Business Wire
Backbone Consultants, a division of CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN:
CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm helping organizations navigate
emerging security and privacy issues, focusing on creating true
partnerships, today announced a new agreement with a Top 10 life
insurance company, with more than $90 billion in assets to provide
IT audit co-sourcing services.
Financial industries use audits for a number of important
business and compliance requirements from ensuring there is an
effective governance structure to assessing the effectiveness and
efficiency of IT controls and internal processes. CynergisTek’s
audit services are designed to measure organizations against HIPAA,
GLBA, SOX, GDPR, PCI, and general IT audit principles.
Many organizations choose independent audit support to fill gaps
in their existing program, cover shortages of audit staff, or
simply augment internal capabilities to be able to compare results.
Backbone Consultants serve organizations through staff
augmentation, consulting for audit readiness, and providing
independent formal audits. “The Backbone team is steeped in the
experience gained through the start that many of them received with
organizations such as Deloitte, PWC, Ernst & Young, etc.,” said
Mac McMillan, CEO and President of CynergisTek. “I’m continually
impressed with how closely they work with their clients to bring
their expertise in such a seamless fashion, creating a true
partnership.”
“Backbone Consultants bring deep technical skills and industry
understanding to assist our clients in addressing their unique
internal audit needs. We are excited to apply the depth and reach
of our expertise in the financial services industry; partnering
with our clients to help them identify and mitigate the
cybersecurity risks facing their organizations,” said Walter
Zuniga, Managing Partner at Backbone Consultants. He continues,
“Backbone’s experience and knowledge in cybersecurity, data
privacy, and IT auditing coupled with our growing expertise in the
financial services industry creates encouraging growth
opportunities now and as we move into 2022.”
