The first part of any mature monitoring posture is understanding your data, your users and your business requirements. Apto’s Discovery helps you build a comprehensive and actionable snapshot of your organisation’s monitoring posture and provides you with actionable steps to ensure your platform provides the coverage you need.
The Right Time for Discovery
Keeping on top of the needs of your organisation can be difficult, especially in times of increased growth and business change and when internal resources are limited. These challenges cover IT Operations through to production monitoring and ensuring business services remain available. To identify risks to these services and how to manage them, a business must identify the key services, infrastructure, and data. Other areas in which Discovery can help:
- You need to comply with contractual regulations for SLA’s
- You’ve never had a second opinion on your monitoring implementation
- You need to verify and prove your operational resilience to your customers
- You need oversight over an increasing third-party supply chain that services rely on
- You’re wondering if you have gaps in your coverage
Even organisations that have a relatively mature model in place may decide that they need an external view of their structure and risk profile so that any gaps or priorities can be identified and addressed.
Multi-Step Discovery Process
Apto’s discovery assessment process will be completely customised to meet your goals for compliance, confidence or validation of your posture. We’ll take the time to really understand your organisation and where it currently stands and provide a clear assessment of your maturity and how to take this forward.
Platform assessments require collaboration with many parts of your organisation; it will include a review of your non-technical and technical policies and frameworks, so we actively encourage engagement from a wide range of stakeholders.
We’ll guide you through a typical 10-day process that has clear methodical phases that encompass data discovery, report preparation and review.
