PDM Data Security Risk Assessment

The security of your PDM data infrastructure can make or break the future of your company. It is invaluable and provides the best look into the future that you can offer.

Data protection is nothing new, but EQUIVAQ’s COO, Tim Webb, believes that the data you put into PDM is just as valuable as the data you get out. It is your company’s, and your employee’s, unique output that generates product revenue. Something that cannot be replicated.

Doing business in the digital age has an inherent hazard. That inherent hazard includes but is not limited to data breach, system downtime, limited user access, etc. By providing an in depth risk assessment, you can mitigate the risk of data loss and production downtime, similar to keeping paper documents in fireproof safes, or installing sprinkler systems in your office space.

EQUIVAQ’s PDM Relative Risk Model (RRM) will help give you an outside perspective on what you should be aware of going forward in order to best mitigate your risk. Our assessment is backed by years of industry experience, including but not limited to risk management and asset protection while working at BizJet (A member of Lufthansa Technik), Mid-America Pipeline Co (MAPCO), ConocoPhillips, for DARPA, and working alongside Vermeer and other companies supported by EQUIVAQ.

There are several kinds of risk assessment, they are all rooted in qualitative (hazard, data breach, likelihood that a vulnerability could impact you) and quantitative (financial loss to the company) risks.

The EQUIVAQ Risk Mitigation Plan is part of the RRM. This includes the EQUIVAQ Risk Management Plan (RMP).
