    Dynamic Security Leader: Driving Innovation and Trust through Simplicity and Efficiency

    Come join us for conversation about bridging the gap between compliance and security. William Harmer, CISSP, CISM, CIPP of Craft Ventures is hosting Srikanth Chavali of Kitecyber, Josh Mullis, CISSP of Productiv, and myself (Drew Danner, CISSP, PMP) of BD Emerson to give our thoughts, ideas, and opinions on what we are seeing out in the wild. Thank you for Kitecyber for sponsoring the webinar. Spoilers: - We do not have the answers, but perhaps we agree on where companies can start - Not one of us should be talking about CrowdStrike (may they rest) - William's comic-con lore will be visible - We all seem to have a sense of humor.

    Excited to share our recent work with Titan Intake, a digital health innovator transforming patient record processing. Their platform swiftly handles ePHI while ensuring #HIPAA compliance and meeting control objectives of SOC 2. Titan Intake sought BD Emerson’s help to navigate SOC 2 compliance and enhance HIPAA controls. We began with a comprehensive gap assessment, integrated #Vanta for streamlined compliance, and implemented security measures to enhance their current security posture to go above the compliance requirements. Thanks to our efforts, Titan Intake has now achieved SOC 2 compliance after validating their design for security with their Type I. As they immediately begin their monitoring window, BD Emerson will help Titan Intake mature their procedures, processes, and technical controls to exceed the requirements of SOC 2. Curious about the details? Check out the full case study here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dXFh-RVW. #DataSecurity #Healthcare #Compliance #HIPAA #SOC2 #BDEmerson #TitanIntake #TechTransformation

    Dynamic Security Leader: Driving Innovation and Trust through Simplicity and Efficiency

    Another awesome win for BD Emerson CPA and the audit team led by Traviss Cherry, CPA. We love that Vanta calls us out as a service partner for the consulting side already. Now we're ecstatic to be featured as an audit partner through BD Emerson CPA. With Vanta's new series C announcement (https://lnkd.in/dUFR7ppt), we know the product team will continue to add rich features and functions to make the platform more and more incredible with each release. Vanta is (despite the naysayers) working on making compliance meet security in the middle so that companies are not building checkbox compliance. On that topic, I have the honor of speaking in an upcoming webinar with Srikanth Chavali of Kitecyber, @William Harmer, CISSP, CISM, CIPP of Craft Ventures, and Josh Mullis, CISSP of Productiv on bridging the gap between compliance and real security. More info to follow. Thank you to our awesome partner team Christopher Sergi, Jacob Carlson, Jared Dimond (the FLOW), Kove Young for making this happen.

    Ever wonder how to cut through the compliance maze without breaking the bank 🤔 ? Here's the inside scoop: tackling SOC 2 and ISO 27001 together can be a game-changer. 💰 Save on costs: we all know compliance can be a budget buster. But by bundling SOC 2 and ISO 27001, you can leverage the expertise of consultants for both standards at once, slashing costs significantly. Why pay double when you can streamline and save? Plus, your internal team spends less time in the compliance trenches, freeing them up to focus on what they do best. ⏰ Save on time: compliance isn’t just costly; it's a time sink. By syncing up SOC 2 and ISO 27001, you streamline documentation and audits, cutting out redundancy. Imagine fewer audits and faster compliance – sounds like a win-win, right? So, you can hit two birds with one stone and reduce auditor requests dramatically. 🔄 Reduce redundancies: both ISO 27001 and SOC 2 demand robust security measures like access controls and incident response plans. By unifying these efforts, you simplify processes and eliminate repetitive tasks. This unified approach ensures you meet both standards efficiently, keeping your operations smooth and secure. Ready to dive deeper? Follow the link to our website to read more on this topic and discover how we can help you streamline your compliance journey 👉  https://lnkd.in/dAMgEqBx
