A Hoy & Associates

A data breach is described as an incident in which sensitive or confidential information has been viewed, captured, or stolen by an unauthorized individual. In 2016, there were 1,093 data breach incidents reported from various sectors within the United States (Identity Theft Resource Center). After a breach occurs, businesses can suffer from a variety of factors including damage to public reputation and trust, financial loss or data loss, and regulatory action, all which make it difficult to recover. In fact, 60% of small businesses will go out of business after a data breach occurs. No company wants to fall victim to data breach, which is why it is important for security professionals to take the necessary steps to ensure the vitality of their business. While A.Hoy & Associates can help small and large businesses take preventative measures to develop an appropriate data breach response plan, more importantly we can work with you post data breach in getting you engaged with a data breach coach and assisting you in finding the right tools and policies and procedures to remediate the issues that created the initial breach.  We work with customers from various sectors including business, finance/banking, education, healthcare, and government.
