Kroll cyber specialists have worked in a wide variety of enterprises and law enforcement agencies all over the world on threat intelligence.

We take what we’ve learned from responding to over 3,200 cyber incidents a year to present a nuanced view of any potential gaps in security and offer recommendations on how to prioritize improvements. 

Every company’s data lives in a dynamic ecosystem of hardware, software, business processes and human interaction. With all four elements constantly in flux, it’s difficult to keep up emerging security threats. By teaming up with Kroll to review their systems on a regular basis clients get our 360-degree view of cyber risk.

We customize our assessments for the complexity of a company’s operations, including any applicable regulatory or industry-specific standards or regional privacy laws, including the DPA 2018, UK GDPR and the FCA rules, as well as global frameworks like NIST, MITRE, HIPAA, NY-DFS, PCI, EU GDPR, among others. Kroll is also technology agnostic, reflecting our longstanding reputation as a trusted impartial advisor, investigator and factfinder. 

Kroll’s system assessments provide pragmatic insights to help clients develop and implement proactive or remedial strategies, including any regular components in a defensive cyber security program, acquisition due diligence, or responses to cyber incidents when the need to shore up security is greater than ever.

Robust Cyber Risk Preparedness Assessments and Testing

Below are a few of our cyber security assessment and testing solutions:

  • Email and Cloud Security Assessments
    Cloud migration and implementation have proved to be an Achilles’ heel for many cyber security programs. Kroll’s cloud security assessments include reviews of existing technical security controls, such as firewalls, intrusion detection solutions, antivirus software and log management. We also examine and recommend improvements for security management processes such as policy development and adherence, analytics on collected security data and data classification programs. 
  • Ransomware Preparedness
    Drawing on vast experience with ransomware investigations, Kroll has identified 14 crucial security areas and ransomware attack vectors that organizations should examine to identify their systems’ strengths and vulnerabilities.
  • Regulatory and Standards-Based Assessments
    Utilizing both legal and technical expertise, Kroll evaluates and maps existing controls to ensure compliance with a wide range of international regulatory frameworks, such as HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, NY DFS, CMMC , NY SHIELD and industry standards such as ISO 27001, NIST 800-53 and CIS Top 20. 
  • Web Application Security Assessments
    In addition to examining web applications for underlying security flaws and vulnerabilities, Kroll will also determine whether any internal or third-party developers, have inadvertently left critical code exposed on cloud-based repositories like GitHub, Bitbucket and Gitlab.
