Generic cybersecurity consultants apply the same approach to every client, regardless of industry. We've invested deeply in understanding the unique regulatory frameworks, operational constraints, and threat landscapes facing specific regulated industries.
Regulatory Expertise by Industry
Every regulated industry faces distinct compliance requirements. Financial advisors navigate SEC Regulation S-P and FINRA cybersecurity rules. Healthcare providers must satisfy HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules. Insurance companies comply with state insurance department cybersecurity requirements and the NAIC Model Law. Municipalities implement NIST frameworks and respond to CISA directives.
We don't learn your regulatory landscape during your engagement—we already know it. Our consultants have worked with hundreds of organizations in your industry, passed regulatory examinations, and responded to compliance investigations. When we recommend controls, they directly address the specific regulatory requirements your examiners will evaluate.
Industry-Specific Threat Intelligence
Cyber threat actors target industries differently. Healthcare faces ransomware designed to cripple patient care operations and force rapid payment. Financial services encounters sophisticated nation-state actors pursuing wire fraud and insider trading intelligence. Municipalities defend against attacks on critical infrastructure and voter registration systems.
Our security assessments evaluate defenses against the actual threats targeting your industry—not generic threat models. We test controls against attack patterns we've observed in your sector, ensuring your security investments protect against realistic threats rather than hypothetical scenarios that rarely materialize in your industry.
Cross-Industry Experience Adds Value
While we specialize by industry, our work across multiple regulated sectors provides unique perspectives. Security controls that prove effective in highly-regulated healthcare environments often benefit less-regulated industries. Incident response lessons from manufacturing ransomware attacks inform financial services defense strategies.
You benefit from best practices across industries without paying for generic consulting. We bring proven solutions from other regulated environments, adapted to your specific industry requirements and operational constraints. This cross-pollination of expertise accelerates your security program maturity and avoids common pitfalls we've observed across thousands of engagements.
