| Large government organization |
In cooperation with Iquip (now known as Sogeti), Madison Gurkha
has performed an extensive technical security audit (ETSA)
on a very large e-business setup with large amounts of very sensitive
information. Sogeti has audited the support and procedural
organization and Madison Gurkha the technical IT
security aspects. Because of the sensitive information
and the high visibility of the project, the work
of Madison Gurkha has also been audited. With a very good outcome,
ofcourse.

Multinational high tech organisation

This organization wanted to setup a new e-commerce site for its
employees, customers and partners. This site was quite complex with
around 15 windows 2000 based systems. Our task consisted of developing
guidelines based on SANS to improve IT security. Also a lot of problem
solving and trouble shooting was done by Madison Gurkha, because hardening
the systems in a late stage of the project was quite a challenging task.
Besides this we cooperated with the definition and setup of the operational
organisation.

Multinational high tech organisation

This organization wanted to provide functionality on its intranet
to its customers, partners and suppliers. The programs were
originally developed for internal use only and the code
was very insecure. Madison Gurkha developed guidelines for secure
programming and audited a few applications, also for educational
purposes. Based on the new guidelines and a secure programming awareness
session, the organization can write better new code and review
existing programs on IT security aspects and improve these programs.

| International provider |
For this provider Madison Gurkha performed an Extensive
Technical Security Audit (ETSA). Reasons for this extensive audit
were suspicions of break-ins and abuse of resources. We encountered
indeed some very serious IT security flaws. Ofcourse these flaws are
now mitigated.

| Large financial services organization |
For this financial organization Madison Gurkha has
performed a so called black-box security audit (also known as
penetration test or ethical hack). The target was a new e-commerce environment
where customers can get online quotes. Madison Gurkha was able to take over the system
as administrator / root. You can read more about this project in an article that has been published in the
"Automatisering Gids" (dutch).
