Data handling services
Our belief is that decisions are best made when supported by data, valuable operational data, so as a result over time our data handling tools were developed. This development was often a way to support our advisory work, to prove our reasoning and explain our advice. However, the tools have come to a point where they are stand-alone data handling tools for security checkpoints; ranging from analysis to design and compliancy.
