One on one or group consulting

Sometimes the best way to improve your business processes is to show a skilled outsider how you do things and let them make suggestions for improvement. As a consultant, I can show you where your information practices may be lacking and provide specific steps on how to mitigate or eliminate the risks in the following areas:

  • Does your company trust new technology too easily? RFID, Cloud Technology, e-voting. Industry is usually quick to adopt new capabilities without first considering the risk often with disastrous results.
  • There are good tools and techniques out there for keeping your company data safe. Does yours use them?
  • Do you have policies in place that handle visitors, that describe what can be thrown away or sold and what can’t?
  • Do you have a threat-awareness program to warn employees of current and emerging threats? Do your employees pay attention to it?

Hiring me

Even if I’m only able to improve one or two of your practices in our time together, the risks of bad publicity or lawsuits that you avoid will certainly justify the cost.

"This highly-informative presentation was filled with practical, relevant information, and Jeremy was energetic and very entertaining.... he should give lessons on how to get lots of points across to a broad audiences in a timely manner! outstanding session - one of the week's best!"
