A search about security software on the internet will yield information about database security, computer network security, antivirus software, anti-spy ware etc. Rarely does a security software search generate results about the physical security of a building, or an individual. Since this technology is new and not abundant most internet search engines will not find it. In fact the only company to do Security Audits and Vulnerability Assessments via web interface is Straec Technologies.
As it is, Security Consultants will be the only people available to Assess your security, if you know nothing about security prepare your pockets to be emptied, cause these guys are usually former FBIs, Architects or Engineers with masters in security. So its very important to make the right decisions, following this kind of advice is costly and sometimes these experts want to sell you security systems like cameras, doors or locks. On the other hand it can be even more expensive to take care of security by your own hand, you might end up with unbearable costs in the future by purchasing security systems that promess to be cheap, but maintainance and operation costs can be out of reach.
The Straec Technologies Initiative
Manuel Rodriguez, Straec Technologies CEO, had the brilliant idea of taking traditional risk and vulnerability assessment techniques and incorporating them into a system that people at large can use. With the help of security experts, IT personal (from wedoit4you.com), Straec Technologies created ezASSESSMENT™, an affordable solution, that is proactive and continuous; works for any organization that is looking to increase their security level and diminish potential risk.
Straec Technologies has developed a web based program, ezASSESSMENT™ that facilitates the implementation of security decisions. Straec’s ezASSESSMENT™ can be used by both the public and private sector looking for an effective way to monitor their vulnerabilities, self assess their current security and obtain specific and prioritized list of security measures
ezASSESSMENT
ezASSESSMENT is a Web Based system, which requires no instalation, only by having a Web Browser is enough, it could be Internet Explorer or Mozilla (it even works on Linux), you can start assessing the risks and security vulnerabilities of the organization right away. The system will not only do that, but it will also make the best recommendations so you make the correct investments in security, or simply give you advice for you to change the way you do things, or let you know how very simple details can make the difference, lowering risks levels, and eliminating possible costs you don't need to face. Currently ezASSESSMENT has knowledge bases for Schools, Chemical Plants and Security for Executives that travel or live in high risk countries like latin america, and it also has a Best Practice feature, with files, and news, to let people interact with each other sharing their experiences or similar troubles with security issues. ezASSESSMENT is currently developing Knowledge Bases for Transportation, Residential Buildings, Points of Sales (to avoid credit card frauds), Airports, Bridges, and others.
Until the introduction of ezASSESSMENT™ the only way to assess security issues was by hiring a security consultant that will cost at least $20,000. This fee does not include the equipment that they recommend you buy such as security cameras, locks etc. Many times the supplies that they recommend are the products they recommend, so the information they are providing you is bias, making this process very expensive and unattainable to the public at large. Although, ezASSESSMENT™ is beginning to change this process.
For the first time, the public at large can conduct security audits and vulnerability assessments via the web for a low fee of $125. This fee will give you access to ezASSESSMENT™, enabling you to create your own audits and vulnerability assessment for 1 month. The process is easy, fast and effective.

As an option, ezASSESSMENT customers can take their Audits directly on the site, because there are questions that will be answered better if you're standing in front of what's being asked about. wedoit4you.com has developed for Straec Technologies the ezASSESSMENT Pocket Audit software, which synchronizes the audits with ezASSESSMENT main server, that way the users can take hundreds of questions to the site, and do audits without dealing with paper and pen to do this.
Pocket Audit works under several connectivity modes, from connecting the Pocket PC to its desktop cradle, to using Wi-Fi (802.11x), CDMA1X, GPRS and soon EDGE. The software uses 128bit encryption technology and other safety measures to keep secret and intact this delicate information about the customer security

Flash demo for ezASSESSMENT - Addressed to all American Schools
wedoit4you.com produced a multimedia presentation for Straec Technologies,
which shows the benefits and how ezASSESSMENT works for American Schools. This presentation was developed by our Art Director and Graphic Designer, Ronnys Castro (which also helped the company create all their Corporate Identity). The making of this presentation took only 2 weeks, illustrations, animations, texts, voice sampling, sound editing and many other things were done to accomplish this demo, which will help Straec position itself inside the educational sector within the United States.
The system is being used in 11 latin american countries by multinational corporations to help traveling executives raise their security levels while they go through high risks locations. Some schools have started assessing their risks and vulnerabilities to help their staff and students be safer, and the results and answer from Straec Clients has been the greatest.
