As a partner of Hotman Group, I have worked with hundreds of business leaders to help them feel more confident in their cybersecurity programs. We take the build - implement - run approach to ensure each client is fully equipped to do the right thing when it comes to cybersecurity.First, we start with an assessment to determine where you are based on a benchmark within a security compliance framework like SOC 2, NIST CSF, and others. Then, we strategically prioritize your action items based on the risks to your business. Lastly, we help you set the bar based on the objective you'd like to reach. From a self-governed discipline to an all-inclusive cybersecurity program to the strictest audits, we help you handle it all.Most companies look at their cybersecurity piecemeal, inadvertently putting themselves at risk. With Hotman Group, we approach cybersecurity strategically, with a plan so you can be fully protected.Specialities: vCISO/ Fractional CISO, Cybersecurity, Risk Assessment, Gap Assessment, Maturity, Assessment, SOC 2, HITRUST, HIPAA, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, FFIEC, SOC 2 Readiness, Remediation, Auditor Support, Regulator Support, SOC 2 Audit, Data Protection (PHI, PII, PI), Risk Management (ERM), Privacy (GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2), GRC, Third Party Risk Management (TPRM), Supply Chain Risk, Vendor Risk, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Metrics, Breach Support, Incident Response (IR), Tabletops
