Security Awards 2023 5 This is just one example of Rixwelle’s extraordinary offering, with its team demonstrating to all clients their wealth of relevant sovereign and professional expertise in both the public and private sectors, assisting them to benchmark their organisations with the rest of the industry across South Africa. Rixwelle is an institution that its clients consider to be very receptive in providing professional advice and guidance and, wherever required, act on behalf of them to ensure successful management and on-time delivery of their strategic programmes/projects. The company’s main objective is to continuously champion SWIFT ISO® 20022 Migration in the public sector, as Richard explains, “Our core aim is to create a unique defensive position in the SWIFT ISO® 20022 Migration across the world. This is because Rixwelle is generating a superior ROI (return on investment) to the South African government by being the only company in South Africa that is collaborating with FedPayments Improvement Community. “South African companies do not understand that ISO® 20022 is the only best practice and trusted information security Meta Data Management Framework (MDMF) in Computer Science available in the market in this current generation. “In doing this, we are able to demonstrate our Vision 2026 is in full compliance with Information Security Governance.” Alongside the company’s focus on SWIFT ISO® 20022 Migration, its mission is to provide highly responsive service support to clients through an evidence-based, client feedback-driven consulting culture, as well as to leverage and develop its youth’s world-class ICT and project management practices. This is in addition to being guided by an over-arching principle of building capacity through scheduled and repeated ICT training to maximise skills transfer to, and work efficacy of, its clients. Leading the team is Richard Chege, a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science graduate and an accomplished, result-driven digital transformation specialist, with a career spanning more than 25 years, having worked in roles such as senior analyst and senior project manager for the likes of LOGTEK USA Inc, National Treasury of South Africa, GovCon Consulting Group, and more. Over the years, Richard has been progressively championing SWIFT ISO® 20022 Migration in the public sector, business and technology strategy, and project management governance using the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). He leverages this experience to lead his team through programme management and technical leadership on key strategic projects to ensure digital solutions are designed, developed, and implemented according to the client’s approved objectives and budget. Richard continues to promote efficiency, transforming critical business processes and business intelligence models in the prudent management of sovereign financial assets and liabilities at the National Treasury, improving end-user experience and engagement. His focus is also of course on supporting innovation for a true digital transformation using MDMF in Computer Science for the creation of long-term value. None of what Rixwelle offers could happen without the team, though, with Richard saying, “Our consultants are exceptional professionals with the education, sovereign institutional memory in custom-development and successful implementation of any digital transformation program/project, and business and technological experience. That definitely adds real value.” He continues, “Some of our consultants have a combined sovereign institutional memory of more than 150 years on sovereign debt and cash management in South Africa, both at the National Treasury and at the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).” And the team continues to provide this extensive wealth of knowledge in the modernisation of functional public financial management systems, in collaboration with the Collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative (CABRI®), which works with sovereign states in African finance and budget ministries in developing and putting into practice sovereign policy and technical reforms that will drive the next generation of management of sovereign financial assets and liabilities in the African continent. Now as Rixwelle looks towards the future, Richard gives us an insight into what that looks like: “By learning from our past mistakes through knowledge sharing with the financial market as part of the SWIFT ISO® 20022 Migration journey, which will go beyond 2025, we will continue championing MDMF in Computer Science. Focusing on ISO® 20022 as Rixwelle’s Vision 2026 is our core long-term plan because we will gain competitive advantage over any current, potential, or even any future competitors in the industry.” He continues, “We will also be modernising and migrating the SALMS ERP for the South African government, from on-premise to a Trusted Government Cloud Framework using Security Practice Guide for VMware Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Environments from NIST®.” Company: Rixwelle Corporation (Pty) Ltd Contact: Richard Sammy Mwithukia Chege Email: [email protected] Website: www.rixwelle.co.za

As the industry diversifies, Integrity Security does not discriminate based on gender in its recruitment processes, which is why women are so well-represented in the company despite the previously maledominated nature of the industry.

Feb23083 Founded in 2018, DataBench provides automated data mapping and privacy management solutions that are fast, compliant and easy to use. The platform was created to take the time, cost, extra resources, and stress out of meeting data privacy compliance requirements, allowing business owners to focus on what they do best: running their business. At the beginning, DataBench was dedicated to researching the global wave of data privacy compliance and how the global vendor market responded to these changes. This observation revealed that most businesses are unaware of the full extent of the applications and systems they have running across their organisation, so they fail to fully understand where the personal data they handle sits within their business. The company also noticed that many organisations chose to address the privacy legislation changes with manual solutions by hiring up to six extra staff members to deal with the additional workload. Even with the extra staff, most of these businesses were falling behind on mandated timeframes, needing sign-off from multiple departments to release information and failing their legislation obligations. In contrast, businesses that instead chose to use automated solutions were able to reduce their staff load and turn over workflow in one to three days. This is what inspired Founder David Christmas to design DataBench, a leading automated data privacy platform, to help businesses across Australia and New Zealand automate the way they deal with privacy and personal data legislation. The platform is designed to manage data privacy and governance from a single dashboard, allowing organisations to meet the ever-changing data privacy requirements with ease. Utilising smart technology, it automates business processes by scanning all data sources to identify traces of personal information, saving them significant time and money. DateBench is not only beneficial to businesses in this way but also to the public. The platform automates consumer requests, allowing them to view and remove their own data at the click of a button. This allows individuals to regain control of their data and saves businesses the time they would usually spend responding to data-related requests manually. Working in a competitive industry, DataBench works to stand out from its competitors in many ways. Firstly, the company believes in investing in technology that provides clients with high-quality and unique solutions to privacy legislations, driving the growth and expansion of the business. Alongside this, DataBench offers ongoing technical support to ensure customers are always able to use its solutions effectively. Secondly, with privacy legislation constantly changing and evolving, it is crucial for DataBench to ensure its solutions are up to date with regulations and that they reflect the latest in Federal and State Legislation and Acts. Lastly, with a small and dedicated team, the company is committed to delivering consistent outcomes that always exceed expectations, making it a trusted partner of choice in its industry. As a result of its innovative data automation platform that helps businesses take control of their data management with ease, DataBench has won Best Privacy Discovery and Compliance Automation Solution in the Security Awards 2023. The company continues to assist businesses across Australia and New Zealand in tackling new challenges that emerge as the landscape changes.
