A
WAR ROOM may sound very militaristic and intimidating but in simpler terms it is only a
control room where a group of operators, managers and executives gather to manage operations.
There are many types of so called WAR ROOMS and could define a physical bricks and mortar building or a virtual room distributed across the globe.
Why
Room #11? Our playground is in the Cloud but we have both our feet on the ground. Every business is unique and we like to meet our clients face to face
ONE ON ONE.
In technology terms it could also be a team gathered, virtually or at a physical location, overseeing the entire lifecycle of your cloud software responsible for the day to day functioning of your business.
It could be a security company monitoring your alarm system with an array of big screens, a help desk managing internal IT Support for a company or a team with a wide range of skills & roles from various disciplines.
Google defines
militaristic as "advocating or pursuing an aggressive military policy; hawkish". That is our style. With a zero tolerance for cyber vagrants, hackers & industrial or commercial spies, physical access to secure and sensitive assets, we follow the well known 5D security principles (Deter, Detect, Deny, Delay and Defend)
Embracing a
LEAN approach to continuous process improvement, we add REVIEW and REVISE (RR++) to the D5 Access Control Framework.
