We can help you protect your information assets from threat or compromise.

Most of what your company does is not itself sensitive or proprietary. Yet it can convey important information that others can interpret to your competitive disadvantage.

We can:

1. determine your essential elements of information (through interviews and audits)
2. see how an outsider can learn them from observing your "normal" activities (through primary interviewing and analysis of public records), and
3. then propose feasible and cost effective operational practice changes.

That is the heart of operations security: deliberately looking for weaknesses in your operational practices that others could exploit and plugging them.

We can audit your security policies and train your employees in basic security awareness. That training and education will help your staff prevent the inadvertent disclosure of information -- perhaps innocent information -- that others could interpret to your competitive disadvantage.

Good security practices consists of making sure that you have policies in place to address security practices and events; and that your staff knows it.

Security is more than just "guns, guards, and dogs." Those are your last lines of defense.

We believe most companies have a good handle on these security basics. Because we are experts at competitive analysis collection, we understand those things that would make our job more difficult. We offer the next level of security: good operational practices and the sensitivity of your entire staff to how they can contribute to their own security and that of your company.

Good Operations Security is the best defense against another's Good Competitive Intelligence.
