CynergisTek to provide additional support in safeguarding
sensitive information to a top leader in children’s health
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE American: CTEK), leading cybersecurity,
privacy, compliance, and IT audit firm helping organizations in
highly regulated industries navigate emerging security and privacy
issues, announces a six-figure extension contract for a west coast
pediatric healthcare system for risk assessment, promoting
interoperability security controls assessment, vendor security
management, and incident response readiness services.
Healthcare organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the
need to ensure greater due diligence in understanding their
security posture and risks faced across the enterprise, increasing
their ability to respond and handle security incidents, managing
the risks posed by vendors, and remaining compliant with ever
increasing regulatory obligations. The industry is moving past
building programs and implementing controls to wanting to know that
their investments and efforts are effectively blocking threats.
This client continues to rely on CynergisTek’s expertise and array
of capabilities to assist in managing risk.
“Understanding cybersecurity risk to an organization is a
critical and a necessary part of ensuring the impacts of disruptive
cyber-attacks are minimal,” said Dave Bailey, Vice President of
Security Services at CynergisTek. “Proactive risk assessment and
risk management help build resilient and effective safeguards,” he
adds.
In today’s IT environment, the attack surface encompasses an
organization’s information assets, whether on premise, hosted, or
provided by a third party externally. Being prepared for cyber
incidents takes a combination of active defenses, smart actions,
and solid response plans and execution. “The muscle memory needed
to thwart an attack is no trivial matter, and more organizations
are looking for experienced outside partners to assist them in
exercising and developing this expertise,” said Mac McMillan, CEO
of CynergisTek. “Combining the first-hand knowledge of our teams
with the tools of strategic partners like GroupSense, Awake, and
Mandiant, to name a few, provides our clients with the expertise
they need to accomplish this task.” This is a relatively new set of
solutions and services that are catching on with the market.
