YOUR TRUSTED PARTNER IN RISK MITIGATION

Security Audit

Security audit is an integral part of any business. After all, security measures are of little use if they are not enforced. A security audit assesses how effectively your organization’s security policies are being implemented and our audits will show you where gaps and vulnerabilities might exist in your current systems and procedures.

What Does a Cybersecurity Audit Cover?

IT security services emphasize cybersecurity guidelines and policies that ensure that your compliance requirements have been met. The audit covers your employees’ devices and your organization’s infrastructure, covering software to hardware. However, our cybersecurity audit goes well beyond the surface, expanding the scope to cover security policies and guidelines, at the same time ensuring that your statutory regulations have been met. The audit evaluates the following:

Data Security

A data security audit starts with a complete review of your network access control. Auditors will also check if you use encryption and your data security during transmission and storage.

Operational Security

The IT security services look at the security policies in place. It also examines the security control, process, and procedure in your data loss strategy. 

Network Security

Auditors review your security protocols and network controls. They will check your antivirus configurations and security monitoring capabilities are functioning correctly. 

System Security

The auditor will ensure that your data hardening process is working effectively. They will also check the patching processes and role-based access. 

Physical Security

In the last stage of an audit, the auditor reviews the biometric data, role-based access controls, multi factor authentication, and disk encryption.

Actual Use Cases

We Can Find Your Valuable Data Wherever It Shows Up Online

From our experience, the Dark Web is often the first place place your data is leaked to or where sensitive data appears before organizations even know it's been taken. One of the most common types of data is exposed credentials for sale or exchange on chatting channels, forums, and criminal marketplaces.

Digital Risk Protection

The dark web is a breeding ground for threats that can seriously damage businesses, from stolen data to covert attacks on digital or physical assets. We offer comprehensive evaluations of this environment, through targeted, continuous, and timely identification of specific threats and vulnerabilities. A full visibility of new and evolving risks gives your business the actionable insight you need to drive a proactive defense strategy.

Organized Retail Crime

Stolen and counterfeit goods are often sold on dark web marketplaces and forums, costing companies and consumers millions. Hackers can also compromise online checkout systems to extract shopper's credentials and credit card numbers, which are then sold online. Marcum Darby’s dark web search identifies these leaked details, giving companies and individuals actionable insight into their vulnerabilities.

Human Trafficking

Human traffickers post millions of adverts per month across the internet, using shell profiles and encryption methods to avoid detection. Marcum Darby uses real-time data to sift through the noise, getting to relevant data at pace. Using faceless browsing, Marcum Darby links anonymous buyers and sellers to identifiable users across multiple platforms. Comprehensive digital records give investigators the evidence they need to verify suspects and bring them to trial.

Identity Theft

Personal information or corporate assets are often listed for sale across dark web forums and marketplaces. In 2020 alone, identity theft cost consumers over $4 billion in out-of-pocket expenses. Marcum Darby's dark web search gives organizations in-depth visibility of their vulnerable data, creating opportunities for proactive safeguarding.

Financial Fraud

Financial security is a priority with Marcum Darby's suite of services. We provide real-time relevant intelligence without organizations having to access networks like Tor and I2P directly.

Cryptocurrency Investigations

Cryptocurrency is the predominant token of transaction on the dark web. The anonymous nature of blockchain technology makes source-tracing difficult. Marcum Darby's dark web search can help investigators to identify the owner of a cryptocurrency wallet, or to track the activity of a known individual over time. This allows organizations to see illegal activity that might otherwise go undetected.

Brand Reputation

A data breach from your organization leaked onto the dark web can wreak havoc on your brand reputation. The key is to identify data breaches as soon as they occur. Marcum Darby's dark web reporting can help you detect when sensitive information from your organization has been leaked, so that you can take action accordingly.

Fraud Investigations

Using Dark Web Data to Identify Deceitful Claims

Marcum Darby can help you identify fraudulent claims affecting healthcare, vehicle, homeowners, commercial insurance and more. In order to avoid fraud, many insurance companies take extreme caution when paying out insurance claims. To this end, it is essential for all insurers to have an experienced legal team to help evaluate potential fraud and misrepresentation in all areas of operation.

Auto and Home

Discover PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data that is connected to an IP address, payment account, driver’s license, SSN, VIN, and license plate. Carriers can use a combination of name/DOB/zip to return a high hit probability of locating relevant parties connected to a loss, policy or incident. Acquire intelligence referencing your company’s name, policy or claim numbers which correlates to a person, business, vehicle or a the date/time/place of an accident.

Directors and Officers

Marcum Darby equips companies to identify scams and exploits used to obtain proprietary company data or access assets from company executives. If there is exposed data to be found, we will locate it, retroactively and proactively, on the dark or open web. In this way your company will be protected from impending litigation, or previously unknown negative information.

Commercial Liability

Locate intelligence related to a business, professional or legal entity showing fraudulent use of business IP (Intellectual Property), trademark or trade secrets. Search for early signs of a data breach, insider activity or threat based data against the business.

Disability

Marcum Darby's investigation report presents evidence of activity or collusion that contradicts recorded injury or disability on a claim. Insurance companies can then identify information beyond the scope of medically provided opinions on severity of the disability. Our software allows us to uncover data that reveals when a claimant obtained medical approval of disability through collusive activity with a medical professional.

Bodily Injury

Marcum Darby is able to locate any evidence of activity beyond the scope of reported injuries and medical treatment. Data indicating another cause or pre-existing injury which may impact liability, damages or subrogation issues. Research information showing treatment did not occur, was falsified, or in any way differs from records or bills received.

Workmans Comp

We equip insurance companies with information that may indicate that an employer is being targeted by an employee or employee group for unfounded injuries, or whether claimant(s) are working when receiving benefits. Marcum Darby is also able to comprehensively review evidence of a claimant engaged in activities beyond the scope of approved medical disability, whether temporary or permanent.
