DataOpus Consulting
Below are the typical services we provide. Our services are tailored to best align for your needs and budget
Proof of Concept
Our Proof of Concept (POC) service is the ideal way to learn about the benefits of DataOpus and how to quickly improve your resiliency posture. POC engagements are typically 30 calendar days so organizations can understand how to establish truly resilient database platforms and maximize the value of the DataOpus tool.
During the POC, your organization will have a dedicated team consisting of at least one Resiliency Coach and a Customer Success Advocate. Our team will provide all necessary training, consulting, coaching, mentoring, management, and meeting facilitation.
Our team and yours will collaborate to minimally develop Plans of Action, Roadmaps, Governance, Standards, Risk/Issue Backlog, Measures & Metrics, and a Common Language.
These short-term engagements are guaranteed to provide immediate Return-on-Investment beyond database resiliency.
Resiliency Consulting and Coaching
We help teams and individuals help themselves so they can become self-sufficient in building resilient software supply chains and databases.
Our team members are trainers, mentors, consultants, and coaches. Besides our deep experience with cybersecurity, our team members are extremely well versed in iteratively and incrementally securing what is most important. We will be successful by employing an Agile-mindset as well as concepts and methods like Lean, Lean Thinking, Kanban, and eXtreme Programming (XP).
Right-sized Engagements
We will collaborate with your organization to develop a coaching plan that best suits your needs. Whether you need one coach or more, three months or three years, DataOpus will work with you to shape the engagement before we start as well as establish short-term objectives to ensure we are helping you with the right-stuff at the right-time in the right-way.
Experience Matters
Our coaches generally have more than 10 years of practical experience. Should we discover needs along the way, that we are not experts with, we have a large, trusted partner network that can be leveraged.
Risk and Compliance
The Executive Order (EO) on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity signed on May 12th, 2021, outlined several cybersecurity measures and requirements intended to harden our nation’s digital infrastructure against increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks. As these updates get incorporated into the Federal Acquisition Regulation for government contractors, they will become mandatory prerequisites for contract renewal.
These new cybersecurity requirements, implied from the EO, introduce challenges for agencies and contractors. Aligning to the EO is especially challenging as the scope is evolving. In addition to the EO, Congress has additional cybersecurity bills working through the House and Senate that provide money and new requirements.
Our Software Risk & Compliance Management service is an iterative three-phase approach that helps reduce the time, cost, and risk of organizations who must comply to Federal cybersecurity mandates and evolving updates. As we are an active participant in the Cybersecurity community, our goal is to help organizations develop a shared understanding and alignment with EO requirements and new Congressional mandates so they can continue to deliver value with a robust cybersecurity policy.
Advisory Subscription Service
No matter the resiliency / cybersecurity challenges your organization faces, our subscription-based service aims to continually provide direct insight, feedback, and answers to questions or issues you have.
Our consultants have extensive experience with database engineering, software supply chains, resiliency, technical coaching, training, and risk management so leverage our expertise until your organization is self-sufficient.
We typically offer 1 to 4 hours of Advisory Subscription Services a week billable monthly. However, we certainly offer the flexibility to scale up & down as needed.
