Service providers Andrews International, Procysive and The Harrell Group have joined forces to create Cyber Theft Solutions (CTS), which offers cyber theft prevention, detection and response mitigation services to organisations that store identity-sensitive information.

The companies said that CTS will serve major corporations, mid-sized businesses, nonprofit groups, educational institutions and government entities with an integrated dashboard of cyber risk assessment, breach detection, physical asset protection, incident investigation, risk mitigation and communications services.

In addition, CTS will also help clients comply with anticipated Federal mandates expected to dictate how organisations protect identity-specific information, as well as how they must respond to a breach should one occur.

According to Andrews International, CTS will have the capability to perform a assessment of clients’ current physical and cyber security policies; evaluate compliance with existing security measures; identify physical and cyber vulnerabilities; employ proprietary intrusion detection and prevention systems; scan web and social networking sites to identify threats to physical, data and personal security; investigate breach attempts and incidents; and plan and implement proactive and responsive communications programs.

CTS will also partner with each client to determine the services of greatest value in helping ensure that its stored information, business transactions and/or physical assets are secure from cyber criminals. It will also help ensure that the client complies with emerging governmental requirements.

William Besse, vice president of consulting and investigations at Andrews International, said: To our knowledge, this alliance represents the first offering of a comprehensive array of services to help organisations navigate the increasingly perilous waters of cyber crime.

“Criminals intent on stealing information are rapidly adapting to current cyber protection strategies, and we believe that the approach we’re taking with CTS will better help organisations deal with cyber crime.
