Does your firm understand its e-security risks? Are you in danger of data breaches, hackings, privacy scams or the inability to restore lost or damaged information? Capsicum, along with our trusted partner Kleinbard, Bell and Brecker, LLP can conduct a readiness assessment, a detailed security audit or penetration test of your electronic network and environment. When working with Capsicum and Kleinbard, there is no better combination for a technical and legal review of your electronic security.

We know what vulnerabilities an internet presence can present to a company. Our program is designed to assist companies in assessing and remediating their current cyber risks. In addition to addressing Internet-related exposure, FRIGATE provides a comprehensive report that identifies other areas of concern including access control, communication, network security and physical premises security.  One of the unique aspects of the Capsicum/Kleinbard team is that once a company engages Kleinbard to perform a cyber-risk assessment, the information gathered and the report generated is protected under the attorney-client privilege.  This reporting method provides a considerable real-time benefit not offered by other processes:  once a company completes the questionnaire and submits their responses, a detailed report is generated within three business days.  Capsicum and Kleinbard use the report to assist in addressing any areas of concern, both on the technical and legal side, which can potentially negatively affect a company’s bottom line. 

FRIGATE was “developed in response to an ever changing and complex Internet driven business world where it is increasingly important that organizations understand the security risks and legal and technology threats that can negatively impact their bottom line” according to Kleinbard attorney Ned Dunham, the primary architect of FRIGATE.  FRIGATE  is based on a proprietary question-and-answer algorithm that offers organizations a broader and deeper focus on specific risks.  When coupled with Capsicum’s Information Security Assessment our clients can expect a high level analysis of what potential risks exist and what key areas need remediation.

Capsicum’s Information Security Assessments focus on our client’s electronic assets.  We employ a “top-down” approach to evaluating the security of your information, beginning with policies and procedures.  Next we conduct an assessment of your network and application security by putting ourselves in the mindset of a potential intruder to expose any potential gaps in your information security.   Lastly, Capsicum and Kleinbard can also provide consulting services regarding Regulatory Compliance issues related to HIPPA, COPPA, SOX, GLB as well as other industry programs.  Upon completion of the security assessment a report is prepared that outlines the identified areas of concern, the risk levels associated with these areas and potential remediation steps that should be taken.

Many organizations never recover from serious security incidents.  It is imperative that corporations are proactive in assessing and mitigating their cyber risks.  Our technology consultants, teaming with the attorneys at Kleinbard Bell & Brecker LLP, provide comprehensive risk management solutions to help your company reduce potential security risks and enable informed risk management decisions.
