Security Program Development

Build the program,
not just the policy.

Most organizations don't need more policies — they need the right controls implemented and evidenced. We build programs that pass audits because they reflect what you actually do.

What we build

From secure code to audit evidence.

The upstream fix — what keeps the next batch of SQL injection out of production and the next audit from becoming a scramble.

Secure Development Lifecycle

Design and integrate an SDL that catches issues in the IDE and the pull request — not in production.

CI/CD security gates

SAST and SCA wired into the pipeline so vulnerable code cannot merge unnoticed.

Policy development & review

Compass six-dimension scoring — structural integrity, enforceability, consistency, framework alignment, currency, and tone.

Framework alignment & gap analysis

NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA Security Rule, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 mapped to the controls you already run.

Security awareness program

Design and delivery of continuous, human-first training — not a forgettable annual video.

See the training

Vendor risk management program

Stand up third-party risk end to end: external scanning, scoring, and a repeatable review cadence.

Evidence & audit preparation

Evidence collected as the work happens, mapped to controls, and ready before the auditor asks.

How we build

Programs that reflect reality.

We don't write shelfware. A program is only as good as the behavior it actually produces — so that's what we design for.

Controls, not shelfware

People over policies

A control nobody follows isn't a control — it's a liability with a signature. We build programs around what your team will genuinely do, then evidence it.

The upstream fix

Fix the pipeline

The reason vulnerable code reaches production is a missing gate, not a missing policy. We fix the pipeline and the process — not just the paperwork that describes them.

Audit-ready by construction

Evidence as you go

Evidence is captured as work happens and mapped to controls, so audit prep becomes a review instead of a fire drill three weeks before the assessor arrives.

AI-era guardrails

Keep pace with velocity

AI-assisted code generation is accelerating in healthcare IT. SDL guardrails have to keep pace, or the volume of shipped risk climbs right alongside your velocity.

Credentials & framework fluency

One named, accountable security leader — CISSP-certified, healthcare-focused, and fluent in the frameworks your auditors and your board actually care about.

  • CISSP (ISC)² Certified Information Systems Security Professional
  • CC (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity
  • MSCIA WGU M.S. Cybersecurity & Information Assurance — candidate
  • RITx Cybersecurity MicroMasters — risk, network security, forensics

Framework expertise

  • NIST CSF 2.0
  • HIPAA Security Rule
  • SOC 2 TSC
  • ISO 27001
  • CIS Controls
  • OWASP ASVS 4.0
  • CWE Top 25
