SECURIX Expert Service

Security PMO Services

Experienced project professionals who run the back office of your ICT and security projects for your project manager, so projects are delivered on time, on budget and to quality, with transparent reporting.

Solution overview

Security PMO Services provide experienced project professionals who support your project manager or project management team in ICT and security projects. A SECURIX PMO specialist takes over the operational project back office, including plans, reporting, risk and issue logs, budget tracking, documentation and tender documents. Your project manager gains time for leadership, decisions and stakeholders. The service focuses on public sector projects and is also available to private companies with complex ICT projects.

Your business needs

Give your project manager time to lead

Too much administration

Plans, reports, meeting records and budget tracking compete with project leadership. Your project manager spends time maintaining information instead of steering decisions and working with stakeholders.

Reporting that falls behind

Late or incomplete reports and outdated logs leave the project owner and steering committee without a reliable view of status, budget and risks.

Formal requirements

Required deliverables, phase documents and tender documentation need to be complete and current. Preparing them at the last minute creates avoidable stress and rework.

Who this is for

Operational support for your existing project leadership

For cantons, cities, federal offices, healthcare and education organizations, and private companies with complex ICT and security projects. The service supports projects that already have a project manager or project management team.

Project management / Project management team

Support with operational routines, plans and documentation, leaving more time for leadership and decisions.

Project sponsors

Consistent reporting that provides a reliable view of project status, budget and risks.

Steering committee / Procurement

Prepared meeting documents, decision records and tender documentation to support formal project and procurement processes.

How we deliver

Reliable support for your day-to-day project work

  1. Maintain the plans, milestones and resource overviews used by your project manager and team.

  2. Prepare reporting, maintain risk and issue logs, and track the budget.

  3. Keep formal deliverables current and prepare tender documents and evaluations where required.

  4. Prepare meeting materials, minutes, information and training documents to support stakeholders and project governance.

Value begins in the first weeks of the assignment, with relief for the project manager within the first reporting cycle. Typical lead time from award to start is one to two weeks under an existing framework agreement or as an addition to an ongoing SECURIX mandate, and two to three weeks for a new mandate. This depends on consultant availability and customer onboarding, including any security clearance.
