Here are a selection of one-page Dependency Modelling case studies from past projects.
In some cases we are unable to give full details due to commercial or security reasons.

Halving a £1.5 billion CAPEX budget

CAPEX Budget Allocation

A water company was asked to reduce its capital expenditure on infrastructure by almost half. Within six weeks a Dependency Modelling project clearly identified and justified which projects could bear the cuts with minimal impact upon the company's Key Performance Indicators.

Measuring non-financial benefits of Security

Finance House - Physical Security

The personal protection of high net-worth individuals and key staff became an issue when a number of unrelated incidents threatened their personal security over a relatively short time frame. The in-house security professionals needed to produce a well-justified set of recommendations that would both be acceptable to the individuals and highly effective.

Setting Investment Priorities and meeting your KPIs

Electricity Infrastructure Investment Justification

The end client is the Investment Appraisal Manager and required a risk-based process to enable the organisation to justify and prioritise their infrastructure capital investment programmes. The investment drivers were based on a thorough risk assessment and the benefits to their Key Performance Indicators.

Police Force Control Centre - Business Continuity

Kent County Constabulary Force Control Centre Project

The commissioning of a new Force Control Centre, (FCC), would have a considerable impact upon the contingency plans currently in place. The consolidation of the nine “999” call centres into the FCC would reduce the number of alternatives for dealing with emergency calls in the event of incidents affecting call handling at any one site. Detailed planning and innovative solutions were required to ensure that the FCC was able to continue to meet its service requirements under emergency conditions.

Justifying eCommerce Security against other claims on the budget

Insurance Underwriter eCommerce Security

Although security had been addressed during the product development cycle, concerns had been expressed regarding certain security issues and we were asked to conduct a risk-based security review to assist in prioritising the issues. Competing demands for resources were being expressed in different ways by different business functions.

BS7799 What is most important for you?

BS7799 Benchmarking Case Study

A City of London Insurance client wished to benchmark themselves against the current BS7799 Information Security Standard.
A Dependency Model was created that showed the most critical shortfalls and perhaps more importantly, prioritised the actions required to bring them in line with the standard.

Securing your Corporate Data

Web MIS IT Security Project

A web-based application retrieved management information data from various in-house and external sources and produce consolidated views for reporting and updating of figures on a regular basis. Executives in the UK and many worldwide locations wished to be able to log onto the system via a variety of connections from office LANs to hotel room dial-up access and do so securely.
