The safety of its citizens is the top priority for any regional police office. To take it to the next level, a local authority (which has to remain anonymous) aims to bolster security and productivity for its staff, both on-site and in-the-field operations, with a Microsoft 365 environment fine-tuned for security and data privacy. Read all about how our project and technical leads conceived of and executed a Microsoft 365 proof-of-concept rollout.

Key steps:

#1 – Juridical and organizational rollout preparations for Microsoft 365 to all employees across the test group

Even before running a PoC study, legal feasibility had to be ensured. Swiss IT Security AG and the authorities worked closely with their legal departments and lawyers to establish data security and privacy guidelines.

#2 – Technical scope and execution

 Microsoft 365 had to be customized on a policy and technical level to ensure data privacy and proper behavior is in-line with guidelines set by the police office and Swiss IT Security AG, to prevent any data from leaking outside of the organization.

# 3 – Project leadership

Once all technical restrictions had been properly prepared and accounted for, Swiss IT Security AG moved from theory to execution, launching project management of the PoC in co-operation with stakeholders, ICT operators, and other service providers.

Our expertise, project leadership, and stakeholder management guaranteed both a successful plan and execution of this PoC.
