Strict regulations apply to the handling of CI of different classification levels. Thanks to SINA, public authorities have been able to securely process, store and exchange digital CI in accordance with these requirements for many years. With the SINA Managed Service, this is possible without the customer having to build up expertise or plan personnel for operation. For example, organisations that require a particularly high degree of flexibility or only come into contact with classified information sporadically can benefit from this. In addition to public authorities and armed forces, the offer is also aimed at small and medium-sized companies that can only provide limited resources for the operation of such solutions.
The SINA Managed Service with CGI offers a diverse range of services which are tailored to the customer's specific requirements. They range from support with the configuration and rollout of a SINA solution to the complete operation of the entire system, including the related consulting as well as first and second level support. Rental models for SINA components are also available.
"With CGI, we are delighted to have found a partner with the necessary expertise and decades of experience in managing IT solutions in the defence and space industry to expand our managed service offering in the environment of classified information and high security," says Torsten Henn, COO at secunet. "SINA is therefore also relevant for organisations for which setting up and operating their own SINA infrastructure is not an option."
"The new SINA Managed Service from secunet and CGI will greatly relieve the burden on our customers’ internal IT capacities while ensuring the necessary quality in this security-critical environment," adds Jens Elstermeier, Senior Vice President Consulting and Head of Business Development at CGI in Cologne. "We are delighted to now be able to offer customers this comprehensive solution."
secunet and CGI are jointly offering the new services. Interested authorities and companies can contact one of the two companies.
