Kroll Fraud Solutions Helps Organizations Find and Fix Data Security Vulnerabilities

New Kroll Security Risk Assessment enables organizations to measure current levels of data protection and address unacceptable exposure with ease and minimal internal resource requirements  

Identity theft experts at Kroll Fraud Solutions have upgraded their comprehensive Security Risk Assessment to help impacted organizations identify existing data risk hot spots and determine how well-protected the exposures are at current security levels.

The Security Risk Assessment features improved usability, increased scope of analysis, and next steps to better help organizations ensure that existing safeguards are keeping pace with the evolution of data breach types, be they targeted or accidental forms of data loss and exposure.

Kroll’s upgraded Security Risk Assessment features:


  • A series of 38 detailed questions that cover 12 risk “domains,” which consist of areas such as administrative, technical and physical security. The questionnaire is completed by the organization and returned to Kroll for scoring.
  • A proprietary algorithm executed by Kroll that calculates organizational risk based on the organization’s specific responses.
  • A scored report for the organization, accompanied by a focused set of recommendations unique to the organization’s situation.
With this upgrade, organizations will be able to pinpoint specific data security risks and use industry-leading recommendations to strengthen security in areas that pose the greatest threat to their enterprise. This assessment is part of Kroll’s multi-faceted breach preparedness program.

WHEN -- Starting today, a demonstration of the new Kroll Security Risk Assessment will be available on the Kroll Fraud Solutions Web site.
