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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Virtual CISO?

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.

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.  

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.  

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.
