For municipalities, CzarTek also provide CJIS [Criminal Justice Information Systems] compliance services. The CzarTek team includes security engineers and GRC consultants / auditors. They provide security controls testing [pen testing, etc.] and compliance services [ISO 27001/2 Certification Readiness Assessments, etc.]. Prior to CzarTek, Anthony led the security practice at Savid Technologies for five years. Mr. Czarnik recently completed a course on Cyber Law at John Marshall Law School. His thesis addressed the legal risk associated with information systems and sensitive data, including the effect of a data breach. The geographical scope comprehensively covered global personal information including government jurisdiction internationally down through each U.S. state. Data breach notifications, regulatory non-compliance fines and legal requirements for court admissible forensics evidence were also addressed. Anthony’s unique blend of education, experience, insight, professionalism [balanced with a dark side] makes him a natural fit for the THOTCON stage.
