Whether it's patient records, financial data, defense secrets, or client files, you hold information that matters. We help you demonstrate, with evidence, that you're protecting it the way your regulators, insurers, and clients expect.
If compliance requirements, client expectations, or insurance demands have made security a business necessity for you, we built this for organizations exactly your size. 10–200 employees. No security team required.
HIPAA compliance, patient data protection, clinical systems security
PCI-DSS, GLBA, banking regulations, client asset protection
CMMC, NIST 800-171, defense supply chain, operational technology
Client data obligations, SOC 2, cyber insurance, vendor questionnaires
A healthcare clinic worrying about HIPAA feels the same pressure as a machine shop facing CMMC. A financial advisor trying to satisfy regulators has the same knot in their stomach as a law firm scrambling to answer a client questionnaire. The details change, but the underlying need is always the same: know where you stand, and be able to prove it.
We start every engagement the same way (measure, fix, prove) then apply it through the lens of your specific regulations, threats, and evidence requirements.
Same honest process. Same real outcomes. Tailored to the world you actually operate in.
HIPAA is getting stricter. Insurers are asking harder questions. And ransomware operators have figured out that healthcare organizations will pay to get patient data back. You didn't sign up for this, but you can't ignore it either.
Whether you're a medical practice, behavioral health provider, home health agency, dental group, or healthcare technology company, HIPAA compliance isn't optional. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is increasing enforcement actions, and the penalties are real, up to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums reaching $1.5 million per category.
Beyond the regulatory risk, healthcare is the number one target for ransomware. Patient records are more valuable on the dark web than credit card numbers, and disrupted operations can put lives at risk. The question isn't whether you have tools installed. It's whether anyone has honestly measured your HIPAA security posture.
We measure your security controls against recognized standards, map them directly to HIPAA technical safeguard requirements, and produce the evidence that OCR auditors and cyber insurance carriers need to see. No guessing. No hoping.

PCI-DSS, GLBA, banking regulators, insurance carriers. The list of people who want to see your security controls keeps growing. And "we have antivirus" stopped being a good enough answer years ago.
Banks, credit unions, insurance agencies, wealth management firms, and accounting practices all face a common challenge: they handle sensitive financial data that everyone (regulators, clients, insurers) expects to be protected. And the stakes are personal. A breach doesn't just bring regulatory penalties. It destroys the client trust your entire business is built on.
Most financial services firms have sophisticated technology needs but are hampered by legacy infrastructure, limited security expertise, and reactive approaches that don't produce the evidence regulators require. When the FDIC examiner or PCI assessor arrives, you need more than a product list. You need proof.
We assess your controls against recognized standards, map them to PCI-DSS, GLBA, and regulatory examination requirements, and produce the evidence packages that satisfy examiners, auditors, and insurance underwriters.

CMMC certification is now required to bid on and retain DoD contracts. For a machine shop or manufacturer that's been operating for decades without a formal security program, that can feel overwhelming. It doesn't have to be.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requires defense contractors and subcontractors to implement security controls from NIST SP 800-171 to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). At Level 2, this means implementing and documenting 110 security practices and passing a third-party assessment by an authorized C3PAO.
For most small and mid-sized manufacturers, this is a fundamental shift. Companies that have been running successfully for decades now need documented controls, evidence of implementation, and ongoing compliance monitoring. The good news: most CMMC requirements map directly to the security controls we already assess and implement. You don't have to figure this out alone.
Beyond defense contractors, all manufacturers face increasing cybersecurity risks: ransomware that shuts down production lines, IP theft from foreign adversaries, supply chain attacks that compromise trusted vendors, and growing pressure from customers and insurers to demonstrate security controls.

Law firms, engineering firms, consultancies: you handle sensitive client information every day. And your clients increasingly expect, and contractually require, evidence that you're taking security seriously.
The pressure comes from everywhere: client security questionnaires that get more detailed every year, cyber insurance applications that require evidence of specific controls, ethical obligations around confidentiality, and the reputational risk of a breach that exposes the very information your clients trusted you to protect.
Unlike healthcare or financial services, there's often no single governing framework. Instead, you face a patchwork: client-specific questionnaires, SOC 2 expectations from enterprise clients, insurance control requirements, and state breach notification laws. The challenge is building a security program that satisfies all of them without a clear roadmap.
That's exactly what our approach solves. We measure your security controls against recognized standards that map to all of these requirements. A single baseline assessment produces evidence that answers client questionnaires, satisfies insurance carriers, and demonstrates the security maturity that enterprise clients expect from their vendors.
| Common | SOC 2, NIST CSF |
| Client-Driven | Vendor questionnaires, SIG/CAIQ |
| Insurance | Carrier-specific control requirements |
Regardless of your industry, every Baseline engagement follows the same assessment-led approach. The difference is how we apply it to your specific regulatory environment.
Measure your security posture against proven controls. Get a score, not a feeling.
Map your controls to your industry's compliance frameworks. Identify gaps with precision.
Close gaps with hands-on implementation. Rescan to prove improvement with evidence.
With a documented baseline in place, we map controls to your compliance requirements, advise on strategy, and produce the evidence your insurers and auditors need.
We work across all four industries on this page, and our methodology applies to any regulated business. The security controls we assess are the foundation that all compliance frameworks are built on. They're industry-agnostic. What changes is how we map those controls to your specific regulatory requirements and the guidance we provide along the way.
Absolutely. While we have deep experience in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and professional services, our approach works for any business that has data to protect and people asking questions about how it's protected. If that sounds like you, we can help.
Yes. We maintain working knowledge of HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GLBA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, and other frameworks relevant to the industries we serve. Our compliance mapping service specifically translates your measured security controls into the language and evidence format each framework requires.
That's exactly who we're built for. Businesses with 10–200 employees, big enough to have real compliance obligations and real risk, but not big enough to have a security team or CISO on staff. We bring that expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.
No. Many of our clients have an existing MSP for day-to-day IT operations. We work alongside your MSP for security assessment, remediation, and compliance work. We start with an assessment to measure where you stand, regardless of who manages your day-to-day IT.
It starts with a conversation about your business, what you're up against, and what's keeping you up at night. We'll help you find the right starting point. No pressure, no pitch.
