Data Breach Health Check | ID Experts

Balance your risk of breach and prevention measures

Given the alarming growth in data breach incidents, every organization needs to consider data breach as a serious threat that requires an appropriate risk management strategy. According to a Ponemon study released in 2009, 73% of businesses surveyed reported having experienced a data breach in the past year.

For effective protection against the risk of data breach incidents, your organization first needs to know its level of exposure to data breach and whether your existing protection measures are sufficient. ID Experts' Breach HealthCheck is an online service that enables your organization to measure its exposure to and protection from data breach incidents by submitting an online scorecard. ID Experts then processes your scorecard through a mathematical model that produces a Breach Protection Index (BPI). ID Experts delivers your results using a Breach Protection Map (BPM) along with an analysis of your scores and recommendations for improving your protection level.

ID Experts Breach Protection Index™

The Breach Protection Index (BPI) is produced by our patent pending mathematical model, which uses a pre-defined set of expert-weighted questions and scoring criterion to measure your organization's breach exposure and breach protection levels. The BPI helps you better understand your data breach protection profile, based on the sensitivity of your brand, your regulatory obligations, the type and sensitivity of data that you handle, and the relative maturity of your breach protection and privacy programs and processes.

You can use the BPI initially to establish a baseline measurement and then repeat it as needed to track progress within your company and across your peer organizations.

ID Experts Breach Protection Map™

The Breach Protection Map (BPM) is a heat-map that provides an easy-to-understand visual analysis of the business’ protection level. The map uses color-coded zones to help quickly expose any gaps between breach risks and the required level of protection as determined by your organization’s BPI. The heat-map helps you comprehend your exposure and protection levels at a glance, and it can also be used for benchmarking purposes both internally and against other companies and industries.
