We are a one-stop-shop for all of your cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance needs Security breaches can cause serious financial damages to business operations. On average, data breaches cost $6.5 million per business. It is not a problem faced by big companies alone. In fact, 60% of small and midsize companies account for data breach victims in the US. It is critical that companies take this threat seriously. No business is immune unless stringent security measures are in place and monitored on an on-going basis.
Additionally, many security practices are required due to government regulations. In the U.S., these information security and privacy laws are not completely enforced by the federal government alone; several states have their own laws for information security and privacy in addition to federal regulations. Compliance with disparate statutes can be an extensive challenge for U.S.-based small and midsize companies that conduct business across other states within America and with businesses internationally. To add to the complexity, each county and region has its own regulations for information security, compliance and privacy. For example, once a business is aware of a security breach, they must report it to the relevant authority that has jurisdiction for data security and privacy at that location within a defined time frame. If not reported on time, the enforcement authority may take legal action against that business. This reporting window is different and varies under U.S. federal, state, and international laws.
Small and midsize companies often lack the resources to take adequate measures to combat security breaches and comply with domestic and foreign regulations.

Information Security
Critical information are information assets of the greatest value to any business operation and would cause a major business impact if compromised. Every organization has critical information assets that they want to safeguard from attackers, intruders, competitors and even the general public.

There are inherent dangers of non-compliance to security and regulations, bad media image, tarnished reputation and even financial penalties.

Product Security
Security vulnerabilities in products, networks and processes is not something unheard of. The landscape is continuously changing with Telco-IT convergence, technological evolution of cloud services, Internet of things (IOT), hosting solutions, virtualization, Bring your own device (BYOD), OEM products, third parties, and rapid pace of product development. Periodic vulnerability analysis of an organization’s key products and infrastructure is needed to keep a check on bad actors and maintain good security hygiene to thwart any potential attacks. In certain cases, it is one of the key expectations to meet specific control requirements of security and privacy standards.
Privacy
Many organizations are collecting, storing, managing, sharing or processing personal information during the course of their business operations. With improved awareness of the impact of personal data collection and use, and increased regulation or new security threats, organizations must examine ways to successfully manage personal information throughout its lifecycle. Privacy is also a brand issue and companies need to protect their brand image. Multiple legislations such as GDPR in Europe, CPRA in California and many country privacy legislations mandate a comprehensive risk management approach to privacy. Organizations need to take a pragmatic approach while fulfilling these legal and regulatory obligations to be able to continue delivery of their products and services.

There are targeted packages meant for compliance requirements and to meet customer expectations on specific subjects.
