WHAT IS IT?
A comprehensive intelligence assessment of your organization's insider threat vulnerability. We use behavioral analysis, network intelligence, and counterintelligence tradecraft to identify organizational weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious insiders—then develop mitigation strategies specific to your environment. The result: your leadership understands your insider threat risk profile and has a roadmap to reduce it.
WHO NEEDS THIS
- Organizations handling classified or sensitive information (defense contractors, technology, healthcare)
- Companies with high-value IP or trade secrets at risk
- Financial services firms concerned about data theft or fraud
- Organizations with previous security incidents or employee turnover concerns
- Boards wanting clarity on insider threat readiness
- Any organization asking: 'How vulnerable are we to insider threats?'
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Insider threat landscape assessment (your organizational vulnerabilities and risk vectors)
- Behavioral risk profiling (identifying warning signs and high-risk positions)
- Network and access analysis (understanding data access patterns and movement)
- Counterintelligence framework design (detection and response capabilities)
- Mitigation strategies (technical controls, process improvements, cultural measures)
- Risk ranking and prioritization (what to address first)
- Comprehensive assessment report with findings and recommendations
- Board-level presentation on insider threat posture and action plan
- Implementation roadmap and phased approach to risk reduction
TIMELINE
Typically 4-8 weeks depending on organizational size, complexity, and depth of analysis required.
OUTCOMES
- Clear understanding of your insider threat risk profile
- Identification of specific vulnerabilities and high-risk areas
- Prioritized action plan for threat mitigation
- Board confidence in insider threat readiness
- Foundation for ongoing counterintelligence integration with CSIO retainer
WHY THIS MATTERS
Insider threats represent one of the most significant—and often overlooked—security risks:
- Insiders have legitimate access (bypassing many technical controls)
- Insider threats often precede external attacks (reconnaissance/planning)
- Behavioral warning signs often go unrecognized
- Most organizations lack dedicated counterintelligence capability
- Early detection prevents catastrophic data loss or sabotage
OUR APPROACH
We combine intelligence tradecraft with organizational security assessment:
- Behavioral Analysis: Understanding motivations, warning signs, and risk indicators (Army intelligence background)
- Network Intelligence: Identifying data access patterns, privilege abuse, and suspicious movement
- Counterintelligence Tradecraft: Designing detection and response frameworks
- Security Integration: Aligning with your CISO, HR, Legal, and executive team
INTEGRATION WITH ONGOING CSIO RETAINER
This assessment often leads to ongoing insider threat monitoring as part of your Fractional CSIO retainer. Once we understand your organization's risk profile, continuous behavioral monitoring and counterintelligence integration ensures emerging threats are identified early.
