501CISO Cybersecurity Leadership

Nonprofit and association organizations and medical clinics have unique organizational objectives, challenges, and cultures. Yet they share the same increasing critical cybersecurity risks as all commercial entities. Cybersecurity assessment costs are soaring and can range between $30K-$50K from corporate-focused security firms. They also only provide a single point in time view of an organizations risks and no ongoing project support for implementing security controls that address the gaps.

501CISO provides cost-effective, expert cybersecurity leadership to the small and medium-sized business market with a solution tuned to the fast-paced and unique challenges of an SMB, Nonprofit, Association, and Medical Clinic.

501CISO understands the unique challenges for nonprofits, associations and medical clinics, and provides them with a full range of security leadership and ongoing project support to improve their security position.

Understanding Your Organizational Risk

SMBs, including nonprofits, associations and medical clinics, are vital since they make up more than 90% of professional organizations. After the pandemic, SMBs are facing increasing cyber threats as they are more connected today—with remote staff, members, customers and vendors. Easy availability of low-cost cyber weapons has led to a surge in phishing attempts, malware, and ransomware attacks on inadequately secured networks.

Over 50% of the SMBs surveyed reported some type of data breach or cyber-attack over the past year.  In most attacks, the adversary’s goal was not extortion or data encryption, but company data, personal data, intellectual property, and other sensitive information.  Managing the damage from these kinds of attacks is almost impossible. It leads to reputational loss as well as potential penalties from regulators and lawsuits. All this is used as an additional incentive for blackmail.

The Solution for Associations/Nonprofits:

Nonprofit and association organizations need Expert Cybersecurity Leadership to clearly communicate the organization’s current risk position, outline a roadmap for improvements, prioritize the most impactful tasks, and ensure the proper attention is being consistently applied to these critical risks. 

The Solution for Medical Clinics/Businesses:

501CISO provides a cost-effective solution to ensure your medical organization is HIPAA compliant. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule requires that covered entities and its business associates conduct a risk assessment of their healthcare organization. A risk assessment helps your organization ensure it is compliant with HIPAA’s administrative, physical, and technical safeguards and also reveals areas where your organization’s protected health information (PHI) could be at risk. Affordable HIPAA compliance is finally available through 501CISO HIPAA services.
