ZeroFOX Takedown-as-a-Service helps dismantle attacker infrastructure to thwart future attacks.

In selecting Credence Security as its distribution partner for the Middle East, Pakistan, Africa and India, ZeroFOX was particularly drawn to Credence Security’s market strategy and its singular focus on cybersecurity with a portfolio of like-minded, best-in-class vendors. Credence Security’s longevity and reputation in the market, agile and transparent business model and footprint across key regional markets were also key factors that drove ZeroFOX’s decision.

As the partnership launches, Credence Security will engage with new and existing partners to drive sales of ZeroFOX solutions to enterprises particularly in the BFSI, Government, Media & Entertainment, Real Estate, Retail and Telecoms sectors. For its part, ZeroFOX will invest in upskilling and training regional partners, offer marketing and sales support and weekly threat advisories for customers and prospects.

Unlike legacy vendors, ZeroFOX delivers an AI-driven, integrated solution that provides security teams with the capabilities they need to secure their public attack surface,” noted Garreth Scott, managing director, Credence Security. “Over the last few years, we have built a strong portfolio of cybersecurity and digital forensics solutions. Partnering with ZeroFOX, gives us a critical complementary solution that will allow us to expand our capabilities and offer regional organizations a suite of solutions to protect their most critical digital assets.”

The competitors of this outsourcing giant have been put to silent hold as this move came quite unexpectedly and was a huge development to the organization. Concerning the developments that DK business patron has been making in the recent period, the market is continually eyeing the next development that they might launch themselves with.

Software Development, including mobile app development, covers various projects, ranging from creating universal apps to custom apps that are complex and take a longer time. Similarly, it includes quick software projects that can be handled by one developer and delivered within a week's time. Then there are sophisticated software projects that go on for months that require big and dedicated teams for development, testing, and service delivery.

There are many companies out there that offer software development. It becomes difficult for a potential customer to know whether the software development company is the right one for their organization. Looking at the experience or testimonials might not be enough for potential customers to choose the right developer. This is where the CMMI Maturity Level 3 certification could be handy in finalizing the right software developer. 

Let's delve deep into details of CMMI Maturity Level 3 and the benefits of doing business with a company that has been appraised at CMMI level 3.

Let's understand CMMI

CMMI stands for "Capability Maturity Model Integration" and is a model that offers evaluation and training for process improvement in organizations. CMMI was first conceptualized by Software Engineering Institute (SEI). It happened as a result of research into organizations that consistently delivered quality software within the stipulated timeframe and the approved budget. 

SEI studied the companies that did very well in timely software delivery against the ones that fared poorly in the same parameters. SEI began documenting their findings shared by the top-performing companies, which eventually became the benchmark for CMMI. SEI also began offering training on how to become a top-performing company with well-defined goals for the purpose.

CMMI can help improve a person's capability, a department, a particular project, and the whole company.

Let's talk about CMMI-DEV

There are three models of CMMI:

  • Services (CMMI-SVC)
  • Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ)
  • Development (CMMI-DEV)

While the CMMI-SVC model gives direction to companies that provide services within their organization and to external customers, the CMMI-ACQ model lends guidance to companies and their leadership teams to make informed acquisitions.

The CMMI-DEV model is used for process improvement in organizations that develop products, such as Sankalp. CMMI for development contains best practices covering entire customer life cycle management project management, which includes all the facets of product development ranging from process management to software development to service delivery and maintenance.

The practices of CMMI-DEV are suitable for wide-ranging industries, including product and service development. They provide standardization of all the processes against which the company can compare itself. When a company is said to be appraised at CMMI for Development, it means the same has been thoroughly trained, evaluated, and assessed in product and service development.

A company needs to meet all the parameters for the level to be appraised. For example, for Maturity Level 3 (ML 3) in CMMI-DEV, Sankalp met all the below-mentioned process areas:

  • Decision Analysis and Resolution (DAR)
  • Integrated Project Management (IPM)
  • Organizational Process Definition (OPD)
  • Organizational Process Focus (OPF)
  • Organizational Training (OT)
  • Product Integration (RD)
  • Requirements Development (RD)
  • Risk Management (RSKM)
  • Technical Solution (TS)
  • Validation (VAL)
  • Verification (VER)

Sankalp having being appraised CMMI-DEV (v1.3) Maturity Level 3, means that as a company, we adhere to the detailed process guidelines of ML2 and ML3. This means we use the CMMI best practices for product and service development throughout the customer life cycle.

Guarantee for Customer Delight

Corporate Quality Certification brings pride and adds to the responsibility of delivering uncompromising quality to the customers, something Sankalp has been doing for around two decades now. The company has achieved great success in providing excellent customer service to its clients. The company also provides training to its employees on how they can improve their performance.  

  • After this certification, the customers can look forward to:
  • Further improvement in quality throughout the project lifecycle.
  • More value for money.
  • A thorough evaluation of various approaches for a given project and choosing the best of the lot.
  • A review of customer feedback and proactive steps to eradicate the chances of any forecasted issues.

What the certification means to Sankalp

The certification is a reassurance for the cutting-edge processes that they follow at each step. This certificate will inspire them to re-dedicate themselves to the utmost quality and performance improvement to delight the customers at each stage of the project. 

As a team, they are determined to get better in everything they do. Which means:

  • More defined processes.
  • Process adherence at every stage without a compromise.
  • Higher predictability for consistent quality in projects of all sizes.
  • High quality at every step.
  • Lessened re-works.
  • Decreased turnaround time.

Benefits of doing business with a company that has been appraised for CMMI

When you do business with a company that has been evaluated for CMMI, you have many benefits:

  • Assurance of quality products.
  • Predictable and realistic service delivery timelines.
  • Best value for money.
  • A thorough evaluation of each project and advising the best option.
  • Reduced instances of customer issues as the company proactively works to reduce the probable problems.
