Modern business operations are becoming increasingly dependent on technology that allows the phasing out of a great variety on routine manual tasks by robust automated processes and controls. It makes your business run as one organism that breathes and breeds data.
Business leaders must recognise the value that data assets contribute to enabling critical business processes and creating competitive advantage. Thus it is important to trust the flow of data within your organisation, as it can enable you to make both day-to-day and strategic decisions faster, supporting your business knowledge by valuable insights.

Do you rely on complex spreadsheets that take a number of days to fill in? Are there bottlenecks in business processes that heavily rely on data?

Given recent high profile events in both the private and public sector, information security and privacy has never been higher on the board agenda. Reputation, trust and brand value can all be seriously affected by information loss and theft. Incidents have often erroneously been attributed to technology issues, and while technology is one of the key components to better information and cyber security, equal attention needs to be paid to people, organisation, culture and processes.
Companies can no longer manage security on an ad-hoc project basis. To reduce the risk of business disruptions, meet regulatory compliance objectives and adequately respond to complex security breaches, organizations must integrate security infrastructures as well as constantly monitor standards, policies and controls to stay in line with established parameters. By gaining complete visibility into the security infrastructure, organizations are also able to remediate security gaps quickly.
We provide our clients confidence around the security of their data, employees, organization, etc. through:
- Security strategy and governance reviews and optimization
- Cyber risk assessments and governance
- Third party risk management and cloud security assistance
- Security architecture and security solution architecture design and reviews
- Implementation and operation of security solutions (IAM, security analytics, DLP, network security, etc.)
- Designing and providing managed security services

To gain competitive advantage and keep pace with regulatory requirements, organizations are undertaking an unprecedented amount of transformational change. The benefits of such big, IT-heavy projects can be great – but they’re not without risks. Failure to manage these risks successfully can have many adverse consequences, both operational and reputational.
According to research, a quarter of all major change programmes fail completely while around three quarters under deliver. Many companies have a history of IT implementation projects which struggle to deliver the benefits that are expected of them, often having major knock on effects on other projects and conflicting with others.
PwC can increase confidence in your enterprise projects, programmes and transformational agenda through:
- Establishing project management office (PMO) and supervising project and program execution
- Carrying out and independent assessment of the current project status, the project management processes and the KPIs, including identification of project risks and recommendation for suitable project risk management processes
- Assessing programme and project management, to increase both efficiency and control over entire initiatives and provide transparency through project status reporting
- Assessing contractual and legal aspects of project related third party contracts, identifying the associated risks
- Acting as a supervisory trustee to check that official requirements are in compliance
- Assisting in review and design of project and program portfolio management practices to ensure that business priorities and benefits are properly controlled and realised
- Analysing existing systems landscape and designing target systems architecture and integration
- Assessing technology and organizational readiness for major technology transformations such as Industry 4.0, major process digitalization, migration to cloud, etc.
