastructure evolves with on demand capability, do services become a business rather than infrastructure function when they link directly to payment services, for example?
