It all starts with the discovery
Our Process
The approach we use to deliver the services grounds on the specific understanding of Quality concept shared across the company. According to this concept Quality stands on the three foundations – Professionalism, Motivation and Communication.
During this first phase of the development life cycle, security considerations are key to diligent and early integration, thereby ensuring that threats, requirements, and potential constraints in functionality and integration are considered. At this point, security is looked at more in terms of business risks with input from the information security office. For example, an agency may identify a political risk resulting from a prominent website being modified or made unavailable during a critical business period, resulting in decreased trust by citizens. Key security activities for this phase include.
In this phase, systems are in place and operating, enhancements and/or modifications to the system are developed and tested, and hardware and/or software is added or replaced. The system is monitored for continued performance in accordance with security requirements and needed system modifications are incorporated. The operational system is periodically assessed to determine how the system can be made more effective, secure, and efficient. Operations continue as long as the system can be effectively adapted to respond to an organization’s needs while maintaining an agreed-upon risk level. When necessary modifications or changes are identified, the system may reenter a previous phase of the SDLC. Key security activities for this phase include:
- Conduct an operational readiness review;
- Manage the configuration of the system ;
- Institute processes and procedures for assured operations and continuous monitoring of the information system’s security controls; and
- Perform reauthorization as required.

Overall Process
Collaborative approach
We meet stakeholders where they are. We’ll go deep into the technical details with your engineers and we’ll focus more on strategy and use cases with your non-technical stakeholders.
Experience, not assumptions
We use our experience to craft recommendations based on your organization’s needs. We are tool agnostic and will help you implement cost-effective, adaptable infrastructure.
Comprehensive summary
We capture your data needs and our recommendations in a report designed to be read by a wide range of stakeholder groups. Our clients often share the discovery report with their investors, leadership, engineers, analysts, and stakeholders.
Seamless transition to implementation
The same MIAZ-TECH team members that partner with you during the discovery phase will lead your implementation, and they'll have all the context needed to hit the ground running.
F.A.Q
How Long Discovery Phase?
Discovery typically take between 2 and 8 weeks depending on your organization size and the scope of the discovery.
Discovery Output?
The final output of the discovery is an editable report (Microsoft Word or Google Docs). We are happy to create additional outputs, such as a slide-based presentation if needed.
Implementation Phase Optional?
We view discovery and implementation as two tightly integrated phases of a single project. In order to enable a smooth transition between the phases we require all discoveries to be paired with an implementation.
When is my company ready for implementation with MIAZ-TECH?
We suggest starting a project when you begin to feel the limitations of your current data capabilities. This could take the form of data discrepancies, manual workflows, limits in reporting granularity, or the inability to personalize marketing.
