Cyber Security

Determine your organization’s potential for exploitation through comprehensive penetration testing

Protecting your organization against a cyber attack starts with a clear understanding of your ability to prevent a security compromise.

How easy is it for cyber criminals to access your confidential data? Are adequate measures in place to detect a network intrusion? What about social engineering—do you feel confident employees would recognize a phishing attempt? iQ-iA can help you find confident answers to these and other critical cyber security questions through penetration testing—a type of security assessment that simulates an attack on your network.

Access denied? Uncover weaknesses in your network defenses

At iQ-iA, our cyber security experts apply their real-world knowledge of threats to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that could be used to breach your organization’s security, whether it’s at the hands of a malicious hacker or the result of a negligent employee. We’ll analyze internet-facing systems for weaknesses that could leave sensitive information vulnerable to attack, including:

  • Known vulnerabilities or default settings that haven’t been patched or changed
  • Improper system configuration
  • SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other application vulnerabilities
  • Social engineering tactics, such as phishing and malware-infected portable media


Our experts will work closely with you to formulate tests based on your organization’s unique security goals. Once analysis is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report on our findings, with actionable recommendations for addressing vulnerabilities.

Certified experts you can trust

With iQ-iA, you can rest assured that our experts have the experience and credentials needed to carry out safe and methodical penetration tests. Our team includes certified penetration testers who adhere to ethical codes of conduct and work diligently to help your organization maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information systems every step of the way.

Cyber Security

Evaluate your current policies and procedures to ensure programs are up-to-date and working properly

Policy Assessment and Design

Ensure corporate policies keep pace with your dynamic risk environment.

Your organization likely has policies in place aimed at keeping information secure and responding to a data security incident. After all, it’s required by a number of federal, state, and industry regulations. Yet, policies aren’t just a matter of regulatory compliance—they also guide employees to make sound decisions in the face of risk. That’s why it’s so important to ensure the measures you have in place to prevent and respond to data loss remain effective, even as your risks evolve—whether it’s the result of regulatory developments, technological advances, or an expanding threat landscape.

Putting your policies and procedures to the test

Whether you’re looking to strengthen information security policies or evaluate the effectiveness of your incident response plan, iQ-iA can help you ensure the security measures you have in place actually work when needed and are consistent with industry best practices. Our cyber security experts will work closely with you to understand your organization’s unique business needs, so we can determine if the appropriate controls are in place to help your organization keep information secure, while also staying productive.

Sound policies today for peace of mind tomorrow

With iQ-iA, you can feel confident that you’re taking the steps needed to strengthen your organization’s security posture. Once we’ve completed the review process, we’ll analyze our findings to identify issues that could potentially lead to failure, prioritize steps that can be taken to mitigate risk, and assist your organization in developing an actionable remediation plan.

Take steps to safeguard against a data breach and expedite responses should a data loss incident occur

Data Breach Prevention

In a world driven by data, risk can become reality in a matter of moments.

All organizations face the difficult task of safeguarding personal information that is collected and shared across a variety of settings—and is a highly valuable commodity. That’s why having a plan is so important.

At iQ-iA, we understand the impact of a breach extends beyond data and that it takes more than technology to keep it secure. We’re here to help you protect the assets that matter most to you—your brand, your customers’ trust, and your peace of mind.

Studies continue to show insider negligence is a top contributor of data loss.

Employee carelessness. Third-party mishaps. Lost or stolen digital media. In many cases, data loss can be avoided if employees and business associates understand what it takes to keep personal information secure.

Customized to your organization’s unique data security needs, iQ-iA’s data protection program delivers an arsenal of resources designed to help you prevent avoidable data breaches—and to build an actionable response plan should the unavoidable occur. If it does, we’ll be by your side, from discovery to recovery, to ensure your business remains productive, your reputation stays intact, and you’ve achieved the best defensible position.

HIPPA Self Risk Assessment

Evaluate your current policies and procedures to ensure programs are up-to-date and working properly

HIPPA Self Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is the principal mechanism used to measure the quality and effectiveness of the healthcare organization’s risk management process and compliance controls, and to verify that it is meeting federal privacy and security regulations. It is a requirement under the HIPAA Security Rule and HITECH, as well as for meeting Meaningful Use core measures.

iQ-iA Advisory Solutions’ HIPAA Self-Risk Assessment (HSRA) provides a thorough and comprehensive tool to assess privacy and security controls, augmented with iQ-iA’s unique capabilities and end-to-end approach to information security.

The self-guided questionnaire, delivered on iQ-iA’s secure Client Portal, is intended to aid covered entities in identifying key areas of risk and remedying them through practical guidance and best practices. It is based on HIPAA Privacy and Security rules, implementation specifications, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) industry best practices.

The HSRA consists of a preparatory guide, questions to gauge compliance with the Privacy and Security rules and HITECH requirements, a final report, and self-attestation documentation intended to assist in attesting that the organization has conducted required HIPAA assessments, as well as for eligibility of the CMS Meaningful Use incentives. The assessment may be taken repeatedly during a twelve-month period. Clients also have access to regulatory guidance and industry best practice material available through the portal.
