PROJECT TEAM

Andrey Boyarchuk
Information Security Manager
We began working with the DIS.works team more than five years ago to protect employees' personal workstations. As we grew and entered new regulated markets, the need to comply with high standards became much more crucial. Regular audits for different jurisdictions are quite a complex topic, so our cooperation with DIS.works has moved to a new level, you could say. We appreciate the team's reliable support and the constant growth in the service level very much.

INPUT DATA

Protecting both personal and customer data is a systematic approach that Playson has been working towards for a long time. DIS.works’ practices only helped to look at the work processes from another angle, implement small improvements, polish some of them to perfection, and meet regulators’ requirements.

SOLUTION

RE-COLLECTING DATA ON ALL OF THE COMPANY'S IT ASSETS

The data collection was not excessive given our previous work together. It helped us get to know our client better, their approaches to managing and storing information, and how they transfer it.

DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTED

and our own comparison with the requirements revealed small discrepancies. At this stage, we compiled a complete list of items to be worked on and distributed responsibilities among internal audit participants.

CLEAR AND ADVANCED PLANNING

Distributing responsibilities among participants and detailed reporting helped correct deficiencies quickly and develop new information management processes.

A SUBSEQUENT INTERNAL AUDIT

and a comparison of existing approaches with the required ones guarantee the completion of the final audit and allow the company to verify the maturity of their own processes and how they're built.

Such an approach and self-testing process is necessary for those who are preparing for international certification and those who need to:
  • Check whether you have a comprehensive approach to information management and storage
  • Make sure your own IT infrastructure is valid
