Unified Infrastructure Enhancement for Secure & Resilient Global Non-Profit Operations

A complex international non-profit organization managing highly confidential data across multiple field offices faces challenges including outdated hardware, fragmented network systems, security vulnerabilities, lack of comprehensive documentation, and risk of operational disruptions. The organization requires a secure, unified, and resilient infrastructure to prevent data breaches, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain seamless global communication during crises.

A large international non-governmental organization specializing in human rights and social justice initiatives, operating across multiple regions with sensitive data handling and decentralized infrastructure.

• Perform a comprehensive assessment and inventory of all existing hardware, software, and network components to identify vulnerabilities and redundant assets.
• Design and implement a unified, scalable infrastructure with virtualized servers and consolidated databases to enhance data access, management, and security.
• Enhance security by implementing multi-factor authentication, formal documentation, and data recovery processes, including offsite backup solutions.
• Ensure high availability and disaster recovery capabilities by deploying infrastructure across multiple data centers or cloud environments.
• Implement ongoing infrastructure monitoring and management tools to optimize operational efficiency and proactively address issues.

• Comprehensive infrastructure inventory management including hardware, software, network configurations, and lifecycle status.
• Virtualization support with centralized management of virtual servers across multiple locations.
• Database consolidation from multiple servers into a single primary database to streamline data access and analytics.
• Multi-factor authentication and enhanced access controls for sensitive portals and data repositories.
• Automated data backup and recovery solutions with offsite storage, ensuring business continuity.
• Disaster Recovery (DR) site setup for seamless failover and high availability.
• Siloed but integrated infrastructure monitoring tools for proactive issue detection and resolution.

• Identity and access management systems supporting multi-factor authentication
• Data backup and recovery solutions integrated with offsite storage platforms
• Monitoring and alerting tools for infrastructure health and security status
• Communication tools ensuring real-time connectivity between field offices and headquarters

• System availability of 99.9% uptime to support global operations
• Response times under 2 seconds for critical data access and management tasks
• Scalability to accommodate future growth and additional field offices
• Compliance with international security standards such as ISO 27001
• Robust security measures including multi-factor authentication and encrypted data transmission

The implementation aims to significantly reduce security vulnerabilities and operational disruptions, achieve near-continuous service availability, and establish a compliant security framework. Expected benefits include improved data security, faster disaster recovery times, streamlined data management, and operational resilience, ultimately supporting the organization’s mission to protect vulnerable populations with minimal risk and maximum efficiency.
