Original Press Release:
ID Experts Announces Breach HealthCheck(TM)
New Tool For Businesses To Quickly Measure Their Breach Protection Index(TM)
BEAVERTON, Ore., July 21 /-- ID Experts , the leader in data breach prevention and remediation, today announced Breach HealthCheck, a patent pending tool that enables businesses to measure and track their Breach Protection Index. Along with the Breach Protection Map(TM), the tool helps companies quickly evaluate and check at-a-glance whether they are striking the right balance between their data breach exposure level and corresponding risk management programs.
Breach HealthCheck is designed to measure a business' breach protection level by measuring its exposure to breach and gaps between the exposure level and the protections that are in place. Breach HealthCheck uses a mathematical model that produces a Breach Protection Index and Breach Protection Map, which combine to provide a visual insight into the business' preparedness and protection against the growing threat of breach incidents. Businesses will be able to benchmark and monitor their breach protection programs over time so they can identify an appropriate target-operating zone, both internally and as compared to their industry peers.
-- Breach Protection Index (BPI) is a score produced by a mathematical model using a pre-defined set of expert-weighted questions and scoring criterion. The BPI helps the business better understand its data breach protection needs, based on the sensitivity of its brand, its regulatory obligations, the type and sensitivity of data that it handles, and the relative maturity of its breach protection and privacy programs and processes.
-- Breach Protection Map (BPM) is a heat-map that provides an easy to understand and visual analysis of the business' protection level. The map uses color-coded zones where the zones represent the existence of gaps between the required level of protection and the breach exposure.
"No company is immune to a data breach," said Bob Gregg, CEO of ID Experts. "The challenge is to have the ability to effectively quantify and visualize your risk level and to know if and where you have the most exposure so it can be addressed. Breach HealthCheck is a tool that helps companies do just that, so they can take preventative action and develop and implement the appropriate risk mitigation strategies."
Breach HealthCheck is available immediately for all industries, companies, and organizations that maintain customer and partner databases with any type of Personally Identifiable Information (PII)--such as Social Security Numbers or credit card account numbers-- and/or Protected Health Information (PHI) that could put them at risk for a data breach. This tool is available as part of ID Experts Breach Prevent services and Breach Prevent for Healthcare, a customizable set of services designed specifically for healthcare organizations to easily and cost-effectively comply with the new HITECH Act privacy regulations (also announced today).
