Insider Risk Advisory

Insider Risk Programs — Built on the Only Certification of Its Kind

Kenneth holds the CERT Insider Threat Program Manager designation from Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute — the only professional certification program of its kind in the country. Combined with U.S. Army counter-intelligence experience and Fortune 100 insider threat work at Dell SecureWorks, this credential combination does not exist elsewhere in the boutique advisory market.

Who Needs an Insider Risk Program

Three organizations where insider risk is the highest-consequence exposure

Healthcare Organizations

Research from the University of Buffalo found that 58% of future healthcare workers would consider selling patient data. HIPAA mandates access controls and workforce training — but most practices do not have a documented insider risk program. We build one.

Professional Services Firms

Law firms, accounting practices, and financial advisors hold confidential client data that departing employees carry with them. ABA and state bar guidance increasingly requires documented security controls. We build programs that address the actual risk — not just the checklist.

Nonprofits

Volunteers and contractors access donor and beneficiary data without standard employment agreements and access controls. That gap is where insider risk lives. We design programs that fit nonprofit structures — without enterprise complexity or cost.
