Increased security threats drive new Data Risk Assessment Service

Pentura launches Data Risk Assessment Service

Infosec, 22 April 2008: – Pentura, the UK’s first Risk Management Service Provider, today announced the launch of a new Data Risk Assessment Service that reveals the level of risk to business critical data and allows IT departments to monitor data access behaviours surrounding key systems.

The threats of internal and external data leakage are growing and organisations are realising the true value of their data, not only to the business but to those seeking financial gain. Pentura’s Data Risk Assessment Service will provide a clear data security strategy by identifying, analysing and mitigating the risk to business critical data assets, such as removing excessive permissions and adopting a least privileged access model.

The Data Risk Assessment Service complements Pentura’s Risk Advisory Services by providing visibility into the unstructured data that resides on corporate networks. Having identified business critical data assets, the data is audited and monitored to provide insight into the risks faced.

Key Strategist, Danny White of Pentura comments “The message from our clients is clear. They are facing unprecedented internal and external data leakage threats and need visibility to identify genuine business threats capable of harming the organisation.”

Visit Pentura at Infosec 2008 on Stand G185 between 22nd – 24th April to find out more.
