Our Services
Practical cybersecurity expertise. Tailored to your business.
Every organization faces different cybersecurity risks, responsibilities, and challenges. Sandhill provides independent security assessments and strategic advisory services to help you understand your risks, address compliance obligations, and make informed decisions.
Whether you’re a small business navigating security requirements or an established organization seeking specialized expertise, our services are tailored to your objectives, priorities, and resources.
Security & Compliance Assessments
Understand your risks. Address your obligations. Protect your business.
Our assessments help organizations identify cybersecurity risks, evaluate existing safeguards, and understand applicable security and compliance requirements.
We provide documented findings and prioritized recommendations that help you demonstrate due diligence, make meaningful improvements, and remain focused on running your business.
1. HIPAA Security Risk Analysis for Private Practices
Protect patient information. Demonstrate due diligence. Focus on patient care.
Healthcare providers have a responsibility to identify and assess risks to electronic protected health information (ePHI). For smaller practices, understanding and documenting those risks can be challenging without dedicated security expertise.
Sandhill helps mental health practices, dental offices, and other independent healthcare providers conduct documented security risk analyses aligned with the HIPAA Security Rule.
Our assessments evaluate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, including practice management systems, access controls, endpoint security, data protection, and contingency planning.
What you’ll receive: A documented security risk analysis, prioritized findings, and practical recommendations to help your practice address identified risks and support its HIPAA compliance responsibilities.
2. SMB Cybersecurity Risk Assessments
Understand your risks. Strengthen your defenses. Protect your business.
Cybersecurity threats affect businesses of every size. Understanding where your organization is vulnerable is the first step toward making meaningful improvements.
Sandhill provides comprehensive, risk-based cybersecurity assessments tailored to small and midsize businesses.
We evaluate security governance, identity and access management, endpoint protection, network and cloud security, data protection, incident response, and recovery capabilities.
Assessments can also help organizations prepare for cyber insurance applications or renewals, evaluate ransomware readiness, and address customer security requirements.
What you’ll receive: A documented assessment of your cybersecurity risks, prioritized findings, and actionable recommendations to strengthen your security posture.
3. PCI DSS Readiness Assessments
Understand your requirements. Protect payment information. Simplify compliance.
Businesses that accept payment cards must understand and address applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements.
For small merchants, determining which requirements apply and preparing the appropriate documentation can be confusing.
Sandhill helps businesses understand their payment environments, determine applicable PCI DSS requirements, evaluate existing security practices, and prepare for compliance validation.
We also provide guidance on Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) applicability and preparation.
What you’ll receive: A PCI DSS readiness assessment, prioritized remediation recommendations, and practical guidance to help prepare your business for its compliance responsibilities.
Sandhill provides readiness and advisory services, not formal PCI DSS certifications or Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) assessments.
4. Microsoft 365 Security Assessments
Protect your identities. Secure your data. Strengthen your cloud environment.
Microsoft 365 provides powerful business capabilities, but its security depends on how your environment is configured and managed.
Sandhill evaluates Microsoft 365 security configurations to identify potential weaknesses and opportunities to improve protection.
Our assessments examine identity and access management, multifactor authentication, administrative privileges, email security, information sharing, data protection, and relevant monitoring capabilities.
Recommendations consider your organization’s existing Microsoft 365 licensing, business needs, and available resources.
What you’ll receive: A documented assessment of your Microsoft 365 security configuration, prioritized technical findings, and practical recommendations for strengthening your environment.
Security Strategy & Risk Advisory
Make informed decisions. Prioritize investments. Strengthen oversight.
Cybersecurity isn’t just a technical responsibility. It influences business strategy, technology investments, regulatory exposure, and organizational resilience.
Sandhill provides independent expertise to help organizations evaluate technology risks, develop practical security strategies, and strengthen cybersecurity governance.
5. Vendor & SaaS Security Reviews
Understand third-party risks. Evaluate technology with confidence. Make informed decisions.
Businesses increasingly depend on third-party technology providers and cloud applications to support critical operations and manage sensitive information.
However, selecting a reputable vendor doesn’t automatically mean its security practices align with your organization’s needs.
Sandhill provides independent security evaluations of prospective and existing technology vendors.
Our reviews consider vendor security practices, independent assurance reports, data protection measures, access controls, service resilience, and relevant solution architecture and integration risks.
Where appropriate, we engage directly with vendors to clarify security practices and potential concerns.
What you’ll receive: A documented vendor risk evaluation, relevant security findings, and actionable recommendations to support informed purchasing, renewal, and risk acceptance decisions.
6. Security Program Roadmaps & Strategic Planning
Align security with your business. Prioritize investments. Build a stronger future.
Effective cybersecurity requires a clear strategy that aligns security investments with business objectives, operational risks, and available resources.
Sandhill helps organizations evaluate their existing security capabilities, establish realistic improvement objectives, and develop actionable cybersecurity strategies.
Our engagements combine current-state assessments, business risk analysis, and strategic planning to identify meaningful opportunities for improvement.
Where appropriate, we also provide security architecture guidance covering identity management, cloud security, technology modernization, and other relevant areas.
What you’ll receive: A cybersecurity strategy and prioritized roadmap identifying recommended initiatives, dependencies, and approximate timeframes to guide future security investments.
7. Executive & Board Cyber Risk Advisory
Independent expertise. Informed decisions. Stronger oversight.
Cybersecurity decisions increasingly affect business strategy, financial performance, regulatory exposure, and organizational resilience.
Sandhill provides independent cybersecurity and technology risk advisory services to business owners, executive leadership teams, boards of directors, and IT leaders.
Our services range from focused consultations and independent second opinions to ongoing advisory relationships supporting executive decision-making and cybersecurity governance.
Depending on your organization’s objectives, we can assist with cybersecurity risk reporting, governance and oversight practices, technology investment evaluations, strategic decisions, and specialized expert consultations.
