Incident Response & Forensics

Data breaches are on the rise. Organisational liability is high. Risks of identity theft are pervasive. Particularly vulnerable are industries and organisations bound by processes and procedures involving the acquisition, processing, retention, transmission and destruction of protected data, including: PII, PIFI, and PIHI.​ To buck this trend, regulators continue to stack new responsibilities on organisations when they experience a breach: detection capabilities, appropriate response plans, forensic investigation processes, and the capability to report to constituencies and/or regulators.
