Financial Data Management

Financial systems, processes, and workflows produce and interact with a variety of information (FM-data) who’s quality and availability are critical. Axiologic Solutions provides services that are focused on FM-data across the entire data lifecycle, and includes:

Data security and privacy: applying the RMF to secure FM-Data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and ensure privacy
Enterprise Data Management functions: a tailored set of capabilities to cover the entire FM-data lifecycle, including:
- Data Architecture: as related to the agencies Enterprise Architecture
- Data Integration: with other FM-data and non-FM-data; to support data analysis, data science, data reporting, and data warehousing
- Data Fusion: to support data quality management, master data management, data analysis, data science, data reporting, and data warehousing
- Master Data Management: deduplication, quality management
- Reference Data Management: use of code tables
- Data Quality Management: various perspectives

Test and Training Data Sets (Labeled, unlabeled): to support data science and M
Data Governance: to control change to the data and to the applications/systems
Data Audits

Financial Data Analysis.

As part of our Data Science service area, we provide specialized skills for the analysis of financial data (statistical, probabilistic, first-generation machine learning), largely to support identifying trends/patterns and anomalies in the data. These include:

Time series/temporal analysis
Anomaly detection (tampering, fraud, errors, quality, etc.)
Data visualization

Business Controls and Compliance, and FMS Cyber-Security.

We provide specialized services focused on ensuring that the FM business processes, workflows, software logic, data logic, and integration meet all regulations, compliance, security, and privacy requirements. It is basically a multi-focus/multi-layer compliance and security focus. These include:

FMS cyber-security: tailoring NIST RMF for FMS include A&A and ATOs (overlaps with the Axiologic Solutions Next Generation System Assessment & Authorization (A2-TNG) Service)
Business controls (policies, procedures, SOPs, configurations): defining, implementing, validating, and auditing

Strategic Planning and Advisory Services.

We provide specialized services supporting the government in significant strategic initiatives, specifically:

FMS related Enterprise Architecture planning
FMS modernization, upgrading, migration, digital transformation
