Engineering information security compliance

Behind the scenes at a top engineering firm

Collins Engineers, Inc. provides engineering services in structural and transportation analysis and design, and underwater engineering. Collins pioneered the use of professional engineers as diving inspectors in the evaluation of underwater structures. Today, Collins is an ENR Top 500 Design Firm and provides design and analysis services coupled with field experience to the transportation, marine, construction, and land development industries.

Operationalizing Splunk SIEM for information security compliance

Evolutio implemented Splunk Core to provide Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) functionality for Collins across 25 offices.

Compliance with the Risk Management Framework (RMF) introduced by the Department of Defense (DoD) in support of Government contracts required enterprise-scale information security. Splunk’s log aggregation and automated alerting capabilities allow Collins to confidently respond to real or perceived security threats in their environment.

Evolutio ingested security-relevant logs into Splunk using Splunk Best Practices, and built dashboards that made it easy to find any anomalous traffic and unauthorized devices on Collins’ network. This transparency into the network allows Collins to enforce their security policies consistently, which brings their information security up to the required standards of the RMF.
