Cloud infrastructure
Many proptech firms use cloud-powered CRM systems, increasing attack surface for breach. Sensitive data, such as personal data, from contacts, bank accounts to insurance information, is held in secure cloud environments, and someone has to watch over these to reduce the risk of leakage. Kobalt.io’s security-monitoring-as-a-service is here to help.
Increasing use of IoT and Big Data to provide deeper insights into consumer behavior sparks the need for better data protection. Any data loss, data theft could evoke havoc on business operations and customer trust.
Whether it’s achieving your SOC2 certification for the first time, staying compliant with HIPAA or PIPEDA, working through ISO27017, conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment or ensuring adherence to other privacy standards, we have the advisors to help speed you on your journey.
Ransomware Protection
From a Forbes report, 46% of organizations suffer brand value damage. Since property firms collect significant amounts of sensitive data, a ransomware attack can cost property firms millions of dollars. Conducting regular vulnerability scans to identify loopholes and address them preemptively helps limit attack surface.
Cyber security breaches entail costly consequences to any business. Rather than seeing security incidents as an IT problem, property firms should treat these as business risks. Our team of expert advisors help ensure you are progressing your cyber security program while freeing up your internal resources to focus on business innovation and serving clients and patients.
User Education
Any attempts in improving your security posture would be in vain if employees have limited awareness. Our extensive penetration testing and code analysis services help ensure your platform is properly locked down, so only legitimate users can access the sensitive data held within. Our security program health checks help you build the foundation and roadmap for your security program from a holistic perspective. Kobalt.io’s user education and HIPAA training helps ensure that your employees know security best practices to keep client data safe and secure.
