Stiki has substantial experience in the development of secure telecommunications networks, using a range of techniques to ensure information security in network communications. The information security standards  ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 are systematically applied to ensure secure communications. A key aspect of this is the selection of security measures well suited to the nature of the data to be transmitted to the network in question. This includes applicable network connections, either through a private network or via the Internet, and network equipment complying with the security and performance requirements, such as firewalls and routers. Encryption can be used to ensure data confidentiality and for user identification. In addition, various aspects of network connections, such as bandwidth and transmission time, must be checked in order to ensure data availability.

Health-Care Assessment Network

Stiki is responsible for the design and operation of a secure closed health-sector network, the Health-Care Assessment Network, which connects many health-care organisation all over Iceland. The Network runs the solutions Stiki RAI Nursing Home, Stiki RAI Home Care and Stiki Pre-Admission Assessment. As these networks contain highly sensitive personal data, information security is a key aspect of the Health-Care Assessment Network. Encryption and ID are used to identify users and secure data transmissions. Health bodies connect to assessment systems hosted by Stiki through a Virtual Private Network via closed Wide Area Network connections, such as ISDN, ADSL+, Frame Relay and IP networks.

Modelling and simulation

Stiki also has experience in modelling computer networks. The modelling and simulation of computer networks can be used for needs analysis in building networks, and can assist in the design of new networks as well as in changing existing networks. Quality design of network architecture leads to more efficient networks and lower costs. Stress and security tests are also possible in the network models, and you can also examine the effects of implementing new computer systems on the existing computer network.
