Quintain
Quintain own and manage a smart city of newly built high-end apartments in and around Wembley Park with the desired goal of achieving a level of living designed to meet Londoners lifestyle, whilst being a Digital-driven organization. Complete Cyber were appointed to evaluate and improve Quintain’s security maturity posture to ensure alignment with the NIST security framework to bolster Quintains IT and building IoT security aspects by deploying a long-term program aimed at improving security across many areas related to Cybersecurity.
SCOPE
CHALLENGES
Shifting the culture of an organization composed of different operating companies is no mean feat. Further to this, we had a large consultancy undertake the maturity assessment on Quintain and perform a Maturity Capability Assessment and had scored Quintain at the lower end of the maturity scale. Our challenge was to coordinate a four pillar approach constituting of security governance, resilience, technical security controls and develop security operations across the business to improve the Cyber maturity score by a factor of double the current evaluation.
OUTCOMES
Within the space of 6 months, we had attributed an increase in the capability maturity score for Quintain improving areas such as, security governance and risk management, training and awareness and improved in areas of resilience. We also coordinated extensive security testing across the different operating companies, implementing a vulnerability management system to scan and triage vulnerabilities of different classifications. The overall outcome is that the business that operates a build-to-rent sector using extensive Digital systems was slowly becoming more secure at its infrastructure boundaries whilst addressing security controls internally.
