Cybersecurity Strategy & Advisory

Security programs
you can prove.

Fractional CISO leadership and security awareness training for mid-market healthcare. We build the program around what your team actually does, then evidence it.

  • One named security leader The person who owns your program sits in the meetings and answers for the outcome.
  • Write what you can prove Policies sized to what you really do, so audit season is a review, not a rewrite.
  • Healthcare by default HIPAA, PHI, and clinical-workflow context in every recommendation.
  • Board to firewall CISSP-led, with the hands-on engineering background to implement what we recommend.

How we work with you

Strategy and training — one team.

Two ways to engage: the security leader who sets the direction and builds the program, and the training that gets your people behind it. Most engagements start with advisory and grow from there.

Built for healthcare, specifically

The reason both come from one team: security decisions in healthcare only make sense with clinical, regulatory, and PHI context.

  • PHI handling means security decisions need clinical-workflow context — not generic best practice.
  • HIPAA compliance is a floor, not a ceiling. We build the program above it.
  • AI-assisted code generation is accelerating in healthcare IT — SDL guardrails have to keep pace.
  • Mid-market healthcare can't justify a $250K CISO salary — but can't afford to go without one.

What your team gets

Security awareness training that holds up in an audit.

Modules on current threats

Training Library

AI and sensitive data, phishing, business email compromise, and ransomware, plus an annual awareness course. Video, audio, and interactive formats that run from five to thirty minutes.

Graded, not just clicked

Training Modules

Modules end in quizzes graded on the server, with score and time on module recorded. Completion means someone did the work, not that a video played in a background tab.

Tabletop exercises

Incident Response Practice

A guided ransomware tabletop your team runs on its own, with check-in, attestation, and a signed report at the end. The IR exercise auditors ask for, without a facilitator on the clock.

Evidence you can hand over

Audit-Ready Records

Completion records are server-timestamped and append-only, so they cannot be quietly edited after the fact. Export them for your SOC 2 auditor instead of rebuilding them from inboxes.

SOC 2 HIPAA ISO 27001:2022 NIST CSF 2.0 PCI DSS

People over policies

Compliance is a human discipline before it's a document. Everything we do is built to make the people doing the work sharper, faster, and more confident — not to bury them in process.

Framework Coverage

The frameworks your auditors live in.

  • NIST CSF 2.0
  • ISO 27001:2022
  • SOC 2 TSC
  • HIPAA

Why Zeblade

Built differently. On purpose.

01

Proof over paperwork.

Nobody grades a policy on its prose. Auditors check that what you wrote is what you do. We keep the documents short, accurate, and backed by evidence you already produce.

02

Built for healthcare.

HIPAA isn't a checkbox bolted onto a generic SOC 2 template. It's the operating environment. Every recommendation assumes PHI and real regulatory scrutiny.

03

Sized for mid-market.

A full-time CISO costs more than most mid-market organizations can justify. You get the whole role, scoped to the hours you actually need, with no reseller markup on what we recommend.
