There used to be a time when a data security breach was the last thing on the minds of corporate executives and business owners. Now, everyday a new data security breach or data theft is in the headlines or previously exposed breaches report even more damage. This has business leaders and government agencies scrambling for solutions to very complex, evolving threats to their information systems and to the sensitive data they contain.

Senior management is ultimately responsible for establishing policies and budgeting for the proper tools. Too often the network administrator or a third-party contractor bears the brunt of the blame when a breach occurs. However many breaches are the result of improper or non-existent data security policies, lack of employee training and inferior data storage practices.

The Boomarang Safeguard Program is a ground-breaking application designed by our data security experts attorneys and project managers to help you implement best practices and demonstrate due diligence in just a few easy steps. Our technology and methods meet State and Federal compliance requirements such as HIPAA, GLB, FTC Safeguards Rule, NASD/SEC, IRS and PCI. Our expertise can help businesses, government offices, schools and universities to protect personal information from unauthorized disclosure or abuse.

The Boomarang Safeguard Program has the tools you need to establish a proactive data security program: professionally designed policies and forms, web-based and onsite employee safeguard training and encrypted online data backup services, all in one easy to administer program.

News reports of identity thefts connected to lost/stolen backup tapes are rampant. In particular, laptop computers and unencrypted backup tapes have become favorite targets for identity thieves. Experts estimate that most data thefts are inside jobs (disgruntled or dishonest employees) putting business owners, employees jobs and customers personal privacy and security at serious risk. This threat affects small businesses just like large corporations. So regardless of size that means there are only TWO kinds of businesses:

1. Those who have ALREADY experienced a data security breach (by loss or theft);

2. Those who WILL.

For companies already dealing with a data security breach it is absolutely critical that you demonstrate immediate changes to your data security policies and practices.

For companies who have NOT had a data security breach you must establish preventive data security practices as a legal defense prior to a breach, lawsuit or anyone questioning your data handling practices.

Boomarang has a team of highly qualified technical and legal professionals with over 50 years of collective experience. Back in 1999 we predicted that there would be an explosion of security breaches and identity theft. To date over 95 million records of US residents have been compromised since February 2005.

Nothing can stop every threat but a data security risk assessment will identify potential internal and external threats to sensitive information. Documenting your assessment and having a proactive plan to protect sensitive information is critical to building good faith with customers and employees.

Avoiding or minimizing exposure to a data breach is an important part of due diligence. The Boomarang Safeguard Program was designed by our data security and legal experts to help your company implement best practices and demonstrate due diligence. It all starts with a confidential risk assessment which will help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your current data security practices. The results will be used to generate a report with guidelines and procedures for protecting data as part of a responsible data security program.

It's well worth the time to prepare for a data security breach than to be caught off guard. It only takes a few minutes to complete and all responses are kept strictly confidential.
