Business Wire
CynergisTek has signed a new contract with a
well-known philanthropic non-profit to provide a security risk
assessment and remediation support in 2022.
CynergisTek (NYSE American: CTEK), leading cybersecurity,
privacy, compliance, and IT audit firm helping organizations in
highly regulated industries navigate emerging security and privacy
issues, announces it has signed another new six-figure engagement,
this time to provide a security risk assessment with remediation
support for a well-known philanthropic non-profit located on the
west coast.
Through this engagement, CynergisTek will be able to help the
organization assess its current cybersecurity programs and
defenses, provide advisory and mitigation support building
organizational resilience associated with the risks of today, and
validate that their programs are ready to stand up to the current
threat landscape. “We are seeing momentum in the market and
continued demand for both our consulting and managed services
offerings from new and existing clients,” says Mac McMillan, CEO
and President of CynergisTek. “Our goal is both short and long term
growth through partnerships and new contracts such as this one are
key components of our go-forward strategy.”
CynergisTek has one of the most thorough assessments in the
industry based on appropriate frameworks. The company’s technical
testing services take an offensive security approach, turning
simulated attacks into proactive evaluations to determine
weaknesses in defenses and to validate whether an organization’s
people, processes, and technology are working as expected. With
CynergisTek’s addition of new services focused on proactive
vulnerability identification and evolvement of its CAPP/RPP and
other managed services, the company has provided more flexibility
and options for designing support for clients’ needs that more
closely align with where their current programs are and what their
goals and strategic objectives are. The goal is to build stronger
resilience and readiness through a more proactive approach to
managing risk to help organizations meet today’s threats. “Our
mission has always been to build a strong cybersecurity and privacy
partnership with clients and to provide the solutions and know-how
needed to make a positive impact to strengthen our clients’
defenses against adverse events like ransomware attacks, and our
team continues to evolve our services as well as our capabilities,”
said Walter Zuniga, Managing Partner at Backbone Consultants, a
Division of CynergisTek.
