System z Security Services

Overview

Who can you trust to help ensure that your enterprise systems and critical data are safe from leaks, sabotage, accidental disclosure, or outright theft?

Do you know the current status of your system environment?

Even a small breakdown in security can cost an organisation possibly millions in lost revenues or compromise of trade secrets and/or financial data.

RSM Partners specialise in assisting organisations in the complete process of ensuring and protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of their data. We can also assist in compliance and PCI DSS Studies.

We are the leading provider of security solutions servicing RACF – the acknowledged security backbone of mainframes worldwide. Our clients look to us for security training, consulting, and security software installation and implementation.

Our Services

RSM Partners delivers a wide range of professional services for system z RACF. With an average of over 20 years of professional experience, RSM Partners consultants are recognised as the best in the business when it comes to system z security. This list outlines only a fraction of our core competencies and expertise.

CA-ACF2 and CA-Top Secret Migration Services

This is one of our most requested services. RSM Partners offers a comprehensive program for customers wishing to perform a migration from CA-ACF2 or CA-Top Secret to RACF.

RSM Partners specialists help clients properly implement RACF according to "best practices" methodologies and processes.

zOS and zOS UNIX Systems Services Installations and Implementations

Access from the Internet to the zOS environment requires UNIX System Services. Traditionally, installation and implementation have been performed without significant concern for appropriate UNIX System Services security controls. RSM Partners experts can perform a comprehensive security audit or review and make specific recommendations on the correction of security irregularities or exposures.

The same RSM Partners experts can implement corrective actions to ensure comprehensive security for UNIX System Services for the zOS environment.

zOS and RACF Audits, Compliance Reviews and Penetration Tests

What's the difference between an "audit" and a "review?" An audit is more formal, and generally the result of some type of compliance requirement. Audits are traditionally issued as an opinion. A review is often a request to take a checkpoint of the z/OS or RACF implementation from a security standpoint.

RSM Partners consultants can perform either an audit or a review for z/OS operating systems, as well as RACF itself. Findings from either an audit or review are presented in a constructive manner, with recommendations on how to correct them.

Training

Working with RSM Technology, RSM Partners can provide customised training to meet all your RACF needs. Whether for team members new to RACF or for seasoned veterans, RSM Partners designs training that responds to your needs. RSM Partners instructors speak from hands on experience and not just from a conceptual perspective.
