Safely in the cloud

Safely in the cloud

Nowadays it is necessary to react more quickly to the changing business environment than in the past. The pressure on organisations to be accessible at all times and to make infrastructures scalable and economical in order to be able to access data, systems and applications from anywhere in the world is growing ever stronger. Cloud computing is a topic that is becoming increasingly important in this context. It enables constant access to projects and business data and ensures geographical and physical independence. At the same time, however, complexity is also increasing, as a multitude of requirements in the areas of data privacy, information security and service management must be taken into account. We at Trigonum GmbH have made it our mission to support companies in moving securely into and out of the cloud.

Reasons to work in the cloud

The main reason why more and more businesses are choosing to work in the cloud is the cost factor. Working in the cloud can lead to significant cost savings, as fewer people are needed to perform administrative tasks such as server administration. The scalability of buisnesses will also become simpler and organisations more flexible. An optimal cost-benefit ratio enables companies to work more securely. In the cloud, they only have to pay for what they have actually used, for example in terms of storage space. In addition, many cloud services have very complex security structures and an associated high level of security that individual buisnesses often cannot achieve for capacity reasons. Increased reliability can also be guaranteed by the cloud. Another benefit is cooperation across locations and companies. Collaboration on projects is simplified and all authorized employees have access to the same documents. Shared use increases work efficiency. However, there are a number of aspects that need to be considered when moving into or out of the cloud.

The cloud is becoming more and more important

These include, but are not limited to:

Integration into the existing IT and application landscape
Information security and data privacy measures
Design of service and support processes
Clear task boundaries for the operation and further development of the solutions
drafting of contracts

From the requirements listed above, it is clear that the complexity of cloud projects requires the integration of different disciplines and specialist areas of a business, such as IT, purchasing, data privacy and information security officers and legal departments. The challenge here is to identify requirements, dependencies and risks at an early stage and plan suitable measures to make the cloud project a success, but businesses should not be deterred by the complexity of the cloud. Professional advice and support can limit the risks. For this reason, we have made it our task to advise companies holistically and to accompany them in moving into and out of the cloud. We have developed a process model with which businesses can move securely and efficiently into the cloud. We support companies with a holistic risk analysis in order to identify risks and weak points and close these with suitable measures as well as suitable data privacy and security concepts.
