World-Class Pediatric Healthcare System Signs Six-Figure Contract With CynergisTek For Risk Assessment Services

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.
