One-of-a-Kind Service Offerings:
- Ransomware Negotiation Services offering – This comprehensive package of services is for assessing and responding to ransomware attacks, including negotiations with threat actors. It includes expert negotiators who have extensive experience resolving ransomware attacks, and provides comprehensive services for evaluating and confirming attacks, and conducting post-attack remediation activities. Due to the increased number of ransomware attacks, GroupSense created a ransomware hotline number (1-800-408-5708) for victims to quickly reach its experts directly.
- Election Threat Protection offering – Tailored for state and city governments, and currently used by two of the largest non-federal governments in the U.S., this package of services includes a readiness assessment, pre-election preparations, and cyber threat monitoring both during and after an election. This approach to election security protects city and state governments and their citizens from cyberattacks on voting technology, mis/disinformation campaigns, ransomware attacks, hacktivism, physical threats and other crimes.
Strategic Technology Alliances and Partnerships – GroupSense and Grant Thornton formed a partnership to provide Grant Thornton’s clients with a powerful, tailored solution for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in their digital environments. In addition, GroupSense formed a strategic alliance with Cybraics to provide enterprises with an unparalleled end-to-end security-as-a-service offering to prevent and remediate cyberattacks. The company also added six other partners, helping to expand its portfolio of cybersecurity services.
Patented Technology for Data Theft Detection – The company was issued a U.S. patent for detecting and remedying theft of data. With the patent, GroupSense is able to increase the efficiency of its theft-detection process using a combination of its TraceLight technology and human reconnaissance, and offer greater privacy control for clients.
