Program Engagement

A named CISO accountable for your security program — not just contributing to it.

A fully managed security program built and run by an experienced practitioner. Covers everything from policy and compliance to board reporting, third-party risk, and incident response. You get the outcome, not just the deliverables.

Who This Is For

Companies that need a complete security program — not a project.

Preparing for HITRUST or SOC 2

You have an enterprise customer or investor requiring certification. You need someone who has led these programs before to own the path from gap assessment to attestation.

No internal security leadership

You have technical staff but no one with the experience or authority to own the security program at an executive level. A fractional CISO fills that role without the cost of a full-time hire.

Post-incident rebuild

You've experienced a breach or near-miss and need to rebuild your program with credibility — for OCR, for your customers, and for your board. This engagement provides the leadership and documentation to do it right.

What's Included

Everything your program needs — owned and operated by a named CISO.

Full HIPAA Security Rule Program

Complete policy and procedure set, annual Security Risk Assessment, cloud architecture alignment, and ongoing compliance verification — built to OCR standards and updated as regulations evolve.

Certification Readiness

HITRUST and SOC 2 Type II readiness assessment, gap remediation, control implementation, and audit support. Led by someone who has completed 7 HITRUST certifications and 10 SOC 2 Type II audits.

Board & Executive Reporting

Regular security program reporting to executive leadership and the board. Communicates risk posture, program maturity, key metrics, and investment priorities in language executives understand.

Third-Party Risk Management

Vendor security assessments, Business Associate Agreement architecture, and ongoing third-party risk monitoring — ensuring your compliance posture extends to every vendor that touches PHI.

Embedded Technical Execution

Hands-on security work alongside your team — monitoring tuning, IAM reviews, cloud infrastructure reviews, phishing simulations, tool configuration, and policy compliance verification.

Incident Response Ownership

You have a named CISO to call when something goes wrong. Containment, investigation, OCR notification guidance, customer communication, and post-incident program improvements — owned, not delegated.

Investment

A fractional CISO relationship — priced by program scope.

Program engagements are scoped at the outset based on your environment, compliance requirements, and team structure. 6-month minimum commitment.
