“Being digital” lies within IDEMIA’s DNA

Responsibilities of the CIO
Change is the only constant! I believe in that and our organization also believes in that, we don’t have static policies, and we keep innovating / changing our processes, policies and infrastructure to align with the business needs. Example, we had deployed and migrated to TEAMS from Skype and other tools back in March 2019, well before the pandemic and most companies started to think about WFH solutions, scrambling to meet up with the changes in the way of working.
Key priorities for 2021
IDEMIA is a forerunner in facilitating digital solutions to top financial institutions, Mobile operators and governments, across the world. Hence we have the DNA of “being digital”. Our organisation’s ambition is to enable a secure and trusted environment for citizens and consumers alike to perform their daily critical activities (such as pay, connect, travel or access public or private spaces), in the real as well as digital worlds. So IDEMIA has always had the “digital mandate”.
Adopting Work-From Anywhere
With the onset on COVID 19 in early 2020, we strategically had done a dry run well before the lock down was announced, in case our employees needed to work from home. Hence once the lockdown was announced we were already prepared, it was a very smooth transition for IDEMIA. Being an essential service provider our office and production facilities were open with absolute WHO mandated precautions for our R&D and production employees who need to work on secured workspace with much higher security standards to protect our customers data without any relaxation on the security parameters and adding all COVID related measures as mandated by the authorities.
Redesigning IT & Security strategy
Security being central to all our offerings, we have got various tools to monitor and protect our users, data and infrastructure. We only allow access on a need basis with proper risk assessment and the risk is significantly reduced. Yes, from time to time we re-evalute the IT Strategy and keep making changes as needed to ensure we stay High on mitigation of the risks. This is a regular exercise and we constantly review our risks and keep adding measures as needed to stay safe, and reduce the risk and impact due to incidents which may happen.
Agenda of 2021
We are very proud that IDEMIA has powered many mission critical and digital transformation projects in partnership with the government and other leading players in the private sector.
