You don’t know what you don’t know. That’s the risk.

HIPAA and cybersecurity risk assessments for organizations in Denver and across Colorado. HIPAA, NIST CSF, and SOX mapped into a single assessment. Vulnerability scanning, physical walkthroughs, and administrative review — not a checkbox exercise.

Most assessments tell you what’s wrong.
Ours tell you what to do about it — and in what order.

These are the moments organizations call us.

Not because something broke — but because something changed. An insurer asked a question they couldn’t answer. A contract required documentation they didn’t have. A regulator scheduled a review.

Your cyber insurance premium spiked.

Underwriters want documentation of your security controls. Without it, premiums climb — or coverage disappears entirely.

A client sent a security questionnaire.

75 questions. Most answers were “No” or “Don’t know.” The contract went to someone who had documentation ready.

You got hit once already.

You recovered, but nobody ever told you how they got in. The same gaps are still there. You need to know what to fix — and in what order.

Your IT tools might not be working together.

Antivirus, email filtering, backup, compliance software — none of it integrates, nobody’s validating it, and you have no way to know if you’re actually protected.

Not a checklist. A complete picture of your environment.

This is a comprehensive, multi-framework assessment that covers your entire environment — technical, administrative, and physical. Every finding mapped to the compliance frameworks your industry requires.

Technical Testing

Enterprise-grade vulnerability scanning that identifies unpatched software, misconfigurations, and security gaps across all endpoints and infrastructure.

Physical Site Assessments

We visit each location to evaluate facility access, workstation security, and physical safeguards — the things a remote scan will never catch.

Administrative Review

Policy documentation, vendor agreements, training programs, incident response readiness — everything an auditor or regulator will ask about.

Framework Mapping

Every finding mapped to HIPAA, SOX, NIST CSF, and CIS controls. Audit-ready documentation that satisfies regulators, insurers, and clients.

Actionable Remediation Plan

Prioritized by risk, with timelines. Not just “here’s what’s wrong” — but “here’s what to fix first, and here’s how.”

IT security audit, IT assessment, cybersecurity assessment. Same question.

People come to us asking for different things. An insurer wants a cybersecurity assessment. A board wants an IT security audit. A new practice manager wants an IT assessment because nobody can tell her what is actually on the network. Underneath, the question is the same: where do we stand, and what do we fix first?

That is what this engagement answers. We test the technical side, review the policies and paperwork, and walk each location in person. For healthcare organizations it covers the risk analysis the HIPAA Security Rule requires, and it is one piece of HIPAA compliance as a whole. For financial services, insurance, legal, and manufacturing, we map the same findings to the frameworks your auditors and insurers ask about.

We do this work for organizations in Denver and across Colorado.

The surprises are rarely in the scan.

The technical findings matter. The ones clients remember come from five areas that nobody owns day to day.

Accounts that should not still work

Former staff with live email or remote access. Vendor and test logins nobody can explain. No single list of who can get into what.

No decision on what to keep

Email, files, and shared folders holding years of sensitive information, with no agreed rule for what is archived, for how long, or why. We show what exists so leadership and counsel can decide.

Cloud systems nobody is watching

Files shared by link outside the organization, permissions opened for a project and never closed, API keys and app connections left behind by tools you stopped using.

AI tools nobody approved

Staff using AI chatbots on personal accounts, and AI features switched on inside software you already own. We identify which ones touch sensitive information and whether an agreement covers them.

Training that has never been tested

Annual training is common. Walking the team through a real scenario is not. A one-hour tabletop exercise shows who calls whom and where the plan runs out.

How we work with you.

A thorough assessment takes time. We don’t rush it — because a superficial review doesn’t protect anyone. Typical timeline: 2–4 months depending on your organization’s size and complexity.

Phase 1

Discovery

We scope your environment — locations, users, systems, vendors, and compliance obligations.

Phase 2

Technical Assessment

Vulnerability scanning, configuration audits, and patch analysis across all endpoints and infrastructure.

Phase 3

Administrative Review

Policy review, staff interviews, vendor risk analysis, and training evaluation.

Phase 4

Physical Walkthrough

On-site evaluation at each location — access controls, workstation security, environmental safeguards.

Phase 5

Analysis & Mapping

Findings mapped to HIPAA, SOX, NIST CSF, and CIS — audit-ready documentation for your industry.

Phase 6

Report & Review

Full written report plus a walkthrough session to review findings and prioritize next steps together.

Questions we hear most.

What does a HIPAA security risk assessment include?

The HIPAA Security Rule requires a thorough risk analysis of how your organization protects electronic patient information. Ours covers all three safeguard areas the rule names: technical (vulnerability scanning, configuration and patch review), administrative (policies, training, vendor agreements, incident response), and physical (an onsite review of each location). Every finding maps to the Security Rule and NIST CSF, with a remediation plan prioritized by risk.

Do you perform risk assessments outside Denver?

Yes. We are based in Denver and work with organizations across Colorado, including onsite walkthroughs at each location. If you have sites outside Colorado, we will talk through how to scope them.

Is an IT security audit the same as a risk assessment?

They overlap. An audit checks your controls against a standard and tells you what passes. A risk assessment goes further. It looks at what could go wrong in your environment, how likely it is, and what to fix first. Ours does both. You get the control-by-control findings an auditor expects and a remediation plan in priority order.

Our insurer or a client asked for a cybersecurity assessment. Is this what they mean?

Usually, yes. Cyber insurers and larger clients want to see that someone qualified has tested your controls and that you have a plan for the gaps. Our report gives you that in a form you can hand over. If they sent a specific questionnaire, bring it to the first conversation and we will scope the assessment to answer it.

How is this different from the assessments I’ve seen before?

Most assessments are remote checkbox exercises — a few pages, a pass/fail, and a false sense of security. Ours includes physical site visits, staff interviews, multi-framework mapping, and a prioritized remediation plan. The result is typically 80–120 pages of audit-ready documentation.

Is this only for healthcare organizations?

No. We assess organizations across healthcare, financial services, insurance, legal, manufacturing, and other regulated industries. The assessment maps to whatever frameworks apply to your industry — HIPAA, SOX, NIST CSF, CIS, and others.

How long does the process take?

Typically 2–4 months depending on your organization’s size, number of locations, and complexity. We don’t rush it — a thorough assessment is the only kind worth doing.

Will this replace our current IT provider?

It depends on what you need. Many organizations engage us for the assessment and then work with us on remediation and ongoing managed services. Others use the findings to guide their existing IT team. We’ll recommend what makes the most sense for your situation.

What happens after the assessment?

You receive the full report and we walk through it together. From there, you can engage us for remediation, ongoing compliance management, or managed IT and security services — or take the plan to your own team. The assessment stands on its own regardless.

Most assessments end with a report.
Ours ends with a plan you can act on.
