Our information protection, data security, personal data security, trade secret protection, and intellectual property protection consulting includes: 

• Tailored information protection strategy. Pro-Tec Data assists you in developing the right confidential company information protection, data security, personal data security, trade secret protection, and intellectual property protection strategy for your company.
• Information protection risk assessment: We assess your company's information loss risks and security gaps to help you pinpoint the most effective strategy to improve company information security, trade secret protection, private data security, and intellectual property protection. We evaluate business operations and corporate culture. We help you leverage your company’s current information protection resources, and recommend improvements that enhance your return on investment. We use a cost-effective risk assessment approach that ensures executive support for the results.
• Trade secret audit: We compare your existing information protections to those required to establish reasonable efforts in trade secret litigation. We tailor our recommendations to prepare your company to win trade secret lawsuits, and to help your company meet regulatory information security requirements, policy mandates, and contractual obligations. We provide an action plan for your company to achieve both baseline standards and industry best practices for protecting trade secrets, confidential information, and private data.
• Information classification schema and information taxonomy. Pro-Tec Data helps you determine the best information classification schema and information taxonomy for your company based on your company's needs and industry best practices. We help implement change management business processes that ensure a smooth and seamless transition to new data classifications.
• Confidential Information identification and classification. We help you identify and classify your company’s sensitive information, trade secrets, and private information. Pro-Tec Data helps you develop categorical lists of information, by classification, as a reference for your employees and system (e.g., DLP). We make this process easy by using Pro-Tec Data’s proprietary industry-specific templates.
• Information protection policies and procedures. Pro-Tec Data helps you keep current and comprehensive your information protection, trade secret protection, personal data security, and data security policies, guidelines, standards and procedures. We develop tailored information protection, trade secret protection, private data protection, and data security policies that are effective in your business environment and meet legal standards, such as privacy and information security requirements from state, national, and global privacy laws.

• Measurable success. Pro-Tec Data helps you develop metrics to gauge information security, trade secret protection, classification system, and intellectual property protection success. We help implement business processes that hold stakeholders, including non-employee contingent workforce members, such as contractors, consultants, suppliers and business partners, accountable to protect the information your company entrusts to them. Pro-Tec Data helps you to build positively confidential business environments where information security, trade secret protection, and intellectual property growth are imbued corporate values. Our change management approach helps employees respect the value of information and intellectual property, and understand the importance of safeguarding it.
