- How the planning service works
-
Zenzero typically will conduct Discovery services prior to delivering Advisory services to Clients. This ensures that all relevant information is surfaced which can then be used in future Business Analysis, Solution Design, and Security Architecture requirements for cloud infrastructure and support.
Advisory services are highly tailored to each organisation, so planning activities include gauging the key requirements, priorities, and responsibilities across the service in collaboration with the Client. Focus is made to identify how security best supports the organisational value proposition, threat and compliance landscape, and subsequent requirements within cloud support and security. - Planning service works with specific services
