Terms & Conditions
These terms govern your use of the Lausey Advisory Firm website. By accessing or using this site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. About Us
This website is operated by Lausey Advisory Firm ("Lausey", "we", "us", or "our"), a cybersecurity advisory practice providing executive cybersecurity guidance, risk management, and secure digital transformation services to organizations in the United States and internationally.
2. Use of This Website
You may use this website for lawful purposes only. In particular, you agree not to:
- Use the site in any way that breaches applicable law or regulation
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its servers, or any connected system
- Introduce malicious code, or conduct any scanning, probing, or testing of the site's security without our prior written consent
- Interfere with the proper operation of the site or the experience of other users
- Copy, reproduce, or redistribute site content except as permitted below
We reserve the right to restrict access to the site, or to any part of it, at our discretion and without notice.
3. Information Is Not Advice
The content on this website — including articles published under Insights, framework descriptions, service descriptions, and published research — is provided for general information only. It does not constitute professional cybersecurity, legal, regulatory, or financial advice, and it should not be relied upon as such.
Cybersecurity risk is specific to each organization's environment, obligations, and circumstances. Nothing on this site creates an advisory relationship between you and Lausey. An advisory relationship arises only under a signed engagement agreement.
4. Enquiries and Engagements
Submitting our contact form, emailing us, or calling us does not create a contract or an obligation on either side. Any engagement is subject to a separate written agreement setting out scope, deliverables, fees, and terms.
Where a signed engagement agreement conflicts with these website terms, the engagement agreement takes precedence in respect of that engagement.
5. Intellectual Property
All content on this website — including text, graphics, layout, design, logos, frameworks, methodologies, and published materials — is owned by Lausey Advisory Firm or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law.
The Lausey Cyber Risk Forecast™ and associated methodologies are proprietary to Lausey Advisory Firm.
You may view, download, and print content from this site for your own internal, non-commercial reference. You may not republish, redistribute, sell, or create derivative works from it without our prior written permission. Books and publications listed under Lausey Technology Press are subject to their own copyright and licensing terms.
6. Third-Party Links
This site links to external websites, including the personal site of Dr. Yawo O. Kondo and third-party publishing and professional platforms. Those links are provided for convenience. We do not control those sites, do not endorse their content, and accept no responsibility for them.
7. Availability
We aim to keep this website available and accurate, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We may suspend, withdraw, or change any part of the site without notice.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lausey Advisory Firm shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or any content on it, including any decision taken in reliance on information published here.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.
