Alliance offers corporations, law firms proven expertise in averting and responding to data breach incidents
 
Discovia, a leading provider of electronic discovery and related services, has formed a strategic partnership with CyberScout Consulting, a leader in data risk protection, management, and privacy compliance. Together, the two companies will provide corporations and their counsel with consulting to help avoid a damaging breach and assist with incident response planning in the event a breach occurs.

“Sensitive corporate and legal information has become a valuable commodity for hackers and other criminals, and the financial, legal and regulatory consequences of a data breach can be severe. Discovia and CyberScout Consulting will work together to help our clients identify the specific vulnerabilities that put their sensitive data and business performance at risk,” said Discovia Vice President Kris Taylor. 

A data breach can be devastating to the financial health and reputation of a business, and a well-defined data security program is essential to avoiding a breach. CyberScout Consulting’s seasoned team of professionals provide practical, tailored solutions to assist corporations and law firms with compliance, information risk management, security, privacy and data breach response services.  Combined with Discovia’s expertise in data analytics, forensics, and information governance, the companies will offer proven defensive and incident response solutions to corporations and their outside counsel.

“Many companies don’t think about a breach response plan until it is “game day,” but by then it’s too late,” said CyberScout Consulting CEO Deena Coffman. “Joining forces with Discovia means businesses will have access to experts who can identify exposure points and address information security issues, as well as work to protect their company, employees, clients and their bottom line.”
