Our client functions as the implementing arm of the National
Department of Transport whose main objectives are to ensure rail commuter
services are provided within, to and from the country in the public interest,
and to provide long haul passenger rail and bus services within, to and from
the country.
The governmental agency discovered a security flaw in the way it was
transferring sensitive financial information to various financial organisations
opening the business up to potential theft of funds. There were a number of
issues with the process but the overriding problem was caused by the ease with
which files could be intercepted despite using a well respected secure file
transfer platform.
we were invited, by referral, to investigate the process and
technologies used with the flawed setup and subsequently proposed a bespoke solution
which would dramatically reduce the number of human interactions the files and
minimize persistence of sensitive data which was accepted and given the go
ahead.
After 6 weeks of development and testing a fully bespoke secure
managed file transfer platform was implemented.
Sensitive files are now created and transferred securely with
out any human interaction. Logs and reports are generated to show the success or
failure of transfers with headline statistics. There is no longer any
persistence of the data once the files are transferred.
