Information Security Expert Kevin Beaver

“I have known and worked with Kevin for nearly 20 years as a client at a number of companies. In every engagement, Kevin has delivered value over and above what was expected. I’ve worked with Kevin on HIPAA, general security scans, application pen testing, SOC 2 compliance issues, and a lot of other security concerns. In every case, Kevin has acted as a trusted advisor. He always looks out for his clients best interests first. Kevin is unique in the industry in his ability to approach security from a practical angle. He’s very good at educating both technical and non-technical users about security issues and best practices. I’ve personally benefited greatly from his advice on secure software development approaches. Regardless of company size, if you have information security needs, I highly recommend that you get in touch with Kevin.”

“It’s not often that you get to work with somebody who wrote the book on it. I’ve worked with Kevin to assess and help secure my customers’ networks for the past few years and I’ve read several of his books. His approach to security and methodology in vulnerability and penetration testing is the most comprehensive I’ve seen, and the reports are always straightforward and judgment-free. The customers he’s helped have become repeat customers and my team looks forward to his findings because Kevin works with us to help secure their entire environments. Kevin is who I call when I need help securing my customer’s network and, simply put, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.”

He is personable, easy to work with, detail oriented, punctual, and produces results in full in accordance with project expectations. There are no surprises when working with him. I recommend him without reservation, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.”

Healthcare Cloud Service Provider

“Our organization had never undertaken a formal security assessment in the past. We partnered with Principle Logic and Kevin Beaver on the recommendation of several of our sister organizations. Kevin did not disappoint. His knowledge of the current landscape of cyber threats was considerable. He was easy to work with, and made the process very smooth with the questions he asked leading up to the start of the assessment. He communicated the status of the assessment at every step in the process. Once complete, the findings and his deliverables were thorough. He was available to explain any items that we were not familiar with. We will definitely partner with Principle Logic and Kevin again next year for our assessment.”

State Municipal Association

“We have worked with Kevin Beaver over the years and value his skills and abilities in protecting important digital assets and his ability to communicate with both technical teams and business leaders. One successful project was his reviewing and testing a new Internet-facing payment processing service on our e-commerce site, which will eventually be responsible for processing billions of dollars in revenue annually. Another example of a successful project was for him to evaluate the security of an IoT type device that our customers purchase from us and recommend solutions for the risks he uncovered. This led to a better product in our portfolio. We appreciate Kevin’s professionalism and flexibility in very demanding circumstances.”

“Our organization received an email from an individual providing documented proof that he had successfully compromised the database that supports one of our legacy Web-based applications. We reached out to Principle Logic to seek advice on how to respond to this email. To his enormous credit, Kevin responded urgently, advised us on the likely intent of this hacker, and quickly conducted a thorough security assessment to help identify the vulnerability that led to this attack. The resulting reports provided the information we needed to determine how best to mitigate any potential loss and prevent future such attacks. We’re enormously grateful to Kevin for immediately making himself available and generously offering his time and expertise. Needless to say, we would highly recommend Principle Logic to any organization.”

E-Commerce/Cloud Services Provider

“We hired Principle Logic to perform an application vulnerability assessment on the advice of a trusted expert in the field. We’d been using a well-known provider for the past few years, but had been having difficulty with everything from booking to obtaining follow-up, and costs had been escalating. Working with Kevin Beaver at Principle Logic has been a revelation. Booking and preparation for the test were simple, things happened as and when Kevin said they would, and the results have been excellent. As I told my colleagues, upon reading this year’s report, “the report is more readable than we’ve seen in the past, is shorter and better gets to the point, and even has all of the raw testing results in the attached .zip file. I like this provider!” The report came with clear directions to further information on the findings and their remediation. Our technology staff were immediately able to grasp nearly everything – except when we’d never heard of some of the latest vulnerabilities. And this is the entire point of such a test!”

Securities Compliance/Cloud Services Provider

“We originally contracted with Principle Logic for a review and audit of our network security. Kevin’s professionalism and knowledge was well received by both management and our IT staff. The assessment Kevin prepared was well written and valuable for us to make corrections where needed and to continue the best practices our IT team had already implemented. Since the initial contract, we have used Principle Logic for several other projects and for annual testing and system review.”

Global Heavy Equipment Manufacturer

“Kevin Beaver performed an IT security assessment for us. His approach was well thought out, organized and efficient. His report provided a prioritized list of vulnerabilities we are following up on that have already improved our technical security posture and reduced information security risks. Kevin is very knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and easy to work with. His work wasn’t connected to a product he wanted to sell us. That plus his overall professionalism gave him much credibility and avoided any possible conflicts of interest. I recommend him to anyone who needs an IT security assessment that is helpful and a great value.”

College

“Our experience working with Kevin Beaver regarding an information security review has been very impressive. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and engaging which has resulted in a comprehensive and highly valuable evaluation. His insights have benefited us as an organization to continually improve our security posture. We plan to work with Kevin on future security related initiatives.”

Online Job Search/Recruiting Site/Service Provider

“Kevin came highly recommended and I was very pleased with his work when performing a security risk assessment for our association. He made the entire process extremely easy and he was very thorough with his work. During the assessment, Kevin sent out several email phishing campaigns to our staff and they were the best I have seen so far in all the assessments performed for us by other vendors over the years. The reports he delivered were very informative and easy to understand with a lot of valuable detail. We plan to use his services again in the future.”

State Municipal Association

“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability/penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely. His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”

IT Managed Services Firm

“We were referred to Principle Logic for vulnerability/penetration testing for our external and internal networks. I contacted Kevin Beaver about this process and we agreed to have him do this testing. His testing was not disruptive to our networks and he kept me updated on his progress. We received a management report of external and internal vulnerabilities, along with the very substantial results of the various tools he used, about a month after the start of the testing.

Kevin was very considerate of my time during this process and very open to questions and discussions about the process and the results. He provided insight and suggestions for resolving the issues identified. He was also very patient with us as we worked through the issues before scheduling the external retest. The retest was conducted promptly after we notified him we were ready, and a new report was provided showing what was corrected and any lingering issues.

After this testing process, I have utilized Kevin as a resource for several security related issues and he has always been willing to help with questions, and also provided an additional review of our email server after some questions were identified. I would recommend Principle Logic and Kevin Beaver as a resource for network security testing and for general security related issues.”

“Kevin helped me with a security penetration test when I ran security at {company name redacted}. He did a very thorough job, explained all of the findings and delivered an excellent and professional report, all at a great price. I would definitely recommend using him and his company again!”

Enterprise Networking Product Vendor

“It is a privilege to work with Kevin Beaver. We’ve worked together for years and I would not choose anyone else to aid in making sure our applications are secure. Kevin is knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Kevin knows and hones his craft. He not only identifies problems but is an ally when dealing with customer or partner issues. I feel confident going into a security discussion because Kevin has provided timely feedback or was willing to be on the client call. Though extremely knowledgeable and competent, Kevin is never arrogant. He explains complex issues in a way that I come back informed and with my dignity. Kevin is a critical and valued resource.”

E-Commerce/Software Development/Cloud Services Provider

“We are very satisfied with the Network Security Assessment received from Kevin Beaver. Kevin performed a complete assessment on our school’s network and provided valuable information regarding our network security. Kevin is great to work with and I highly recommend his company Principle Logic to any organization looking to improve security.”

Private K-12 school

“Our company offers an internet-based technology service to the financial industry, an industry that demands a very high standard for securing its data. Over the last several years, Kevin has helped us develop and implement a strategy for providing that high level of security. While his technical expertise is quite thorough, I believe his biggest asset to our company is the ability to translate that expertise into practical, real world applications.”

E-Commerce/Software Development/Cloud Services Provider

“I am extremely satisfied with the Information Security Assessment we received from Principle Logic. Kevin Beaver proved to be extremely easy to work with, flexed to accommodate our intense internal workload, and provided valuable information regarding the security of our network. We were able to use that information to remediate the findings to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Principle Logic to any company looking to get a down-to-earth, useful report on today’s real security threats and their ability to withstand the never-ending penetration attempts.”

Real Estate Investment Trust

“We’ve been contracting with Kevin for application security testing services for several years and we’re honored to recommend his services. Kevin partners with us to supplement/complement a key deficiency in our staff skills. During that time he has proven on numerous occasions to be of great value to our efforts. The most important benefit that we have obtained by working with Kevin is a happy client. We are totally confident that whatever deliverable we give to Kevin that it will come back to us on time, within budget, and with his recommendations communicated clearly and concisely. We have never received anything less than professional and superior results. We’re proud to have the opportunity to work with Kevin in this field. We count on him as a trusted advisor, a key team member, and most of all, a close friend. I would welcome any opportunity to discuss specific examples of where he has made our team more competitive, fun, and successful.”

IT/Security Systems Integration and Consulting

“We are a small business and until an independent Web security review was required by a major prospect we hadn’t considered contracting with a third party for this type of project. Kevin’s ability to quickly understand our needs, meet our stringent project timeline, effectively communicate the results and provide guidance during the implementation of the needed changes in our application were invaluable. We were pleased with Kevin’s value proposition and excellent service and will be utilizing his firm to complete regularly scheduled scans going forward. We would certainly recommend Principle Logic’s Web security assessments to other companies with similar needs.”

Internet/E-Commerce/Software Development

“We engaged Kevin to conduct a security assessment of our IT operations. He was recommended to us, but nonetheless we went through a thorough RFP process and in the end we felt Kevin was the best fit in terms of approach, technical expertise and price. Shortly before our pre-determined start date, we had a tragic event that affected the entire Agency. Kevin immediately understood the position we were in and proposed a work around solution. Once the security assessment began, he was clear on his expectations of us and was prompt on his deliverables. We found Kevin to be evenhanded and a good source of information. As he pointed out our shortcomings, he explained why they were potential issues for us. Overall, we were pleased with process and product and will seek to work with Kevin again.”

Non-Profit Healthcare Services

“Kevin performed a security analysis for our CPA firm. We needed someone with first class credentials and experience who could provide an analysis in a format that was meaningful to us so we could act on it as appropriate. He did exactly what he said he would do and we were very pleased with the format of the results and his explanations. We would not hesitate to call Kevin again.”

Accounting

“When our audit and IT teams first interviewed Kevin in regards to conducting our bank’s annual network assessment, each of us immediately knew that he was a fit for our environment. Not only does he understand what is necessary for a strong and secure environment, he is ready and able to recommend workable solutions. We were very happy that we worked directly with Kevin through out the entire process.”

Banking

“Our financial services company had a need for Web server penetration testing and help preparing for a security audit from a prospective client. Kevin came highly recommended so we contracted him to help us. We had to examine many levels of security including server configuration, firewalls, routers, policies, procedures, business continuity, and legal. He was very thorough and knowledgeable in the audit areas and with regard to the various security tests he performed. None of my numerous questions went unanswered. I would recommend Kevin and Principle Logic to anyone who is concerned about protecting their network.”

Financial Services

“When we needed to do a security audit, Kevin seemed like the logical choice. He clearly communicated the process so we knew exactly what to expect. Kevin used the latest professional-grade security tools to give us an accurate assessment of our firm. Not only did we get an informative and easy to understand report, but also a recommended plan to correct the issues found. If you are looking to do a security audit we would definitely recommend Kevin!”

Banking

“We engaged Kevin Beaver of Principle Logic to assist us with a current-state assessment of the cybersecurity posture of our 911 Communications Center. An important part of our success hinges on pro-active cybersecurity due diligence. Nowhere is this more critical than in a 911 center responsible for processing life and death calls with zero allowable down time. We had one main requirement for this security assessment project – absolutely NO disruption of our live 911 service would be acceptable. Kevin performed flawlessly for us – scouring our networks for both common and emerging security vulnerabilities and weaknesses – without exposing our systems to additional risk or loss of service! Even the most expensive cars need regular maintenance by a professional who knows exactly what to look for under the hood. If you’re in charge of your technology I highly recommend Kevin as a trusted and knowledgeable partner. Whether you ignore your vulnerabilities and take your chances
or address them head on, the risk is still your responsibility. Many have said, “I didn’t think it could happen to us, we’re not big enough.” Swallow your pride. Put a fresh set of eyes on your environment and call Principle Logic today. You’ll be glad you did. Thanks Kevin, great service for a great price, we;ll be back again! ”

Critical Infrastructure

“Kevin Beaver continues to be a consummate security professional. I have had the pleasure and good fortune to work with Kevin over the years, in different circumstances. First, I have read his works and books and continue to be impressed by his understanding of cyber-security; second, we have shared the podium as speakers at some of the premier speaking events here in the U.S. and he has never disappointed the audience with his thoughts, real-world experience and candor; third, I am proud to call him a colleague and valuable resource in our profession.”

Higher Education

“Kevin Beaver is a true information security assessment professional. He seeks not just to help his customers identify vulnerabilities, but also to better understand the interrelation of discovered issues to their organization’s core business and mission. In my experiences with Kevin, he has also proven to be an expert communicator who can explicate information security issues at a technical and executive level with equal ease. I recommend Kevin to anyone who is looking for trustworthy partner who is easy to work with, and who can provide a security assessment product that is both valuable and actionable on day one.”

Higher Education

“I was impressed with Kevin’s knowledge and the formidable toolset he brought onsite, but equally impressed with his ability to set priorities for our fund-strapped organization. Because he’s an independent expert, he didn’t try to sell us on the latest security products, but rather, guided us through products that could indeed be helpful, as well as the basics that we needed to take care of to greatly reduce our risks.”

Municipality

“Kevin was very thorough conducting our IT Risk Assessment. He spent a good deal of time interviewing end users as well as scanning and analyzing our systems. His final report was clear, easy to understand, and complete.”

Higher Education

“We hired Kevin Beaver to write two whitepapers for our company. Kevin was able to leverage his knowledge of the security industry and his information security career to deliver both insightful and well-received content. Kevin’s passion for his work and in-depth research has helped our organization receive tremendous recognition. Kevin has been a pleasure to work with and delivers quality work. I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for an impactful information security expert!”

Information Security Product Vendor

“I’ve hired Kevin Beaver to perform an security assessment as well as for his network analysis expertise to help troubleshoot Internet bandwidth issues we were having. In both cases he was very easy to work with and had the right tools and experience to uncover issues we likely wouldn’t have found otherwise. Kevin provides high quality services without the hassles often experienced when dealing with larger service organizations and would recommend him to anyone organization looking for an independent information security expert.”

Municipality

“When our company wanted to formalize and update our security, we interviewed several national firms. None of these firms offered the right combination of services, customization, and price to meet our needs. When doing research, we stumbled upon an article written by Kevin which provided accurate, down to earth advice for dealing with the issue at hand. We soon contracted with Kevin to provide our security auditing and documentation. Kevin has the rare combination of talent, experience, and flexibility which provided us with a pain-free implementation of security practices.”

Internet/E-Commerce/Software Development

“Kevin Beaver was hired by my organization to perform a security audit on our network. We have a little over 700 computers and servers spread across 14 geographic locations that serve a county of 800,000. Kevin worked closely with our IT staff in preparing for the audit, explaining everything that we could expect to see while he was testing our network. He worked onsite for several days while conducting the audit and kept management apprised of immediate concerns. Kevin’s findings were delivered in a professional yet concerned manner. He led the IT management staff through an online presentation where he reviewed his findings and offered prioritized recommendations regarding security improvements. I appreciated Kevin’s personable yet professional approach, and I especially appreciated his ability to explain complicated network issues in a simple-to-understand manner that everyone on my staff could learn from. Kevin’s attention to detail and friendly presentation style
is a rare combination in an industry that more commonly sees monotonous and overly-complex reports delivered in a dry and impersonal manner. Kevin’s findings were accurate without being dramatic. It’s far too easy in the area of network security to find consultants who simply want to scare everyone into believing that our networks are permeated with weaknesses that only tons of money and long hours of consulting can repair. Kevin’s findings were honest and without unnecessary exaggeration. I would strongly recommend his services.”

County Library System

“We have just completed a round of pen testing and remediation working with Kevin Beaver at Principle Logic. Kevin had been recommended to us and had excellent credentials, so we included him as we gathered bids for this service. Kevin’s pricing was very competitive. We have a complex environment that includes Windows and Linux systems operating in a multi-tiered infrastructure. Kevin was easy to communicate with and came to understand our environment quickly. He was responsive and accommodating to our tight schedule. Kevin helped us to understand the issues and recommended the best course for dealing with them. We will hire Kevin again, and recommend him highly.”

Internet/E-Commerce/Software Development

“Our business provides a website content management, payment processing, and hosting platform for our customer websites in municipal government. As with any industry, a robust secure system is important. As a part of our last release cycle, we wanted a comprehensive and invasive assessment of the system. We researched possible IT security companies and selected Kevin Beaver of Principle Logic to perform a security assessment and penetration test because of his strong expertise in this field. We were very impressed. Kevin worked with us on scheduling, dove deeply into and aggressively across all tiers of the system with multiple tools and consultant reviews, and then walked our IT and development team through the aspects that really mattered. There’s no doubt that Kevin’s expertise resulted in a stronger product release.”

Internet/E-Commerce/Software Development

“As a provider of software that processes and stores sensitive information protected by various privacy and security regulations, we needed to hire an independent expert to analyze our application to uncover software flaws and security vulnerabilities. After interviewing companies to use for this assessment, we settled on Kevin Beaver based on his experience, knowledge, and understanding of both the technical and the business end of Internet business operations. Kevin’s tests and report were informative and detailed, yet easy to understand. He also provided a follow-up validation assessment that we can share with our customers showing that any issues discovered were fixed. We also benefited from Kevin’s large network of IT professionals that were a great knowledge base when reconciling potential vulnerabilities. Kevin will be our choice for performing application security assessments in the future.”

Internet/E-Commerce/Software Development

“Among the things we most appreciated about working with Kevin was his practical, down-to-earth approach. Kevin was able to provide practical recommendations for each issue identified. We appreciated Kevin’s thorough follow-up via his well-written report and willingness to answer questions on an ongoing basis.”

Internet/E-Commerce/Software Development

“Kevin is your man – excellent security background and most excellent to work with. We used Kevin extensively for subcontract work to perform Web security assessments on our behalf. He is great with customers and quite thorough too! I only have positive things to say about him.”

IT/Security Systems Integration and Consulting

“Kevin’s security audit was an excellent way to check my work. He caught many things that I missed. Things that could have been major problems.While working with Kevin, his knowledge of security and computer systems in general impressed me a great deal, but more impressive was his ability to quickly adapt to my system and learn new tricks. He was able to change his entire system to connect to mine. Hackers would have done the same thing. No software tool could have done it – an audit needs to be performed by a person as skilled as Kevin. I learned a great deal about our network from Kevin’s audit. He found some major flaws in our ‘armor’ that I didn’t know how to fix. Kevin knew how to fix them, he worked with me personally and gave me a lot of new insight about how to prevent problems in the future. I was very skeptical of having a security audit done. I thought it was a waste of money because I thought our network was secure. When Kevin finished the audit, my eyes were
opened and I now realize what a great asset it is.”

IT/Security Systems Integration and Consulting

“I was extremely impressed by Kevin Beaver’s capability and knowledge in performing a security assessment of our e-commerce system. He performed a variety of tests and discovered vulnerabilities that we were unaware of. The report he provided me was a very thorough document that stepped through all verified and potential vulnerabilities and detailed where we were secure, and where we were not. What’s more, he took the time to explain in plain English what the problems meant, and how we should prioritize our efforts to fix the issues he discovered. I do plan to involve Kevin on future projects because he has proven himself to be a reliable and thorough security expert.”

Manufacturing

“A very competitive automotive manufacturing and engineering environment coupled with the ever increasing complexity and severity of security threats gave us great concern. Unfortunately we had no idea where to turn for a non-biased assessment; we had several of the big network/security vendors review our network but they always had a sales pitch on how to fix the problem; in fact they missed most of what Kevin found. Kevin provided us a non-biased assessment and saved us thousands of dollars in the process. We were provided a clear concise report which included an executive overview, a technical how-to repair section, and he even included information about what we can do to train ourselves for the future. We will definitely be calling upon Kevin’s services in the future as we continue to grow.”

Manufacturing

“Kevin brought the professionalism any business should expect from a 3rd party security consultancy, and he delivered on defined business requirements. I would work with him again.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“We ran a joint webinar with Kevin where he acted as both moderator and as one of two speakers. The event was a big success and much of that can be attributed to Kevin. His moderation skills were superb. His presentation was smooth, interesting and highly professional. Lastly, during the Q&A, Kevin engaged the audience which led to an interesting session and great questions being asked. I will be very glad to recommend Kevin’s services to anyone looking to run an offline / online event related to security. He’s a professional that pays attention to every small detail and is also a great guy who’s a pleasure to work with. I will definitely work with Kevin again.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“We hired Kevin on a subcontract basis to help out with a specific component of a security project. Kevin was available a short notice and his research and deliverables really added some credibility and experience for our client. The final report and presentation went fantastic! I’m grateful for all his help and great work and will never forget it. I look forward to reaching out to Kevin again on future projects.”

IT/Security Systems Integration and Consulting

“You’re always rolling the dice when you contract someone outside of your company to author some important documents or collateral. Kevin exceeded all of my expectations. He was extremely easy to work with, provided great value for the investment, asked all the needed questions to ensure he knew what we really needed, and was a quick study. We are extremely pleased with the work Kevin performed, and will happily engage him again.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“I was very pleased with the work that Kevin had done for us. We needed someone who had expert knowledge of HIPAA compliance and network security. He was very professional and extremely prompt in all aspects of the project.”

Internet/E-Commerce/Software Development

“As a security vendor, we are always challenged with producing good content for the security community. It’s pretty rare to find someone that has both the required security practitioner background and the ability to write thoughtful, practical and well-articulated content. Kevin has both (in addition to being a great guy!) The result – an excellent whitepaper written in a short timeframe which really resonated with the target audience.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“We commissioned Kevin to write a vendor-neutral whitepaper and record a podcast for use in our product marketing. Kevin was not only easy to work with but he was flexible in his approach and open to input and feedback from our staff. His deliverables were professional and well put together and also made it clear that our investment was worthwhile. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kevin’s services to anyone looking to beef up their IT/security product or service marketing efforts.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“I’ve leveraged Kevin on several speaking and writing projects for our security clients. He was very strategic in providing insight on how to best approach the topics we recommended, taking the time to understand our clients and collaborate with us on each project. His presentation materials and whitepapers were excellent and by far helped us accomplish our objectives.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“I’ve worked with Kevin on a number of joint marketing initiatives. He’s probably one of the best speakers who brings practical experience to the public speaking and educational seminars he does. His resume speaks for itself – if you want someone who knows IT Security inside-out, but someone who can also deliver real-life recommendations, Kevin’s a great choice for vendors, agencies and any working group looking for a top-notch presenter.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“Kevin has worked closely with us to deliver multiple webcast projects. He is easy to work with, possesses extensive knowledge and hands-on experience related to network and wireless security best practices, and is able to present that information in a clear, concise manner that benefits both business and technical audiences. We would not hesitate to work with him again on similar activities.”

Information Security Product Vendor

“Kevin Beaver is both knowledgeable and professional. He worked within our defined scope and delivered a clear report with prioritized and detailed recommendations to remedy the vulnerabilities he found. Kevin fit right into our environment and was very easy to work with throughout the project.”

Non-Profit Organization

“I am the director of a large nonprofit corporation which receives the vast majorities of its donations online. In 2007, our website was hacked and our ability to use our site and manage our large information database was completely disabled. It was then that we learned of Kevin Beaver and his wonderful company, Principle Logic. How I wish we would have utilized his services from day one of our company! The personal attention he delivered was top rate, and he identified many security issues for us to consider as we developed our new website. I know there are probably a lot of companies just like ours, who are so busy with their day to day work that they don’t have time to consider every vulnerability that they face online. However, when a security breach occurs, then it becomes the single most critical issue to a company, and you realize immediately how essential a solid security plan is for your professional applications. Having Kevin involved in our security planning
has given me a peace of mind that our company’s information is now safe. If you are serious about security for both your company and your site visitors, then Principle Logic is absolutely the company to trust.”

Non-Profit Organization

“Kevin has performed several security consulting engagements for us and has always delivered high quality, timely results. He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of security and has provided a great deal of insight and professionalism to our organization.”

Non-Profit Organization

“Reliable, Realistic, Reassuring. At the recommendation of our auditors, we contracted with Principle Logic to assess our network security. Obviously, we believed we had taken the necessary steps to ensure that our network was secure from potential threats (from inside and outside the organization) and such a review would be a perfunctory confirmation of such. To the contrary, through Kevin’s methodical and thorough testing, we gained incredible insight about our network as well as our policies and our procedures. Kevin took the time to not only evaluate our hardware and software using some very sophisticated tools, but also to learn about our organization-how it operates, our core values and our operational strengths and weaknesses. Consequently, we received recommendations which were realistic and relevant to our situation. I should be able to receive continuing education credit for my time with Kevin during the review. Not only did I learn about the strengths and weaknesses
of our network but I also learned about trends in the industry and how some of the biggest breaches in security have occurred in cases where management “thought” adequate controls were in place. As we are now addressing our vulnerabilities, I have much greater confidence in the security of our network. And, since the “bad guys” continue to exploit, we are now planning to have Kevin conduct routine reviews in the future.”

Non-Profit Organization

“We hired Kevin to perform an independent security assessment of a Web application we’re currently using and considering rolling out on a more widespread basis. Kevin was very easy to work with, was professional, delivered on-time, and had a depth of knowledge and expertise that helped us with our needs. We would definitely use his services again in the future.”

Non-Profit Organization

“As a busy publisher with extremely tight deadlines, we struggle to find authors and technical editors that can maintain the necessary focus and pace to deliver quality content in a timely manner. In this environment, Kevin has not only been able to sustain a steady flow of exceptional writing and technical editing but has done so with a level of professionalism and accountability that is rare in our field. His technical feedback and writing are concise and thorough, and he is organized and responsive. In short, he has been a pleasure to work with for the past 7 years, and we look forward to many more.”

Publisher

“Our company relies heavily on government contracts and our overall physical, personnel and IT security status is a fundamental requirement and benefit for bidding and maintaining government accounts. We presented to Kevin Beaver the Federal Government’s NIST system security plan requirement and he was able to quickly understand and fulfill all the requirements. We are a small business and reliance on outsourcing for specialized requirements is a must. Thanks to Kevin’s work we were able to renew our security qualification in a few weeks and without any back and forth from the client. We are proud to be one of only a few companies with an approved Federal Government NIST C&A System Security Plan and knowing that we have Kevin to support us will certainly help us in future contracting opportunities.”
