Consulting & Managed Services

Consulting & Managed Services

Enterprises embarking on complex digital initiatives—ranging from Public Key Infrastructure deployments and network modernization to cloud migrations and cybersecurity transformation—require more than technology: they need deep domain expertise, proven methodologies, and operational support. JNR Management’s Consulting & Managed Services combine advisory, implementation, and ongoing managed operations to ensure projects achieve business objectives, maintain optimal performance, and evolve with changing requirements.

Strategic Consulting Services

JNR’s consulting practice partners with stakeholders to develop comprehensive roadmaps aligned to organizational goals. Services include:

  • PKI & Trust Architecture:

    Design scalable, secure certificate hierarchies, HSM integrations, and trust models that support SSL/TLS, code signing, and IoT device authentication.

  • Network & Security Strategy:

    Assess existing DNS, DHCP, IPAM, firewall, and ADC environments; define target-state architectures that improve resilience, performance, and security posture.

  • Cloud & Hybrid Transformations:

    Evaluate workloads for cloud suitability, secure multi-cloud connectivity, and implement hybrid DNS/DHCP/IPAM and PKI services for consistent policy enforcement.

  • Zero Trust & Identity Governance:

    Develop identity-centric security frameworks, integrate certificate-based authentication, and enforce least-privilege access controls across users, devices, and applications.

  • Compliance & Risk Advisory:

    Map technical controls to regulatory mandates (PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001), perform gap analyses, and recommend remediations to achieve and maintain audit readiness.

Implementation & Integration

Following strategy, JNR’s expert teams execute complex projects using best-practice frameworks and agile methodologies:

  • Solution Deployment: Install and configure PKI platforms (DigiCertONE, Private CA, Managed PKI), network services (DDI, ADC, Firewalls), and security controls (WAF, API Security, DDoS Protection).
  • System Integration: Integrate PKI with DevOps pipelines, cloud-native services, and identity providers (AD, LDAP, Okta), ensuring seamless certificate issuance, authentication, and policy enforcement.
  • Custom Development: Build automation scripts, RESTful API integrations, and infrastructure-as-code modules for CI/CD, enabling self-service and policy-driven operations.
  • Migration & Consolidation: Rationalize disparate certificate stores, DNS/DHCP servers, and network policies; consolidate onto unified platforms to reduce complexity and TCO.
  • Knowledge Transfer & Documentation: Deliver training workshops, operational runbooks, and governance playbooks to empower internal teams for sustained success.

Managed Services & 24/7 Operations

Post-deployment, JNR’s Managed Services practice operates critical infrastructures as an extension of the client’s team:

  • Proactive Monitoring & Alerting: 24/7 monitoring of PKI health, certificate inventories, DNS/DHCP performance, firewall policy compliance, and ADC metrics. Automated alerts for anomalies, upcoming expirations, and security incidents ensure rapid response.
  • Incident & Change Management: Triage and resolve operational issues, manage certificate renewals and revocations, perform policy updates, and implement configuration changes through controlled processes aligned with ITIL.
  • Patch & Upgrade Services: Maintain currency of platforms PKI software, HSM firmware, network appliances, and security gateways—applying patches and upgrades in test and production environments with minimal disruption.
  • Capacity Planning & Optimization: Analyze usage trends, performance data, and certificate lifecycles to recommend scaling adjustments, HSM expansions, or license optimizations that align with growth.
  • Reporting & Governance: Provide monthly and quarterly reports covering system availability, performance SLAs, policy compliance metrics, security posture assessments, and executive summaries for stakeholder review.
