Gap assessments, audit-ready documentation, and ongoing monitoring — built by a team with real regulated-industry experience across utilities and healthcare, not a generic compliance checklist.
Regulators and auditors don't care how small your IT team is — the documentation and control requirements are the same whether you have 25 employees or 2,500. Most SMBs discover their gaps during an audit, an insurance renewal, or a breach. We close those gaps before they find you.
If your business touches the bulk electric system — as a utility, cooperative, contractor, or vendor in the supply chain — NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards govern how you secure, document, and monitor your environment. We've applied CIP-grade rigor inside enterprise utility environments and bring that same discipline to mid-sized organizations that need to pass an audit without a dedicated compliance department.
Any Columbus business that stores, processes, or transmits protected health information — clinics, medical billing firms, childcare providers with health records, insurance brokers — needs technical, administrative, and physical safeguards that hold up under a HIPAA Security Rule audit. We've supported HIPAA-aligned environments across healthcare systems and bring that same framework to practices and vendors who can't afford a full-time compliance officer.
Compliance rarely stops at one standard — here's what else we help Columbus businesses prepare for.
A full review of your current environment against the specific framework's control requirements — mapped to what an auditor will actually ask for.
A prioritized, plain-English plan for closing gaps — sequenced by risk and audit deadline, not a 200-page binder nobody reads.
Continuous log review, access control enforcement, and documentation upkeep, so compliance doesn't reset to zero every audit cycle.

Book Your Free Risk Assessment →NERC CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) standards apply to organizations that own, operate, or provide services to the bulk electric system — including utilities, cooperatives, and their vendors and contractors. If you're unsure whether your business falls under CIP jurisdiction, we can help you determine your applicability during a risk assessment.
If your organization creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information — including as a business associate to a covered entity — HIPAA's Security Rule applies to you, regardless of company size.
Most SMB gap assessments take one to three weeks depending on environment size and how much existing documentation you have. We'll give you a firm timeline after an initial scoping call.
Yes. Many of our clients face overlapping requirements — for example, a healthcare-adjacent business that also handles credit card payments needs both HIPAA and PCI-DSS controls. We build a unified control set that satisfies all applicable frameworks rather than duplicating work.
