Police Constabularies across the UK are under increasing pressure to comply with guidelines such as the Management of Police Information (MOPI) and, more broadly, the Information Systems Strategy for the Police Service (ISS4PS). This is to enable a blanket standardisation of processes and data to achieve more streamlined and effective police collaboration.
Akin to this legislation, managing multiple thousands of users from an infrastructure and applications perspective can prove extremely challenging. Quest's combination of deep technical expertise and keen understanding of police IT operations has allowed us to achieve partnerships with the country's leading constabularies.
Our number one objective is to develop cost-effective and strategic solutions to remedy some of the your most prominent pains.
File/Data Migrations
Under new guidelines a number of police forces are realising that files and folders are unsecure and open to misuse. Migrating to new file structures, with more organised and heightened security permissions can easily be achieved using Quest's Storage Suite for Windows.
Auditing
By 2010 there is a requirement, as part of the Association of Chief Police Officers' (ACPO) Community Security Policy (CSP), to have all user activity auditable. Using Quest's InTrust solution, all employee activity can be logged and reported from one central repository. So what do we audit? Basically, if there is a log generated, we audit it.
User Provisioning
Managing several thousand users within a police organisation can be a daunting task. How long does it take you to provide network access to a new employee? What about eliminating access when an employee is terminated? Using Quest's ActiveRoles Server, you can streamline the "hire to retire" process. This unmatched solution automates provisioning, re-provisioning and de-provisioning of users.
