Defence research-ready in 12 weeks
International university research team
Challenge: Stand up an accredited secure environment for a defence research programme, covering ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and the controls expected by international defence prime contractors and supply-chain assessors, without adding load to a small research and IT team.
Solution: ORCA Opti delivered a managed secure environment end to end: ISO 27001 aligned controls deployed and tested automatically, SOPs and policies aligned to international defence procurement expectations, and ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 management systems at the core. Controls and evidence were assembled inside ORCA, ready for defence supplier assessment, with very little load on the customer's research and IT teams.
It was a priority for the organisation to do Defence and Government research projects. We needed an environment for under 10 people and couldn't wait for the network uplift project to complete. This solution was cost-effective and fast.(Name withheld), Research Department
