IT Security Assessment, Enterprise Architecture Plan and Implementation

Tepa employees provided a comprehensive information technology (IT) security system assessment for the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, including an architecture requirements analysis and a new IT enterprise architecture plan.

Tepa placed two employees on-site to implement the new architecture and infrastructure. Tasks included:

• Capability gap analysis

• Remediation recommendations
• New IT Enterprise Architecture (ITES) plan
• Assessment of business value and return on investment (ROI)
