A Fractional CISO for Healthcare
A senior security leader embedded in your organization — owning your HIPAA program, running compliance, and standing in for a full-time CISO at a fraction of the cost.
All the Authority of a CISO.
None of the Headcount.
A fractional CISO — also called a virtual or vCISO — is a senior security executive who works with your team on a part-time, ongoing basis. Most healthcare organizations under 500 employees can't justify a $300K+ full-time CISO. But the moment a hospital partner asks for a HIPAA risk analysis or a payer demands SOC 2, the gap shows.
We close that gap. Cyberency embeds a dedicated CISO into your leadership team — running the program week-over-week, sitting in on board calls, and holding the pen on every security and compliance decision.
Without a CISO
- Compliance done in panic before audits
- Vendor questionnaires answered by marketing
- No clear owner when an incident happens
- Cyber insurance premiums climbing every year
- Deals stall in security review
With Cyberency
- Continuous, audit-ready compliance posture
- Security questionnaires returned in days
- Named incident owner & tested response plan
- Defensible posture for insurance & renewals
- Deals close because security is a strength
The Full Security Program
Not a part-time advisor. A program owner.
Strategy & Roadmap
A 12-month security plan built against your business goals — not a checklist generated by a tool.
Compliance Programs
HIPAA, HITECH, SOC 2, HITRUST, and ISO 27001 — implemented, documented, and kept evergreen.
Risk Management
A live risk register that tracks what's been accepted, what's been remediated, and who owns what.
Vendor & Third-Party
BAA negotiation, vendor security reviews, and ongoing monitoring of supply-chain risk.
Incident Response
Runbooks, tabletop exercises, breach-notification readiness, and a CISO on speed-dial when it matters.
Board & Auditor Support
Board-ready security reports, executive briefings, and direct conversations with your auditors and clients.
A Predictable Engagement
Onboarding & Discovery
Your CISO meets every stakeholder, inventories systems and data flows, and reviews existing policies, vendors, and prior assessments.
Baseline & Roadmap
You receive a written baseline of where you stand against HIPAA and your other applicable frameworks, plus a prioritized 12-month roadmap.
Operating Cadence
Weekly working sessions, monthly executive reports, quarterly board readouts. Slack and email coverage in between for live decisions.
Continuous Improvement
The program matures every quarter. Each year you re-assess scope: more frameworks, more depth, less reliance on us.
