Don’t leave your enterprise exposed, protect it with a GRC-compliant security solution.

There are hundreds of identity access and authentication management and SmartCard systems integrators standing ready to support your security needs. So, how do you go about selecting the right vendor for you?

Here are a few requirements to help you select the right security partner:

1. Do you need a provider with industry-specific experience? Securing an enterprise with offshore rigs, visualization team rooms, multi-region servers, and joint ventures is an entirely different need than securing a chain of restaurants. Dexa has real-world experience in the oil and gas, utilities, healthcare, and financial services sectors – so, trust your access security to a provider that understands and can tailor the solution to your specifications.

2. Do you currently have a software control panel that allows you to manage enterprise-wide access? If your vendor is recommending several different software systems to manage your identity access to your servers, computers, and premises than rethink your strategy. There is no reason you need to self-integrate or use multiple applications.

3. Can you afford to invest a year or more to implement your credential management solution? Most vendors will plop a think polices and procedures binder the size of War and Peace in the middle of the table and tell you that it will take at least 18 months to deploy. Dexa has streamlined this process, without compromising the solution, so that you have a cost-effective identity access and authentication solution deployed in weeks.

4. Do you need world-class consultative support? Whether it is as simple as changing, adding, or revising the access level or adding multiple new access devices to your enterprise; Dexa’s support team has an average of 15 years of credential management experience, so you get the level of expertise you need – no matter what your support requirement.

5. Are you seeking to integrate security devices and software already identified or do you need a best-of-breed solution? SmartCard systems integrators and most identity access and authentication management providers work with off-the-shelf technology components and simply attach them to address your security access needs. Dexa has developed proprietary technology that addresses real-world security needs that address specific industry requirements and is continuously upgraded to meet the perpetual changes and trends in the security sector.
