Services performed by the Crosslin IT team include:

Information Security and Risk Management

A third party review of policy, procedures and the IT security environment to avoid accidental and intentional data loss or damage. This service helps identify and mitigate risk involved in storing sensitive data. We have performed numerous Sarbanes-Oxley 404 and SAS 70 engagements and internal control.

Compliance Management

Procedures to provide assurance that your IT organization is compliant with industry standards such as Sarbanes Oxley 404, HIPAA, PCI, Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) or Red Flag requirements. Corporate responsibility includes procedures to protect all personal data it manages, including educating its employees on the organization's program to safeguard this information.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing is a method for your company to understand your IT system weaknesses and strengths in the same way a hacker, disgruntled employee, virus or worm would view your system. Our team will uncover vulnerabilities and mis-configurations that may otherwise go undetected until after an incident. Crosslin & Associates also can perform annual penetration testing as required for PCI DSS Sec 11.3.1 (any company that holds credit card data.).

IT Project Management and IT Accounting Support

Our Information Technology team has managed IT projects with a focus on IT Security and Accounting and Financial Reporting applications for large, mid-size and small companies. Crosslin has a unique approach to projects of this nature. Our IT team may consist of a software specialist, a technical project manager and a CPA. The size of the team depends on your needs, but the resources are always there. Key activities of an IT project could include analysis of your current IT environment and future needs; advice and assistance in planning and purchasing hardware, software and operating systems; assistance with installation and configuration; or training your key non-IT professionals how to put your technology solutions to work. The team will guide you through the project tailored for your organization.
