Each time data security expert Jim Van Dyke concluded his work on a data breach lawsuit, he couldn’t shake the feeling there was even greater use for his research. An expert witness in nearly 20 high-profile legal cases, Van Dyke developed an algorithm to offer detailed and unbiased analysis of data breaches to lawyers, judges and juries, according to the official announcement.
The patent-pending algorithm underpinning the Breach Clarity Score analyses 1,188 data points to assess the specific risks stemming from a breach. The tool then recommends actions to mitigate the unique risks of each breach. New data points are added as Breach Clarity’s proprietary research, knowledge base and thus partner network expands. The interface runs on a comprehensive source of data breaches in the US, maintained and updated continuously by the Identity Theft Resource Center.
