Data Management & Retention

Helping customers understand what they own, its value, and how it should be protected

Companies accumulate massive amounts of information over time. It’s often stored in a wide array of formats. Spreadsheets, word documents, databases, images, binary data, etc. are all forms of data that describe an organization. These are stored inside the business, in email accounts, inside of software, and often out in the cloud.

The information is where the rubber meets the road. Not all data are created equal, and there are only so many hours in the day to manage it. The combination of what you own and where it’s stored makes up much of the value of a business. We’ll help you sort out what’s critical to your business and what’s less important. Once we’ve identified the crown jewels, we can help protect those critical assets.

We can also help you do away with data that’s just “hanging around.” A consistent, policy-based approach is the best method to drive down cost, reduce resource drain, and prepare you for the inevitable “legal discovery request.”

Security Awareness Training

Creating employees capable of protecting their workplace

Security is only as strong as the people who ensure it. Once our systems are in place, we’ll help you build a healthy, living culture of security awareness that will endure long after our work is finished. We’ll engage your employees with training sessions and materials, get them involved and aware of their role in the security program, teach them how to work smartly and securely, and create a team mentality with your organization’s security at the center.

Your employees will not only learn what not to do, they’ll act as your greatest line of defense and secure the place that they love to work for.

We also offer a Continued Employee Awareness program that keeps everyone up to date once you’ve made the initial investment in their knowledge. A combination of online training and videos with the latest “things to look out for” will ensure that the employees continue to be on the lookout for threats and bad actors.

Incident Response

We’re here for you in your time of need.

Security breaches surface in a variety of forms. Sometimes it’s as simple as a file that you know used to be there, or a customer service representative who takes a strange call that just doesn’t feel right. Occasionally it’s as stark as a screen stating that all of your files have been locked and you need to pay in BitCoin.

No matter how you learn about it, detecting a breach is an awful event, often leaving people feeling violated and angry. We’re able to manage that emotion, work through the technical solutions necessary to deal with the immediate problem, and walk you back to where you were beforehand.

Once the immediate problems are solved, we’ll help you work through the facts in a confidential and productive manner. We find the combination of solutions – human, technical, and procedural – and help prevent your company from being victimized again.

Security Program Implementation

Turnkey security programs get your company’s overall security on track.

Our experts prioritize any weak spots, compile appropriate responses, and assemble a strategic plan for shoring up your security efforts. Using a standard set of industry metrics and offering tiered response options, we’ll present our recommendations and suite of solutions to you and your team.

Together, we tailor a plan that addresses security needs for your specific degree of comfort and expense, finding precisely the level of protection to let your organization succeed securely.

No need to reinvent the wheel; our team will present you with a starting set of documents to get your organization up and running quickly.

Once the plan is solidified, we’ll help you implement. Offering security solutions for your infrastructure and endpoints, security awareness training, managed services and continuous monitoring, compliance and privacy standardization, and executive-level advice and accountability for your security credentials, ProCircular can fill in where your organization doesn’t have the resources, or we can provide full security services for clients who need that level of governance.

Virtual CISO

Let us show you the way and improve your security together

Let’s face it, customers demand accountability. They want to know their data will be secure within your organization. Many companies have responded by adding a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead their security program. Not every organization can afford one of these highly trained—and highly-compensated—professionals.

ProCircular can bring that level of reassurance and credibility to your roster. Functioning as a Virtual CISO, we can be the frontline authority for your security program and privacy/compliance regimen.

We’ll work with your team to manage and improve on your existing security program or help to build a new one from the ground up. This will include steering committee leadership or participation, compliance management, policy development, training and security awareness programs, internal audits and a wide array of other services at a reduced cost.

Your customers get the reassurance and confidence they need, your vendors are able to check their boxes, and you receive the benefits of a diverse team of security specialists at a fraction of the cost.
