We back up that pride by subjecting our systems and process to recurring independent security testing and evaluation by multiple providers. Our technicians receive weekly industry insider training on the very latest emerging threats and malicious techniques to protect ourselves and our customers. We offer the same in-depth assessments through our 3rd party evaluator. We facilitate the scan and assist you with resolving any issues discovered.

2

Regulatory Compliance. Skilled Cyber is HIPAA compliant. This means our business process, system hardening, and employees undergo regular evaluation, training, and assessment. Our compliance is meaningful even if your business does not need to be HIPAA compliant. Our employees are trained to handle your business information with the same privacy as your doctor handles your healthcare information. As a result of our experience, we offer Compliance-as-a-Service for HIPAA, PCI, and others. This is an affordable month-to-month service that will get you compliant and keep you compliant. It even provides you direct assistance if you have the unfortunate luck of being audited for compliance.

Advanced Security Services. When Skilled Cyber decided to become HIPAA compliant and then subject our systems to independent security audits, we had to up our game. We had to install and use the highest level of protection we could find. As a result of our own experience, we found what really worked and what didn’t. Today we offer a wide range of advanced and integrated services to protect your business with a comprehensive solution.

Cloud Experience. In 2013 Skilled Cyber became Connecticut’s first Amazon Web Services cloud partner. This was years before Microsoft launched Office 365 and Azure. Since then, Skilled Cyber has been installing and maintaining systems at AWS for small businesses across Connecticut. We have over 20 years experience with skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. We can help you learn about, transition, and run your systems at the world’s largest cloud provider.

5

Cyber Insurance. Skilled Cyber carries Cyber Insurance, and every business today should carry their own Cyber Insurance because of the risk of attack is so high these days. We offer two services around Cyber Insurance. First, because of our industry experience we have over 100 audit review elements to evaluate your insurability. In 2022 we have found that renewals for coverage have seen an average increase of 50% and up to 150% for those who don’t have all the security settings required by the carrier. Second, we can refer our clients to our carrier where they receive special discounts due to the security settings and processes we put in place.

The average fine for a HIPAA violation is $1.5 million.    |    1 in 5 employees will click a phishing link.    |    Hacking is a $1 Trillion Industry.    |    66% of small to medium sized businesses have been hacked in the last 12 months.    |    If you have a ransomware attack there's only a 80% chance you will get your data back.    |
