Risk Assessment

Is your business at risk of nation-state attack?

Your business has incalculable assets, including key employees, sensitive research, customer data, and critical IP.  Many nation-states, and the businesses they support, want your assets for their development, and they will use a variety of unscrupulous tactics to acquire them.  We tell you the likelihood of a nation-state attack on your business, including what they want from you – it’s usually more than IP – and how they’ll try to obtain your information.

Risk Intelligence

Is your business getting the risk information it needs?

Businesses want a comprehensive risk picture that includes nation-state actors.  They understand the myriad of traditional risks they face, like pandemics, environmental disasters and domestic terrorism, but need help making sense of the massive amounts of information available today.  Our comprehensive approach looks across the information landscape to address areas like reputational risk.  We help our clients get the information they need to make well-informed decisions about the risks they face.

Vulnerability Assessment

How vulnerable is your business to an insider attack?

Employees are being recruited by a variety of entities to exploit a businesses’ most valuable assets.  Firms must understand how their employees are vulnerable to exploitation.  We assess the strengths and vulnerabilities of your current employee protection efforts.  A comprehensive security program should contain certain key elements, including international standards and industry best practices.  We assess the current state, identify gaps, and provide tailored, actionable recommendations on how to enhance your position.

Employee Security

How is your company protecting its employees?

We design and build bespoke programs to educate and protect employees against a range of threats.  The program will be customized to suit the client’s culture and specific security needs.  We provide policy recommendations, training programs/materials, develop analytic processes, and engage best-in-class service providers.  We also help businesses maintain their security efforts by conducting periodic reviews and assisting with incident response and management.

Investigations and Advisory Services

How does your business investigate a potential insider incident?

Internal investigations of employees, especially those potentially recruited to do harm to the firm, require special handling.  The potential involvement of a sophisticated nation-state means a misstep could result in the investigation being discovered.  If your company suffers an incident, we will help manage the investigation to get the best possible outcome.  We help you understand what was taken, how it will likely be used, and what the ultimate damage to your company could be. This can include interacting on your behalf with attorneys and federal/state/local law enforcement.

How can your business compete with a state owned or supported company?

Many businesses realize they are competing with nation-state-supported companies in many regions of the world.  These companies play by a different set of rules.  They often engage in a variety of anti-competitive activities to grab and hold market share.  We help businesses navigate the increasingly competitive commercial environment leveraging our global connections and expertise, allowing you to make informed risk/reward decisions in your company’s best interests.
