Kirsch Group is very excited to partner with Canadian global background check provider Certn to help companies build, incorporate, and automate background checks into their HR processes as a part of their physical and information security program.
With Certn’s all-in-one platform conducing background checks that meet your requirements has never been easier.

If background checks are a requirement of a position, why ask the candidates to do it alone – losing control of the process, visibility of the outcome and potentially good employees along the way?

Virtual Private Networks (VPN)’s are an important cyber security tool for those who want to stay private and secure online. Many applications we use or website we visit track our activity. Mostly we are tracked to collect and sell our browsing data or to use it to try to target us with ads. Sometimes it can be for more nefarious purposes like hacking our devices and gaining access to our accounts.
A VPN provides you a secure and encrypted tunnel for your online traffic to flow to restrict this access to your data. This is especially important if you’re using public wifi, if want to keep your browsing history private or are accessing personal or sensitive files. It is also extremely useful if you’re travelling out of the country and want to get access to your (or your kids) home Netflix library.
There are many VPN providers but this is the one that I use and am proud to represent as an affiliate.

One of the best ways to keep safe online is to use unique and complex passwords for all of your accounts. This is especially true for accounts with sensitive or personal information including social media, banking, online shopping, personal email, corporate logins, and government accounts
One of the best ways to keep safe online is to use unique and complex passwords for all of your accounts. This is especially true for accounts with sensitive or personal information including social media, banking, online shopping, personal email, corporate logins, and government accounts.
This is important because unfortunately account hacks and password leaks happen all the time. If criminals are able to use leaked credentials to break into multiple accounts the results can be severe including; identity theft, fraud, and cyber stalking. Worse, your accounts could be used to target the most vulnerable people connected to you online through facebook or email scams.
The challenge of course is that we all have a lot of accounts! Well the way that I keep track is with a password manager. I store all of my accounts in one secure place. I don’t have to worry about forgetting any passwords or writing them down on post it notes or storing them in a note on my phone. I personally find this easier to manage with the benefit of being more secure.
There are lots of good password managers out there of various costs and services. If you have one you like that’s great. 1Password is the one that I use and am proud to be an affiliate. You can click the “Try1Password for Free” and see if it’s right for you.

Our smartphones have increasingly become the means by which we engage with the world - scrolling social media, staying connected with work and friends through email and messaging apps. All of these connectivity points create cyber security vulnerabilities that are increasingly targeted by phishing attacks and malware
Our smartphones have increasingly become the means by which we engage with the world - scrolling social media, staying connected with work and friends through email and messaging apps as well as other online services such as shopping and banking. All of these connectivity points create cyber security vulnerabilities that are increasingly targeted by phishing attacks and malware. And the reality is, if our phones get attacked everything we do on them or connect to them is threatened.
If you have a corporate device, you’re in luck. There is someone looking out for your security. If you don’t, then you’re on your own against increasing sophisticated criminals and hackers.
I have recently started using Lookout on my phone. I get alerts if something weird is happening and remediation steps if it detects anomalies in real time. This isn’t a perfect solution. We all still need to be vigilant and not click strange links or accept social media requests from people we don’t know. Still, having a little extra security on my phone does give me some peace of mind that there is someone looking out for me.
There are many providers so if you have one you like that’s great. And if you just want to use a password manager and VPN that can help too. But if you want a little extra protection - this is something that I’m trying out and so far so good. You can click the link and see if it’s right for you.
