Mycroft

Our Full Lifecycle solutions address a broad range of client business challenges.

Mycroft is an IT Services Organization focusing on Identity Management and Application Security, and Security Compliance. We offer a Full Lifecycle of services associated to the design, development, implementation, support and management of identity management and security solutions.

We help our clients move solutions into production – whether through traditional means (on-site, specialized projects) or through the delivery of a managed or hosted service. Mycroft owns and operates a secure Network Operations Center (NOC), from which we can maintain client environments. Mycroft also offers base builds and fixed-cost phase 1 implementations, enabling clients to minimize the complexities of these systems – and to more quickly achieve tangible results.

We pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive set of services within our area of specialization, including a unique support offering (post-implementation) to provide our clients with access to proper implementation- and configuration-specific support channels.  Mycroft’s support offering is specifically structured to facilitate our clients’ acquisition of more affordable subject-matter expertise to resolve their business challenges. 

 

THE MYCROFT DIFFERENCE

Mycroft’s approach to Identity Management is reflected by Six Guiding Principles:

• We leverage our considerable lessons-learned from hundreds of implementations.
• Rather than simply automating existing standards, we always review the current practices to determine what substantive changes are required.
• We never begin a project with the proverbial blank piece of paper – we walk our clients through examples of what has worked and what hasn’t in comparable situations at other organizations.
• Not every implementation need be a "work of art" – we stress the creation of foundation technology first. The "art" comes into play in future phases, when true customization begins.
• We always relate identity management projects to specific business challenges. Business leads – technology follows;  never the other way around.
• We always break down initiatives into management pieces, ensuring that "project amnesia" doesn't set in. Smaller pieces help our clients better stay abreast of what we’re accomplishing along the way, and remember why it’s important.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO WHAT?

As regulatory pressures increase, so does the need to secure and manage access to IT assets. 

Some regulations require businesses to protect consumer information when dealing with financial information (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Payment Card Industry) and with consumer medical information (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA). Also, stringent accountability requirements for business financial governance were introduced with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act that oblige organizations to implement identity-based controls on financial systems.

The consequences of not adequately addressing security requirements have never been higher, and the stakes will only continue to rise as user populations become more varied and complex. Organizations now have to manage access for geographically dispersed employees, partners, contractors, vendors, consultants and clients – all of whom have frequently shifting circumstances impacting their access needs and rights.  In addition, the volume and growth of resources these workers need access to create complicated challenges for businesses charged with protecting and securing corporate information.

At Mycroft, we work in partnership with our clients to determine their business challenges and requirements, and then provide sustainable, automated identity management solutions. We are experts in directory services, enterprise access management, single sign-on, entitlement management, delegation, role-based access control, provisioning, and federation.  We also provide world-class maintenance and management of these systems.
