Email & Access Control
Increase Email Security
Deploy anti-phishing software to protect against email threats.
Email is the #1 entry point for attackers. Phishing emails trick employees into revealing credentials or downloading malware, leading to costly data breaches and ransomware attacks.
We deploy advanced anti-phishing software that detects and blocks sophisticated phishing attempts, malicious links, and suspicious attachments before they reach your team's inboxes.
Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Enforce MFA for email, remote access, and critical apps.
Passwords alone are no longer sufficient. Insurers require MFA because it stops 99.9% of automated account compromise attacks. Without it, a single stolen password can compromise your entire firm's security.
VeritSpace has built-in MFA for all user logins. For VeritGuard clients, we enforce MFA across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and VPN connections to ensure every access point is verified.
Enable Secure Remote Access
No open RDP ports; use VPNs or secure gateways.
Exposing Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) directly to the internet is like leaving your front door open. It is a primary vector for ransomware. Insurers will deny coverage if RDP is exposed.
Verito never exposes open RDP ports. VeritSpace uses a secure, encrypted gateway for access. VeritGuard configures secure VPNs with MFA for any necessary remote connections.
Use a Password Manager
Eliminate weak or reused passwords across the firm.
Employees reusing passwords across personal and business accounts creates a massive risk. Password managers ensure unique, complex credentials for every service.
We recommend and help deploy enterprise-grade password managers. We also enforce complexity policies on all Verito-managed user accounts.
Data Protection
Maintain Full Data Backups
Keep encrypted, off-site backups tested for recovery.
In a ransomware attack, backups are your only leverage. Insurers mandate off-site, immutable backups to ensure you can recover without paying a ransom.
We perform automated daily backups with AES-256 encryption. Our backups are stored in redundant, off-site data centers and are regularly tested to guarantee a swift recovery.
Encrypt Your Data
Encryption at rest and in transit for all sensitive info.
If a device is stolen or a network breached, encryption ensures the data remains unreadable to the thief, preventing a reportable data breach.
All data stored in VeritSpace is encrypted at rest and in transit. For local devices under VeritGuard, we manage BitLocker drive encryption to protect against physical theft.
Update Software Regularly
Automated patch management for OS and applications.
Unpatched software contains vulnerabilities that hackers exploit. Insurers want proof that you have a system in place to apply critical security updates within days of their release.
We handle patch management for you. Whether it's your local Windows OS with VeritGuard or the entire environment in VeritSpace, we ensure critical updates are applied automatically.
Monitoring & Response
Scan for Malicious Software
Deploy Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools.
Traditional antivirus is outdated. Insurers require EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) which uses AI to detect behavioral anomalies and stop zero-day threats.
VeritGuard includes advanced EDR agents on all workstations. We monitor for threats 24/7 and can isolate infected machines instantly to prevent spread.
Security Awareness Training
Train employees to spot phishing and social engineering.
Human error is the leading cause of breaches. Insurers require ongoing training and phishing simulations to demonstrate you are actively reducing this risk.
VeritGuard provides continuous security awareness training and phish testing campaigns to keep your team sharp and compliant.
Incident Response Plan
Have a WISP and response procedures in place.
When an attack happens, speed matters. Insurers want to know you have a written plan (WISP) and a team ready to respond immediately.
We assist in creating your Written Information Security Plan (WISP) and act as your 24/7 incident response team, ready to mitigate any threat immediately.
Don't just check the box.
