  • Data Security

    It is important for organizations to safeguard their valuable data. Literally, data protection means the protection of data from unauthorized (accidental or intentional) modification, destruction, or disclosure.

    Until the early nineties, information hiding techniques had received very little attention from the research community and from industry, but today, data protection is major concern for everyone.

    Encryption has become a useful method of protecting data. Encryption works by enciphering and encoding data in order to change it from plain text into an unintelligible form. Encryption is the process of obscuring information to make it unreadable without special knowledge. Encryption can be used as a counter measure to combat unauthorized attempts to read sensitive files or to intercept confidential communications. Encryption can be a valuable tool in keeping confidential data safe, especially when used in conjunction with other tools to verify the integrity and authenticity of a message.

  • Independent Model Validation

    Utilities, financial institutions and banks are constantly upgrading their business processes to enhance their competitive advantages, synchronize to market changes, and adjust to meet regulatory requirements. With the proposed Basel II accord, the changes and upgrades to financial and banking institutions will only increase. These institutions will spend valuable resources to upgrade their quantitative models including risk models. These models are key features of many business processes. Once developed, companies are required to have independent validations performed on most of these models to address issues such as model risks. These risks include errors in logic, errors in programming, errors in execution, and errors in use. Independent model validation allows for enhancing the reliability of a model by identifying and addressing the model errors. The process of validation allows for improvements and clearer understanding of a model's strengths and weaknesses among management and user groups.

    Prescio brings its efficient experienced approaches to model validation. Our team of seasoned personnel with strong Quantitative, Statistical, Information Technology, and Finance professionals will thoroughly analyze all components of models including Logic, Input, Process, and Output to provide model validation that is reliable and independent of biases.
