What We Do

Senior Security Leadership. Real-World Results.

We don't sell software or push products. We bring senior GRC and security leadership directly into your organization, and give your board and executive team a clear, defensible path forward.
Flagship
Senior security leadership on retainer. We own the program end to end: governance, risk oversight, vendor management, board reporting, and audit readiness, delivered through TSS Vault, our client GRC platform.

Virtual CISO (vCISO)

Assess
Know exactly where you stand. HIPAA Security Risk Analysis, posture benchmarking against NIST CSF and CIS Controls v8, and pre-audit readiness reviews, each ending in a scored, prioritized remediation roadmap.

Risk & Readiness Assessments

Build
Build the operating system. Policies, procedures, controls, and accountability structures designed around how your organization actually runs, so audits become predictable events instead of emergencies.

GRC Program Development

Protect
Manage the risk you can't see from the inside. Third-party vendor risk reviews, BAA management, and role-based security awareness training that turns your staff into your first line of defense.

Vendor Risk & Workforce Readiness

Why TSS

Senior Expertise. Honest Advice.

No bloated teams, no upselling, just real consulting.
01

GRC-First Approach

We lead with governance and risk strategy, not tool sales. Your program is built to last, not built around a vendor contract.
02

Direct Senior Access

You work directly with a senior security consultant every time. No junior staff, no hand-offs, no surprises.
03

Healthcare Depth

Hands-on experience running security programs inside hospitals, from critical access facilities to large academic health systems. We understand HIPAA, patient safety, and rural budgets from the inside.
04

Vendor-Neutral Advice

We don't have partnerships tied to any product. Our only goal is giving you the best recommendation for your situation.
In Practice

What This Looks Like in Practice.

Anonymized outcomes from current engagements. Client names withheld by design.
01

Critical Access Hospital, Nebraska

Stood up a complete security program inside one year: vendor risk register, policy governance, MFA rollout, board-level reporting, and HIPAA audit readiness, all delivered through TSS Vault on a community hospital budget.
02

Rural Hospital, Managed Services Transition

Stepped in as virtual CISO during an MSP transition. Documented the handoff gaps, formalized data destruction with the outgoing vendor, and turned the cyber insurance renewal from a checkbox into a full coverage evaluation.
How We Build

Frameworks We Build On. Programs That Hold Up.

We don't pick one framework and call it a program. Each one plays a specific role.
01

NIST CSF 2.0

The backbone. We structure every program around the six CSF functions so leadership sees the whole picture and can track maturity over time.
02

HIPAA Security Rule

The regulatory floor. Every administrative, physical, and technical safeguard is mapped, assessed, and evidenced, so you are ready before OCR asks.
03

CIS Controls v8

The technical playbook. We use the Implementation Groups to decide what your IT team fixes first on a limited budget.
04

ISO/IEC 27001

The governance model. We borrow its management-system discipline for policy structure, risk treatment, and continual improvement, without certification overhead unless you need it.
05

SOC 2

The vendor lens. We use the Trust Services Criteria to evaluate the partners who touch your data, and to prepare you if a customer ever asks for your own report.
06

CMMC 2.0

For the defense supply chain. We map the required practices to your environment and build the evidence trail assessors expect.
