Compliance doesn't just mean securing your systems. It means you can pass an audit or survive an investigation based on the new rules.
NY's new regulations require risk assessments and compliance with NIST cybersecurity standards.
We are certified in performing NIST cybersecurity assessments.
Our assessments are not biased because we don't sell IT products or services.
We can help you oversee cybersecurity compliance as part of your governance program. Call 888-997-3635 x 202 now for a free consultation.
We’ve been advising organizations to comply since 2004, based on Mike Semel’s certifications and hands-on experience as the Chief Information Officer for a hospital. Mike has written HIPAA certification courses and a best-selling book, How to Avoid HIPAA Headaches.



“Great news! Attached is the letter we received from the regulators saying they are closing our case without further action. Mike, thank you so much for your assistance with the response. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your input that greatly influenced this outcome.”

The most common root cause of regulatory penalties is the lack of an accurate and thorough cybersecurity risk assessment.
You know a good doctor wouldn't treat you by just asking questions. You want one that looks under your skin to see what is really happening.
That's why we look under your organization's 'skin' to evaluate your cybersecurity and compliance.
