Client Relationships

Insurance Brokers / Providers

A key relationship for mitigating risk for our clients is tied to the specialized insurance brokers and wholesalers.  For cybersecurity insurance and ransomware policies if they are separate for a provider, we package an objective response to submittals for underwriting leveraging a multitude of compliance frameworks.  To gain an understanding on how we assess risks through our readiness assessments please review our Cybersecurity Readiness Assessment services in the link below.

Private Equity / Venture Capital

Kriger USA’s team of cybersecurity and related specialists are more appropriately categorized as risk managers.  For investors, knowing the risks against a dollar invested before an investment is made and going forward is everything.  Rather than assume anything or take a seller by their word, we objectively assess their environment to include review of all software, hardware and the staff utilizing the systems.  Further, we review the relationships and connections to the data to ensure external factors are not contributing to higher risks.

To gain a further understanding of the services we provide, you can explore the link below that describes our pre/post-M&A services.

Public Accountants

Supporting clients is extremely challenging for public accountants as they are constrained by their risk committees and simply by how their business is intertwined.  Development is in most cases off the table and compliance outside of SOC2 and certain cybersecurity frameworks is simply outside of their realm.  That’s where Kriger USA comes into play.  We have working relationships with public accounting firms to perform readiness assessments, remediate and to support clients going forward in a multitude of compliance frameworks.  Extending beyond cybersecurity, we provide guidance to support capital expenditures for software, hardware and related training without carrying the overhead internally for high-level IT staff.

Managed Service Provider (MSP)

At Kriger USA, we’re consultants and advisors.  We’re not the day-to-day IT staff at our clients.  We function as subject-matter experts in our respective areas.  With an IT staff member or team or in tandem with an MSP, we provide a very effective 1-2 punch to tackle compliance challenges and other facets that extend beyond day-to-day IT tasks.

We are strong teaming partners with MSP’s with full-time staff in addition to regional and specialized staff members.

Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)

At Kriger USA, we’re fortunate in our in-depth understanding of cybersecurity as seasoned professionals from both tier-1 commercial entities and the U.S. intelligence community.  Many of our clients simply do not have the in-house expertise to manage their IT risk and combat external and even internal vulnerabilities.

That’s where the MSSP comes in.  We team with MSSP across the United States, depending on the need of our clients, to protect the client’s assets and critical infrastructure.  Whether our client needs a blue team handling day-to-day security monitoring, a red team for ethical hacking or desires a complete solution with a Security Operation Center (SOC), we can assist.
