How secure is your information (and how do you know)?

Asking the right questions is absolutely critical when it comes to managing information security. Successful organizations start the process by asking questions such as:

  • How critical is the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of our data to operations? Our reputation?
  • What regulatory requirements do we need to meet?
  • How well equipped is our technical team to deal with our security requirements, risks, and threats?
  • Do we have reliable ways of measuring performance and risk?
  • Is it possible to benchmark against peers in our industry?
  • What assurances do we have from parties with whom we exchange sensitive data?
  • How reliable are our operational contingency plans?

Starting the dialogue is senior management's responsibility. The role of an independent, specialized firm like Bulldog Digital Security, is to get answers and report back to management in plain English. As discussed in the "How We Operate" page, there are many benefits to the client in terms of improved accountability, demonstrating effective management, and in the end analysis, a more secure environment.

Simple Spam Prevention: have a look at the source code on our "contacts" page - you won't see the "@" symbol anywhere. Why? Because spammers use "bot" programs to harvest email addresses from the the Internet and they're looking for the "@" symbol. Here's a nice clean solution: obfuscate email addresses using "hex" code in the html instead of plain text. A hex converting tool can be found here.
