To protect your organization (and ours!) we clearly communicate these advisory limitations:

• No Direct Operational Responsibility
  We clearly communicate we are advisory only; all hands-on technical and operational execution remains your responsibility outside of what is covered in the uConnect Complete Service Level Agreement.
• No Legal Attestations
  We strictly advise compliance readiness, but do not formally attest or certify compliance documents on behalf of a company.
• No Direct Incident Handling
  We advise on incident response preparedness but do not directly handle live incident response or forensic activities, outside of what is covered in the uConnect SLA. IR and forensics is typically handled by organizations partnered with and chosen by your Cyber Insurance Provider.
• No Direct Vendor or Employee Management
  We provide strategic advice without assuming management duties over third-party vendors or your internal teams.
