This is the valuation of Trade Secret Assets prior to quoting and binding the insurance by an objective third-party expert. The vast majority of companies do not know what the value of their trade secret assets are. These assets may represent much more value to the company than their tangible assets and may be more valuable than the company’s patent portfolio.
This valuation is provided by one of our approved qualified consulting firms, an independent third party necessary in order to a) maintain impartiality and b) provide for defensible accounting position for financial reporting, lending purposes and to support litigation and enforcement efforts following a loss.
-
An assessment of the security posture around those critical assets provided through the underwriting questionnaire and threat analysis of the applicant.
-
A blockchain backed software platform called Trade Secret Examiner (TSE) that will provide automated TSAM (trade secret asset management). Those companies that have not yet identified and classified their perceived trade secret assets may need to begin the underwriting process with this step instead of the valuation process.
The TSE assists in identifying and indexing a company’s TSAs based on how well they score in defensibility of their trade secret protection, using current case law enforcement parameters as the scoring mechanism. Schedule an appointment with us to help you decide where to start!
-
A web (and Dark web) security monitoring service using sophisticated AI tools to scour the web for early detection that a covered trade secret asset is exfiltrated from the company.
