ACU - Digital Transformation for Information Advantage As part of a wider portfolio of work to digitally trans-form three agencies within Secure Government. The ACU Framework covers 3 programmes of work delivered for the client by AE, with interrelated areas of cross-over, as the client refers to a corelated institution of three secure-Gov agencies who share some, but not all, systems and processes.

Content @3 - Digital Transformation Content @3 is a collaboration between three secure government departments to improve and share analytical toolsets and data across the analyst communities. On mobilisation Austin Elliot identified a lack of overarching and coherent strategy, governance, architecture (enterprise and systems) and sponsorship, as well as competing priorities and differing work practices between the three organisations.

CyberFirst - Cyber Security Austin Elliot was commissioned to roll out the CyberFirst initiative, supporting Cyber Security education. This was an initiative commissioned by the NCSC, which took an iterative approach delivered by region, scaling the programme to increase the talent pipeline for cyber security skills across the UK, with the aim of addressing the skills shortage in this area.

Data Management - Supporting Information Advantage Data Management @3 is a collaboration between three secure government departments to improve and share toolsets and data across analyst communities. On mobilisation Austin Elliot identified a lack of overarching strategy, policy, shared standards, clear governance across departments and Data ownership, as well as competing priorities and differing work practices between the three organisations.  Ultimately a cohesive and common approach to Data Management and data cataloguing needed to be adopted.

Digital Platforms Capability Centre (DPCC) - Transformational Change As part of a wider portfolio of work to digitally transform the three agencies within Secure Government.  Digital Platforms Capability Centre (DPCC), provides a suite of services to support applications, databases and software hosting and development for a wide array of consumers across multiple clients and locations. DPCC housed all their network servers and data centres ‘on premises’ but wanted to migrate to the cloud and a new on premises site forming the future hybrid cloud. They needed to do this while still being accessible from multiple locations. As a relatively new capability centre and one of ten in OneIT, DPCC needed a new Target Operating Model and new service lines to deliver the platforms for hosting. Read more

IAE - Journey to Cloud

A secure Gov client, enacting the transformation to cloud-based working, encountered issues with the change being tech-led, rather than user-led, specifically identifying the role of their Analysts function and the negative impact the transformation was having on their needs to facilitate optimised work efficiency.  

The client identified that their transformation to the cloud created an opportunity to modernise their systems, listen more effectively to the real problems faced by their Analysts, and adapt their tools and processes to future-proof the Analyst function.  

Identify and Access Management (IdAM) PKI - Digital Architecture Austin Elliot was tasked with delivering updated PKI solutions, utilising implemented industry best-practice solutions. The commission was to approach this in a tailored manner to meet multiple use-cases, whilst concurrently supporting the SDA to gain approval for the required policy updates. Read more

JimmyWorks Holistic Network - Technical Capabilities  The client required support to generate the future requirement of the Next Generation Communication Network (NGCN), Network Operations Centre.  This would provide a novel way of managing networks on behalf of the MOD, via a single enterprise network. Read more

MoJ OPG Roadmap Implementation - Data Governance The Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) service provision is significantly impaired by manual processes, and poor Data Governance / Management. ​ This leads to long delays in the most vulnerable people being able to access much needed support. It also creates inaccuracies in reporting and finances, leading to poor decision making. Read more

Nario - Digital Transformation The client needed a tool to transfer, process and catalogue sensitive data.​ The client needed to view potentially malicious content whilst ensuring that their own systems were not infected with any harmful programmes.​ In order to manipulate and utilise the data, a new tool was required to aid the client’s analysts. Read more

Scientific Age Assessment - Digital Capability The Home Office receive over 5k applications from unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) to the UK but most UASC are unable to provide documentary evidence of their date of birth.​ To provide additional evidence and ensure a more robust classification process, the Home Office considered the introduction of scientific age assessments. ​Biological analysis of 3 different skeletal body parts using two differing techniques will provide a cross refence result to determine person’s age: Radiograph (X-ray) teeth combined with MRI analysis of their knee, wrist or clavicle. Read more

Scirocco - Digital Transformation When the UK Government identified that their end-product reporting systems were out-dated and required a modernised approach, Austin Elliot was commissioned to design, integrate, and implement a new system, embedding a centralised, common approach for all stakeholder agencies. Read more

SPSH Secure Mobile Communications - Business Change Management In light of emerging global events, our client had an urgent operational requirement to work on secure government systems outside of their main operating buildings. The solution was a secure and encrypted mobile device working over a virtual private network.  This capability pushed the boundaries of existing security postures. The need for a mobile solution to revolutionise secure communications and exclusively bring together 3 multifaceted organisations within Secure Government was of the upmost importance. Read more

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) - System Design The government client is migrating to a hybrid cloud platform. The platform is needed to enable architecture for 36 Government departments across many domains. To enable this, it is essential that there is a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) to underpin the platform, moving from the traditional methodology of access management on the boundary. With the ZTA the access management will be done at the application layer or data set. This will enable a federated ICAM approach with interoperability across all disparate architectures. Ultimately it will allow data of different security classification to be accessible on one network. Applications and data can be shared using Fine Grained Security. Read more
