Employee Risk

Most security breaches are initiated from the inside, by trusted staff. In addition, terminated employees may have obtained company information over the course of their employement which can be used against the company strategically or operationally.  Many of the investigations IT Acceleration is engaged on relate to terminated employees and identifying the risk, or worse, preparing for litigation for a variety of matters. Employers need to understand these risks to address issues before they explode into costly and time consuming litigation.

Competitive Risk

Many a trusted executive or member of a highly skilled workforce have fallen victim to a lapse in good judgment. Revenge for a perceived injustice, inducements by a competitor, a desire to start a competing business, or other motivations have led individuals to copy and export sensitive data to external computers—and even run a competitive or related business from their employer's facility. Undetected, impact to a business can range from harmful to devastating.

Compliance Risk

In the U.S., more than 14,000 federal and state regulations govern functions and processes performed by corporate computer systems. Companies across all industries are affected and are subject to assorted regulatory actions, including criminal or civil penalties, if found not to be in compliance. Insufficient company processes, policies, standards, and operating procedures, or employees' failure to follow standards and procedures, pose serious threats to the company and culpable individuals.
