Cybersecurity Leadership for Regulated Industries
Healthcare organizations navigating HIPAA. Defense contractors facing CMMC certification deadlines. Financial services firms meeting FTC Safeguards requirements. These industries share a common challenge: escalating compliance obligations that demand executive-level security leadership — but most mid-sized organizations can't justify a $250,000 CISO salary. Regulators don't care about your org chart. They care whether you have the controls, documentation, and governance posture to protect the data you're entrusted with.
HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA Security Rule readiness for healthcare organizations — including preparation for the proposed 2026 changes that would eliminate addressable safeguards and mandate encryption, MFA, and 72-hour system restoration.
