Some of the services we provide are outlined below, or use the menu on the left. For more information, email us at info@lochnetsystems.com
Cloud Computing
Often described as “IT as a utility,” cloud computing is an important technology that cannot be ignored by organizations today. LochNET Systems can help your organization cut through the fog of cloud computing and determine how your organization can leverage the cloud.
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandated in December 2010 that all Federal agencies evaluating options for new IT deployments “default to cloud-based solutions whenever a secure, reliable, cost-effective cloud option exists.” LochNET Systems can help your organization evaluate and satisfy this "Cloud-First" policy.
Mentoring
The best way to learn something is to actually do it - Learning By Doing. That is the basis of LochNET Systems unique technical mentoring service. Our mentoring goes well beyond classroom training and has a proven track record of improving the productivity and expertise of technical staff.
Since we are vendor neutral our guidance will always be tailored to provide the best unbiased view of all the available technologies. We can provide many different types of mentoring services, including:
- One-on-one mentoring service for new team members while they perform an actual project task. This approach allows the team member to learn the technology while actually performing an assigned task, all under the supervision and guidence of a expert consultant. The end result is a well trained team member, on both the required technology and the specific project environment, as well as a completed project task.
- Group sessions for all members of a project team to help solve technical or business problems. Many clients utilize this service by having team members maintain a list of all problems and issues that cannot be solved within a set time limit, and then move on to another aspect of the project; thus eliminating all bottlenecks. This list can then be addressed by our consultants during the next on-site visit or during a conference call. The problems/issues will be worked through by our consultants along with your team members to ensure complete knowledge transfer.
- Design, architecture guidance, or prototyping support for groups using new methodologies or new technologies. This helps a team quickly get a project off the ground or to efficiently and effectively evaluate new technologies.
IT/Web Security
LochNET Systems can help your organization secure IT projects at various different stages. A few of the security releated services we provide are:
- Security awareness sessions. Several regulations, such as PCI and HIPAA, require annual security awareness sessions to achieve compliance. We can customize an awareness session for your organization to educate developers, QA personnel, security auditors, and managers on the latest threats and vulnerabilities and how to protect against them.
- Web Application Security Audits. Attackers today are targeting Web application vulnerabilities more than operating systems and networks. These vulnerabilities can be exploited to obtain confidential information and compromise organizational integrity. LochNET Systems can provide a third party audit of your source code or work with your internal staff to ensure various guildlines, such as the OWASP Top 10 or SANS Top 25, are employed throughout your systems.
- Static Code Analysis. Static code analysis can be used to perform an analysis of an application without access to the source code. This can be useful when the source code cannot be disclosed or for third party applications or components where the source code is not available.
XBRL
XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) is an XML-based, open standard language for the electronic communication of business and financial data. The United States Security and Exchange Comission has recently mandated that public companies start filing financial statement in XBRL. Many other government agencies have also adopted XBRL, or are in the process of requiring XBRL for the transmission of business data.
LochNET Systems can help your organization leverage XBRL technology for enhanced business and financial reporting. We can provide a "Quick Start" project plan to help your organization quickly come up to speed on XBRL and become XBRL compliant. The project plan includes the following services:
