Infosec Introspect, Inc.
These services are rendered by our founder. When it is in the client's best interests, we also work with subcontract arrangements.
Compliance Audit Readiness
We assess our clients' readiness for technology compliance audits.
There are compelling business reasons for engaging us in advance of
major audit milestones. They include the earliest possible opportunities to:
- identify areas likely to require mitigation
- introduce temporary compensating controls
- commence mitigation planning
Properly executed, this stands to supplement auditor confidence, promote their timely departure, and release precious resources back to the business.
At Amazon.com, Larry served as business owner for material portions of Payment Card Industry / Data Security Standard (PCI/DSS) and Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404.
Investor Due Diligence
We advise early stage investors, such as Venture Capital and Private Equity firms, regarding
the stature and viability of high tech startups. Our
analyses are comprehensive and cover their products, services,
infrastructure, staff and competitive landscape.
This service regards all technology startups, and is not limited to Infosec.
At Amazon.com, Larry performed the technology due diligence for the acquisitions of MobiPocket, Booksurge, CustomFlix and others.
Outsourcing Securely
We help each client identify their own ideal balance between
two competing business drivers: lowering cost
and improving security. This is attainable
only by skillfully deriving business-palatable
security policies and the technological means to support them.
Diligence of this nature verges on mandatory, given current
the outsourcing and compliance trends of recent years.
At Amazon.com, Larry achieved this in a manner that pragmatically constrained the duties and visibility horizon of more than a thousand offshore people.
Board Membership
