he right talent in the right company, through the best tools and processes. That is how\u00a0<\/span><\/span>StepStone<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00ae creates the perfect match between candidates and organisations. Founded in 1996, but now around 2.500 staff members in 21 countries. Daily do they post the team thousands of\u00a0<\/span><\/span>job<\/span><\/span>\u00a0offers, their websites are visited more than 55 million times a month. Which creates a lot of\u00a0<\/span><\/span>challenges.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

StepStone<\/span> also offers services in other European countries en worldwide with the help of strategic collaborations with leading online head hunters in the considering markets. The unique range allows the group to meet possibilities in recruiting requirements for big or small organizations, for single time recruitment or projects. All the activities, the different devices, documents and personal data, is a challenge for security!<\/strong> If that aren\u2019t trusted grounds for Spikes. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u00a0<\/span>StepStone<\/span>\u00a0is extremely security minded, is not a secret. Security is the core of the\u00a0<\/span>company,<\/span>\u00a0the IT department is permeated. \u201cWe are daily busy with sensitive data\u201d, tells Serge\u00a0<\/span>Groven<\/span>, Corporate IT manager. \u201cWe are already GDPR compliant. At\u00a0<\/span>StepStone<\/span>\u00a0private data is very long segregated and well protected. To manage it, do they often work with complex and expensive software from different vendors.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A new solution and an experienced, flexible partner<\/span><\/h5>\n

Is there an alternative for fragmented technologies? Sure, but the search is not in a night sleep. A Proof of Concept (<\/span>PoC<\/span>) is an excellent start point, starting from the current platform and the current security landscape, additionally with the requirements and goals<\/strong> for the alternative. Such as the need to secure the desktop and remote to manage, the want for encryption, security to isolate also the mobile devices, and identity broker, document policies etc.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In summary:\u00a0<\/span>StepStone<\/span>\u00a0wanted to create security wise a one-stop-shop, to reduce the costs and the creation of a single pane glass (integrated IT system management). If you bundle the needs, do you arrive at Microsoft Enterprise Mobile and Security (EMS) for the solution. EMS is a whole set of tools to manage devices better and secure data. The\u00a0<\/span>PoC<\/span>\u00a0would show if the EMS would successfully redeem the goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Proof of\u00a0<\/span>Concept<\/span>\u00a0with Spikes<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Spikes was allowed, as Microsoft expert, to work in these\u00a0<\/span>PoC<\/span>. \u201cThe Spikes team had delivered excellent work for\u00a0<\/span>StepStone<\/span>, in the past\u201d, continuous Serge. \u201cAs 3 years ago, during a time pressured SharePoint project and Office 365 projects. Spikes showed itself multiple times as a problem solved and flexible partner with exceptional security knowledge<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>We<\/span>\u00a0could use Spikes expertise once again. Spikes is tenacious in structural project support and budget follow-up, which was exactly what we needed.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>PoC<\/span>\u00a0were started led by Serge, supported by the CTO, with an eye on the full roll-out of EMS within the group. Teams out of diverse countries worked all together. With Spikes, we decided to go with a segmented approach to test the most critical functions of EMS with 30ish end users of the IT department. Think about elements such as Intune mobile device security, MDM-qualities, data classification and encryption. Spikes often consulted Microsoft to gain more information to accomplish the goals of\u00a0<\/span>StepStone<\/span>, good testing and to see if there is a match with EMS or not.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EMS E3 or E5?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

There is an EMS E3 and an EMS E5 version. The focus was mostly on E3, but mater in the project, we also started to talk about E5. This is more expensive version with a lot of functions, the \u2018Rolls Royce\u2019 of EMS. \u201cTo get a clear overview of the differences, we asked Spikes to work out a workshop EMS E3 vs. E5.\u00a0<\/span>The result was a deep analysis and mapping<\/strong>. Out of this analysis could we take away how Spikes knows our company through our long-term collaboration, an added value for the\u00a0<\/span>PoC<\/span>\u00a0and the further implementation\u201d, continues\u00a0<\/span>Serges<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What turned out to be? EMS E5 would be beneficial for a limited number of end-users, for diverse processes and rolls, amongst other things through the advanced log-on tracker and the self-learning system. It offers potential for out-roll of the security.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The added value<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>PoC<\/span>\u00a0provided its services perfectly. EMS E5 lived better up to the expectations and could be perfectly implemented for a group of employees. The features of EMS E3 released the goals less, and the Spikes consultants shared this information honestly during the assessments.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know where we are now and how to optimize\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe know where we are now and how to optimize\u201d<\/strong>, concludes Serge. \u201cAs a result of the enlighten analysis and security expertise of the Spikes consultants, under the close attention of their customer success manager that meticulously up served the status, timing and budget. Our experience is that most of the IT companies are not able to present enough technical documentation and product knowledge. Spikes does have this ability and that is where they\u00a0<\/span><\/span>differentiate<\/span><\/span>\u00a0for every product and IT project.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
