Nnigma Inc. was founded in 2002 as a result of the founder's dissatisfaction with the (then) existing methodologies and solutions for designing and implementing comprehensive ERP security.

As a leader in the ERP Information security and Identity Management consulting space, Nnigma helps its clients with the following:
 

Validating ERP application development security (for SAP, PeopleSoft etc) Reviewing Single Signon, Authentication and Authorization strategies Auditing and validating current enterprise security solutions Reviewing our clients' information Security Objectives Assessing management policies, Guidelines, Standards, Procedures Enterprise data classification/reclassification for security purposes Risk assessment/analysis models to identify threats, classify assets, and to rate system vulnerabilities so that effective controls can be implemented. Identification of potential Compliance issues IT Disaster Planning Statistical Risk Analysis Models Review of security management best practices Design of Security Architecture and Models Reviewing enterprise Portal Strategies and associated security risks.

The foundation of our work is a deep understanding of not only enterprise security and application security but also of the complex challenges that come from implementing even a midsized ERP application. We offer a distinct and powerful global perspective that can only come from working with our clients in different time zones around the world. Our consultants work with world class tools like Oblix COREId and Netegrity Siteminder in conjunction with PeopleSoft and SAP systems.

We understand the plethora of compliance issues that affect companies as they implement ERP systems. We focus on potential risks and threats associated with the implementation of PeopleSoft, SAP and other ERP systems. Our consultants have decades of ERP security experience and have seen different permutations and combinations of security configurations.

We believe in short, discreet engagements (usually a maximum of 3 months).
 

We typically we come in to an organization at the beginning of the ERP project and we perform an Nnigma Initial Snapshot Analysis and Recommendation (NISAR). We meet with Management, consulting partners and technical staff to get a rough idea of the security landscape and management objectives for the project. This process is designed to be as discreet as possible and our staff work as observers. We then prepare an initial report for the client and then disengage. This lasts approximately one month.

If the client so desires, we come back in a few months later (during the middle of the implementation) and we perform a mid project review with all technical stakeholders. We call this an Nnigma Mid Term Analysis and Recommendation (NMTAR). Here, We compare the state of the security landscape to what it was a few months back and make recommendations for improvements, mid course corrections etc. In our experience, this is the most crucial time to cement the security strategy for an ERP implementation. This is also the time when projects start to slip. We are able to share our industry knowledge with key technical resources and management. After we present our deliverable, we disengage. This also lasts for approximately one month.

The third time we come back in is a month before the go live date. We then work with our clients to make sure that from a security perspective, the project looks like it's on the right track. We call this an Nnigma Finish Line Analysis (NFLA). We then present our clients with a comprehensive deliverable of where they started, made changes and have ended. We also make recommendations about potential open issues, nice to haves and upgrade related concerns.

We have also been engaged by clients to do random independent security analyses and pre-ERP analysis and recommendations.

We are able to differentiate our services in three major ways.

1) We have ERP application experience as well as enterprise security experience.
2) All we do is security work. No generic consulting add-ons.
3) We have reasonable rates.

We have developed rigorous and reusable tools and methods for analyzing risk and making sound recommendations for ERP security solutions. These tools and methods help our clients to assess the impact of strategic decisions before they are acted upon.

Using our industry, business-process knowledge and our insight into/access to existing and emerging technologies, we identify new application and enterprise security trends and formulate and implement solutions for clients under demanding time constraints.

Our mission is to continue to provide comprehensive security recommendations and solutions to our clients all over the world.
