Reporting 2.0
Requirements
As part of the managed security service, IT security services and reports are provided to Gesundheit Nord. After the start of operation of this service, it was determined that the reports and the proof of service availability did not meet the customer's expectations. For this reason, the Reporting 2.0 project was started. The requirements were the creation of a concept for the implementation of proactive service monitoring and adaptation with regard to the scope and content of the reports to answer security-related questions. At the same time, the scope of the reports was expanded to include a KPI report.
Services & Solutions
- Conducting workshops to define the scope of services
- Creation of a reporting concept with the reports to be implemented and the monitoring of IT security services
- Implementation of service monitoring for mail, Internet, AV scanner, URL filtering, IDS/IPS, pattern update of systems and mail encryption
- Extension to include the monitoring of additional critical customer services
- Use of Splunk for customer-specific reports
- Adaptation and extension of reports of the manufacturer solutions FortiAnalyzer, BlueCoat Reporter and ManageEngine OPManager
- Automatic creation of KPI reports, whereby the separation of technical and management KPIs of service availability was implemented
- Alerting of service disruptions in the NOC of Controlware

Advantages & Benefits
- The customer benefits from transparency in operational security through measurable and traceable service availability. In addition, there is a gain in security through active monitoring of the IT security services and through the reports, which make it possible to identify new questions and contribute significantly to answering them.
- For the client and the service providers, the reports are an essential building block in the continuous monitoring of the development of IT security in Health North.
- Completion of the project on schedule with a regular status check by the service manager.
