Don't worry. Get help from a Virtual CISO Healthcare.
Did you know...
THE HIPAA WALL OF SHAME IS SCARY
Take a minute to search online for the "HIPAA Wall of Shame." Look at the most recent HIPAA breaches.
You'll see that the reason for most breaches is "Hacking/IT Incident." A whopping 68% of recent breaches, in fact.
These were large firms AND small firms that were attacked.
86-POINT CHECKLIST FROM HHS
HHS has an 86-point checklist that healthcare organizations are supposed to follow. It tells you, in detail, what you need to do to protect your business and your patients.
Companies that follow this checklist are safe and HIPAA-compliant.
Companies that don't follow this checklist end up on the HIPAA Wall of Shame.
$1,000 PER MEDICAL RECORD
Why are hackers going after both large and small healthcare companies?
Medical records sell for hundreds of dollars on the black market, with some going for as much as $1,000.
Do the math. Whether you have 500 records or 50,000 records, that's still a lot of money.
Hackers will take their time for that amount of money.

Cybersecurity is a lot like healthcare.
You can never be 100% safe, just like you can never guarantee a patient won't get sick.
But by following good hygiene, you can make it a lot more likely your data, your patients, and your practice will be safe.
Here's what our clients think...
"Adelia Risk is exactly what I needed for my business, I’m in healthcare and protecting PHI is critical. We weren't sure we were set up properly. Adelia Risk made it so we don't have to worry. They took care of our email security, made sure our computers were set up the right way, and even took the time to train our staff on how to be safe, secure, and HIPAA-compliant."
Mark Lescault, Grace Barker Health
"The team at Adelia Risk have exceeded my expectations in every way. Besides providing my medical practice a unique and detailed HIPAA environment, they have been responsive to every request we have made as we have grown and expanded our needs. I highly recommend Adelia Risk!"
Dr. Scott Werden Vanguard Specialty Imaging
"Adelia Risk set up my HIPAA-compliant Google Workspace to protect PHI. What I like the most about Adelia Risk is their wonderful customer service. They respond promptly and patiently answer all of my questions. I appreciate how they guided me through the setup process and made me feel like they value my business."
Maurizio Emanuele, Therapy in Tune
"We are very satisfied with the quality of product and exceptional customer service. Our team enjoys the monthly security and compliance training. We have a high level of confidence in our ability to protect PHI because Adelia Risk properly set up our HIPAA compliant email."
Brenda Falls, Barrier Islands Free Medical Clinic
"Adelia Risk’s service is perfect for our business--as a firm that services health and social care companies, we take cybersecurity just as seriously as our clients. They configured our Google Workspace with an easy-to-use secure email service. Their team is quick to respond and very helpful when we have questions about HIPAA or cybersecurity."
Juliette Price, HSG Global
"Working with Adelia Risk provides me with peace of mind. Our HIPAA compliant email is properly configured, our PHI is protected, and my staff receives HIPAA and security training. I’m very pleased with their service and how quickly they respond to my questions and requests."

So we didn't scare you off...
If you're comfortable with all of this, then let's talk.
Maybe we're a good fit for each other. Only one way to find out!
In large organizations, the Chief Information Security Officer, or CISO, is the guru of all things information security.
They make sure that your cybersecurity goals line up with your business strategy. They present to board members about cybersecurity. They manage oversight, and figure out what's missing.
Large organizations have had CISOs for years. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are realizing that virtual CISOs can help them too.
It's kind of like hiring a marketing agency or a fractional CFO. vCISO services hit the ground running.
You get industry experience without the cost of very high-priced FTE.
What makes you different?
Here's what our vCISO clients say:
1) Our plans are "right-sized" for businesses with 10-300 employees. Our competitors can charge tens of thousands of dollars per quarter.
2) No long-term contracts. Life is too short to work with unhappy clients. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
3) No extra services. Our prices already include tools that other vCISO firms make you buy separately.
4) We're not boring. Information security people can be awfully dry. Not us.
What does the Virtual CISO service cost?
Eleventy-billion dollars.
Just kidding - our price varies based on the size and complexity of your organization and the urgency of the project. It's tough to quote a price without having a conversation first, even if it's just an email conversation. Fill out the form above to start the conversation.
I have fewer than 10 employees - can you help me?
Maybe?
We do have some clients smaller than 10 employees. The ones who get value out of working with us already have a relationship with a good I.T. firm, and they want our help making sure that they're doing everything they should.
