Social Engineering

Most security incidents start with a person: a convincing email, a phone call, a message that seems legitimate.

Technical controls matter, but so does knowing where your team is vulnerable to these approaches. We test that layer through realistic simulations, so you know where the risks are before someone else finds them.

Glacier Eye Clinic project
Glacier Eye Clinic
HealthcareSecurity AdvisoryHIPAA Compliance

Case study

Glacier Eye Clinic partnered with Adversis to meet HIPAA cybersecurity requirements, protect patient information, and strengthen business resilience, discovering that their most effective security improvements came from optimizing existing technology and training their team, not purchasing new systems.

Challenge
Glacier Eye Clinic's leadership needed to ensure HIPAA compliance and protect patient information while making smart decisions about technology spend. As a healthcare practice focused on patient care, they needed security improvements that wouldn't disrupt operations, and guidance they could actually understand and implement.
Solution
Adversis conducted a security risk assessment that went beyond baseline HIPAA Security Rule requirements, examining realistic risks across the business environment. The team translated technical findings into clear language and created detailed project plans the administrative staff could execute. Training addressed real threats like business email compromise, while configuration changes to existing technology eliminated previously unknown risks.
Result
0New hardware purchases required. The clinic achieved compliance and strengthened their security posture through configuration optimization, process improvements, and targeted training.

FAQ

Straight answers to what teams usually ask us before we start. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.

Ask us something else

  • Mostly B2B SaaS companies, typically Series A or B, with a small security team or none at all. The common thread: enterprise buyers are asking hard security questions, and the team needs help answering them.

  • Keep using them. They're great at automating evidence collection and getting you through your SOC 2 audit. We pick up where they stop: the live security call with your prospect's team, the custom questionnaire questions that fall outside your audit scope, and pen testing that holds up when a buyer's security team actually reads the report. Instead of your CTO spending weeks figuring out what enterprise buyers expect and how to talk about your security posture, you hand it to us. Compliance platforms get you the certificate. We get you through the security review.

  • Yes. But we'll probably ask what's driving the need, because a pen test is often part of a bigger picture (a deal in motion, a compliance requirement, a buyer's security review). If you genuinely just need a clean report, we can do that, validation and retesting included. If there's more to untangle, we'll tell you.

  • Yes, and we can get on calls with your buyer's security team when needed. We've been on the other side of those calls, running vendor evaluations. We know what they're actually trying to learn and how to answer in a way that builds confidence. We've also been on both sides of a breach and can justify when controls make a difference.

  • Most engagements kick off within 2-3 weeks. If you have a deal on the line and need to move faster, tell us. We'll see what we can do.

  • Both. Some clients need a pen test or SOC 2 sprint and we're done. Others want a retained advisor they can pull in for security reviews, architecture questions, or board prep. We structure it around what you actually need.

  • It depends on scope, but most companies spend less on a full engagement than they lose in delays. A pen test or gap analysis starts in the low five figures. A broader security story or compliance push scales from there based on what you actually need.

  • That's most of our clients. We act as your security bench: fractional expertise you can tap without hiring a full team. When you're ready to build internally, we can help with that transition too.

Get started

Whether it's a questionnaire, a certification, or a pen test, we'll scope what you actually need.
