White Wolf Security Consulting
Boutique Consulting for Security Advisory Services

Adhering to compliance requirements can be an overwhelming endeavor for any organization. Especially in the healthcare landscape, complying with ever-changing local, national, and international regulations is a challenging task that requires expertise, time, and resources, which often healthcare organizations lack. Coming to their rescue is Massachusetts-based White Wolf Security Consulting, a HITRUST certified CSF practitioner that assists clients in developing their policies, processes, standard, and other supporting artifacts in alignment with regulatory standards as well as US State Privacy Law regulations. White Wolf provides clients with advisory services across security, risk management, security architecture, and regulatory compliance, incorporating industry-recognized frameworks such as HITRUST CSF, NIST, RMF, ISO, and SABSA. “We strive to provide the very best guidance to our clients in all the services we offer to help them protect their data, reputation, trust, and bottom line,” says Trevor A. Machado, Founder and Chief Security Advisor, White Wolf Security Consulting.

The company’s team of experts brings over 28 years of experience within cybersecurity across many verticals (healthcare, financial services, insurance, and retail), as well as a deep understanding and background in physical security controls. White Wolf’s security advisory service is designed to help an organization establish its overall information security and risk management programs. The service includes staff augmentation, for instance, providing a virtual CISO to define and fulfill the business drivers and objectives for the organization, defining their policies and processes, writing standard operating procedures lay out the foundational elements of the overall security program. Further, White Wolf’s security advisory service instills a risk-based methodology at all levels of the organization, translates that into security objectives and requirements, and then fulfills those requirements while conducting independent assessments of the overall security posture.

As a part of its risk management service, White Wolf’s team assesses a client’s risk exposure while ensuring that it fits their risk tolerance and provides an actionable mitigation strategy for remediation of identified risks. This allows organizations to apply processes and controls in alignment with their distinct environments and business needs. Therefore, when an organization is looking to enter a new market, for instance, the European market, and thus need to comply with GDPR, they can plan a clear roadmap pertaining to the controls and processes that need to be put in place. White Wolf’s risk management service also includes conducting third party assessments for their client’s organizations to ensure they are doing their due diligence and maintaining certifications such as HITRUST CSF.

When it comes to the security architecture service, White Wolf assists clients in developing their information security program, roadmap, and timelines to support their business and regulatory drivers. This takes people, process, and technology into consideration, ensuring that all aspects of the information security program are addressed. Finally, to illustrate White Wolf’s regulatory and compliance service, Machado mentions the case of a client that was looking to recertify their HITRUST certification but were having problems due to resource constraints caused by mergers and acquisitions. White Wolf was able to help the client obtain their HITRUST certification with minimal corrective action plans and, consequently, mature their overall information security program based on the gaps that had been identified during pre-assessment. The client was also able to free up their internal resources and instead focus on product enhancements, new service offerings, and ongoing support of existing services.

White Wolf collaborates with organizations of all sizes ranging from startups to Fortune 50 companies, enriching their existing practices and processes, incorporating new approaches and controls to ensure their information security program stay in alignment with and ideally ahead of the business objectives and regulatory drivers that are applicable to the organization. Moving ahead, White Wolf aims to continue bringing value to clients through maintaining and expanding its knowledge and expertise in information security, risk management, and applicable regulatory drivers.
