Security audits for San Diego healthcare, life sciences and tech companies
San Diego has a strong base of healthcare providers, life sciences and biotech companies, software firms and professional services, many of them growing fast and answering customer security questionnaires.
We review the systems those questionnaires ask about: Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, cloud access, endpoints, backups and the network. Each finding comes with the evidence you need to answer customers, auditors and insurers.
We plan on-site days in San Diego County for kickoffs and findings reviews, and run most testing remotely with read-only access.
