infoLock Technologies Announces Innovative Data Risk Assessment Service
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA (MARCH 2, 2010)—Lifecycle data security firm, infoLock Technologies (ILT), is pleased to announce the launch of an innovative new service—Data Risk Assessment (DRA)—that provides organizations with insight into their data loss risks along with preemptive strategies to improve and enforce business processes before they result in costly incidents.
"Right now, protecting sensitive data is paramount for corporations across all industry verticals," said Chris Wargo, ILT President and co-founder. "Our compact, fast-turnaround Data Risk Assessment provides clear, actionable, and immediate insight into possible data leaks and helps organizations prevent data breaches before they occur."
The Data Risk Assessment provides content-specific scanning for sensitive data, including credit card numbers (CCNs), Social Security Numbers (SSNs) and other personally identifiable information, employee financial and medical information, business-confidential data, and intellectual property assets. Additionally, the assessment can leverage regulatory frameworks, including: HIPAA, GLBA, PCI-DSS, SOX, FERPA, FISMA, and others.
infoLock Technologies' Senior Security Consultant, Sean Steele, said, "The real value in the Data Risk Assessment is the combination of technical tools and practical IT security and audit experience that we bring to bear. This enables us to not only report on actual data loss, but to identify risky business practices and work with clients on developing, implementing, and tracking improved controls over time."
The Data Risk Assessment can provide a snapshot in time or, when used on a routine basis, an ongoing operational improvement and trend analysis of business process effectiveness. By formalizing the assessment service, infoLock Technologies is now able to provide a structured approach to improve a client's IT security posture.
