IT Risk Management and Forensics

The Internet is a breeding ground for individuals to perpetrate often undetected or untraceable cyber-based crimes. Insider activity, whether committed knowingly or unknowingly, is the primary source of destructive cyber activity within organizations. Externally, criminals are increasingly exploiting technology to stay one step ahead of law enforcement. Various critical and complex industry and governmental regulations have been created to combat such malicious cyber activity. This endless alphabet soup of compliance regulations includes Basel II to Sarbanes-Oxley Act and HIPPA's healthcare standards, as well as, The Patriot Act, PCI and PII and employee privacy issues among others. The risks associated with non-compliance can be a business's top concern given management's legal responsibility for compliance.

These IT risks are real and can jeopardize the future viability of any business. Luckily, the fast pace of technology can also be used in controls, investigations and proceedings against these activities. Whether conducing due diligence to determine which risks and regulations apply to a business or performing due care to make certain the business achieves, maintains, monitors and reports on its regulation compliance and risks, even the most experienced management staff seeks expert advice.
