Tiversa Solutions

Our personal solution would:

Identify DOT and National Archive documents exposed on P2P network before others could locate and download files containing personally identifiable information

Provide
electronic copies of documents to DOT to gauge their risk and exposure

Locate
the CPO by name so that DOT could have quickly removed the information from P2P file sharing network. Identify how many times the disclosed documents have been replicated across the P2P, where the content is located, and who has the documents

Develop
a written P2P Forensic Case of the disclosure guiding short-term remediation tactics and long-term remediation strategies to prevent future disclosures

Measure the ongoing effectiveness of short-term tactics and long-term strategies focused on P2P disclosure risk management
