A security vulnerability assessment is a comprehensive discovery, auditing and reporting of your security practices. Using our expertise in securing networks, social engineering and identifiable vulnerabilities, we are capable of identifying your network's weaknesses. We also provide a review of your current policies to determine your areas of weaknesses. ( More Details )

Network Forensics:
The term computer forensics typically refers to a single computer that is examined by a forensic examiner. However, what if the environment that needs to be examined is a network, which contains multiple computers, domain controllers and e-mail servers. DataClues possesses the expertise to conduct network forensics and track users across the network. Through forensics, we can determine if a user was logged on locally to the computer or had authenticated to the domain. Using unique user identifiers, we can track a user’s file placement on various data devices attached to the network.

Network forensics is minimally a complicated process and should only be conducted by a experienced examiners. The network and forensic background of all examiners employed by DataClues meets the rigorous demands required of Network forensics.

Intrusion Analysis:
Closely related to Network Forensics, Intrusion analysis allows us to gain insight into the hacking world. Through forensic techniques, we can determine the method used to gain unauthorized access into your network. Basically, the hacker’s methods are reverse engineered to give a clear and concise picture of what occurred. In some cases, the hacker’s tools “A.K.A. Root kit” is discovered on the compromised machine. This is where many of the hacker’s techniques and abilities are discovered.

Out of an Intrusion Analysis comes the understanding of vulnerabilities. Based on the method of attack and compromise, a sound security measure can be set into place to prevent future intrusions related to the same vulnerability. DataClues can also provide you with full security assessment.

Policy Review:
An often over looked area in the corporate environment is the policy related to the corporate network. Without proper policy in place, what actually constitutes a policy violation for termination purposes? Lack of the proper policy documentation can be very detrimental to the corporate “bottom line.” Unfortunately, it is usually an “after the fact” event that occurs.

The greatest area of concern, in our experience, is the policy that pertains to employee usage of the company computers, and company network. This policy is key in defending the corporation when an employee is terminated for a “policy violation”. Without clearly defined policy, the risk of suffering and losing a wrongful termination lawsuit is high.

DataClues possesses the experience and expertise required to evaluate your company computer and network policy. We can work closely with you, the security professional, to determine if they require changes or updates due to new laws. Let us help you in the protection of your corporation’s most valuable asset, “The Bottom Line”.

Hard Drive Sanitation:
Hard drive sanitation is exactly what it sounds like, except digitally. Many people are under the impression that reformatting destroys the data. Many IT personnel believe that reinstalling the operating system, on top of the old data, will eliminate what was once there. All of the above are false. Due to the nature of the way file systems work, very seldom is data actually deleted.

Poor recycling or sanitation of hard drive media can be disastrous. Company or client data can unknowingly be released into the public. Once that data has been released from the corporate environment, it is almost impossible to recover it, as data is so easily copied and transmitted across the Internet. DataClues can provide solid industry techniques and software to accomplish the necessary processes your corporation needs to maintain data integrity.
