PKI Toolkit

Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical PKI Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step work plans and maturity diagnostics for any PKI related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated PKI specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the PKI Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 990 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which PKI improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 990 standard requirements:


1. Does the solution provide transparent maintenance of encryption and verification key history, allowing users to transparently decrypt or verify archived data encrypted or signed under old keys?
   
   

2. Which authentication and encryption technologies can be adapted for IoT, and how can technologies be implemented within the constraints of IoT devices as processing speed, cost, and size?
   
   

3. How do you communicate economic development benefits of improved transportation facilities and services to the elected officials, key private stakeholders, the public, and the press?
   
   

4. Does your organization need to replace outdated systems, expand your PKI to meet new security needs or support new sites and services for remote workers?
   
   

5. Does the solution support multiple remote registration authorities to securely execute administrative functions on the PKI system simultaneously?
   
   

6. How can disparate IoT system elements that need to connect to an enterprise network – and sometimes to another enterprises network – be secured?
   
   

7. How does public key encryption work, and how does public key encryption and digital certificate provide security and authentication services?
   
   

8. Does the solution ensure consistent security policies and one common security mechanism across multiple applications and multiple platforms?
   
   

9. How confident are you the data being accessed, the information being shared, and the content being downloaded is from a trustworthy source?
   
   

10. Does the solution support single login to all applications integrated with the PKI, including back end and desktop applications?
    
    


Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy

The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage PKI projects with the 62 implementation resources:


• 62 step-by-step PKI Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 PKI project requirements and success criteria:


Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:


1. Procurement Audit: Has it been determined how large a portion of the procurement portfolio should be managed by the procurement function/unit and how large a portion that should be managed locally?
   
   

2. Probability and Impact Matrix: What will be the environmental impact of the PKI project?
   
   

3. Closing Process Group: Did the PKI project team have enough people to execute the PKI project plan?
   
   

4. Assumption and Constraint Log: Was the document/deliverable developed per the appropriate or required standards (for example, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standards)?
   
   

5. Communications Management Plan: Is there an important stakeholder who is actively opposed and will not receive messages?
   
   

6. Activity Duration Estimates: Describe a PKI project that suffered from scope creep. Could it have been avoided?
   
   

7. Quality Audit: How does your organization know that its Mission, Vision and Values Statements are appropriate and effectively guiding your organization?
   
   

8. Cost Estimating Worksheet: Will the PKI project collaborate with the local community and leverage resources?
   
   

9. Activity Duration Estimates: How could you define throughput and how would your organization benefit from maximizing it?
   
   

10. WBS Dictionary: Changes in the direct base to which overhead costs are allocated?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any PKI project with this in-depth PKI Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose PKI projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in PKI and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make PKI investments work better.

This PKI All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
