The new in depth Vulnerability and Risk Assessment service introduced by SSC, Inc. (SSC), www.sscinvestigations.com protects companies and institutions from the multi-billion dollar cost of security breaches and ensures compliance with new governmental regulations. SSC's Vulnerability and Risk Assessment is created to help corporations comply with regulations and standards, including the Healthcare Information Privacy and Portability Act for health-care institutions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act for financial and banking institutions and the Sarbanes-Oxley act for publicly traded companies.

    Amit Gavish, SSC Senior Corporate Advisor for International Security Issues and a former Deputy Director of Security at the Office of the President of Israel, stated: "The problem with most vulnerability and risk assessments is that they are too narrowly-focused, leaving companies open to a host of security problems. A vulnerability and risk assessment service may be excellent at preventing cybercrime but fail to protect against physical threats. It might be focused on counterterrorism, but neglect internal threats. It's essential to have all the pieces in place for total protection."

Here are the process steps:

    * Provide breach scenarios to expose current vulnerability points.
    * Identify and categorize all threats that are applicable and credible to the specific environment.
    * Design security and emergency policies encompassing physical and technology elements, policies and procedures.
    * Refine policies and procedures with periodic reevaluations.
    * Provide action plan, implementation support and prevention. This includes a security solution report, implementation assistance and testing and practice against any identified threats.
    * Test policies and procedures from a worse-case scenario.

    The SSC Vulnerability and Assessment team includes specialists with an average of 25 years experience in workplace violence, IT and information security, and counterterrorism, which provides for a complete security solution. SSC's Vulnerability and Risk Assessment service will define the physical, electronic and employee security measures that offer the greatest benefits for overall effective security.SSC's Vulnerability and Risk Assessment is designed to help corporations comply with regulations and standards, including the Healthcare Information Privacy and Portability Act for health-care institutions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act for financial and banking institutions and the Sarbanes-Oxley act for publicly traded companies with a market cap of greater than $75 million.

    Even more, Gavish added: "Using our vast experience in military, law enforcement, federal agencies and security research, we're able to understand how an enemy thinks -- and how an organization could be hurt. This insures that no area is left vulnerable."
