Consulting Services

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

Larry sits on the advisory boards of select technology companies. Having participated from all sides of the table -- senior management, engineer, consumer, service provider, reseller, integrator -- his expertise is widely sought. His advise spans the spectrum: interpreting compliance standards; anticipating customers' requirements; charting effective roadmaps; messaging to attract world-class customers; and so forth.

After founding one of the Internet's earliest Managed Security Services (MSS), Larry advised a publicly traded firewall company about requirements for a viable MSS. This resulted in the market's first truly scalable product line targeted at MSS providers. Larry currently sits on the advisory boards of SiteScout, Vantos, Packet Analytics, and Uriel Law.


Technology Litigation

We advise clients that are engaged in technology-related lawsuits. We interpret technology nuances for legal counsel, render expert opinions, and recommend methods of lawfully safeguarding e-discovery materials.

This service regards all technologies, and is not limited to Infosec.

Larry participated on the core defense team for six of Amazon.com's highly publicized alleged patent infringement lawsuits. They included Pinpoint v. Amazon.com, Charles E. Hill & Associates v. Amazon.com, British Technology Group v. Amazon.com, Cendant v. Amazon.com, Soverain Software LLC v. Amazon.com. His team devised innovative proprietary technology pertaining to e-discovery.
