When it is impractical to employ a full-time IT senior security professional, securing the expertise of a virtual Chief Information Security Officer or “vCISO” is essential. Our vCISO program provides an experienced information security and data privacy professional to help reduce data, privacy and regulatory risk and protect against reputational and financial liability. Collaborating with an organization’s internal teams, our vCISO professionals help develop strategic corporate security goals, implement and monitor effective IT governance, assure adherence to security policies and procedures, protect against threats and respond to breaches immediately and effectively.

Combining in-depth assurance and tax accounting experience with forensics, analytical and litigation finesse, we help today’s organizations identify occurrences of fraud, internal policy violations and compromised security. Leveraging backgrounds in new and emerging technologies, threats and trends, we investigate the full range of devices that store digital data – from mobile phones, USBs, tablets and computers to social media, cloud environments, file and mail servers. Supporting clients in both the private and public sectors, we help design prevention strategies, pursue vulnerabilities and resolve incidents for corporate human resources, legal and internal audit departments as well as defense and prosecuting attorneys, law enforcement officers and government representatives.

To protect against the debilitating seizure of corporate credentials, we help detect stolen assets and other personally identifiable information (PII) before they can be used for identity theft, data breaches or other crimes. Deploying both human and artificial intelligence, we operate continuously in areas where confidential information is most vulnerable, including criminal chat rooms, websites, blogs, bulletin boards, botnets, peer-to-peer networks, forums, private networks and other black-market sites. Our advanced credential monitoring capabilities are the same as those used by numerous Fortune 500 companies and have proven indispensable at preventing the disastrous consequences of Dark Web crime.

A sound data governance framework directs an organization’s data asset management, encompassing security, privacy, integrity, usability, integration, compliance, quality, availability and associated data flows. To help businesses become data-driven, we design standardized controls, policies, procedures and best practices to manage, utilize and protect data assets – all critical to improving data quality, reducing data risk and gaining insights that maximize value and optimize decision making and communication.

To secure mandated cybersecurity certification and enhance DoD contract competitiveness, defense contractors and suppliers rely on us for independent third-party accreditation, readiness assessments and compliance implementation. This vital certification affirms the level of “maturity,” or effectiveness, of a prime or subcontractor’s cybersecurity safeguards. We evaluate the full range of technology platforms and engineer customized solutions to protect classified information resources. We produce clear, easily understood findings and can help correct compliance deficiencies.
