Risk mitigation
We help clients identify risks that really matter and provide guidance to deploy controls that mitigate the potential for losses.
Cybersecurity VAR · Est. 2004
Enterprise risk mitigation, held to the highest standards.
For more than twenty years, SBS Security has aligned leading security vendors with our client’s operations. Now with AI being rapidly deployed, compliance, cyber resilience, and design control are even more critical factors.
We can independently assess your attack surfaces and posture and determine how to get more security value from the investments you’ve already made.
Twenty+ yearsAssuring protection for both regulated and un-regulated clients since 2004.
Five primary sectorsHealthcare, finance & insurance, hospitality/retail, higher education, industrial.
One control planeRisk, compliance, resilience, and AI integration.
Practice & Vendors
Key factors - one control plane
As a value-added reseller, our impact is focused on four important areas:
01Risk mitigation
02Compliance programs
03Cyber resilience
04AI integration
02
Compliance programs
Obligations are mapped to systems and to evidence. HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 are design targets for the architectures our clients are examined against. They are not badges we rent.
03
Cyber resilience
Resource identification and exposures, early detection, intelligent filtering, operational continuity and user awareness are all parts of a resilient business.
04
AI integration
The agentic world changes everything - rapidly. Controlling access and retrieval of information brings new obligations in the AI universe.

Regulatory frameworks - navigation is crucial
For regulated entities, our technology and product approaches are mapped to the obligations our clients are faced with.
HIPAA is federal law administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Office for Civil Rights enforces the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules that govern protected health information. HHS does not issue a HIPAA certificate.
The HITRUST CSF is issued by the HITRUST Alliance. Certification follows an assessment by an authorized external assessor against that framework, which maps controls to obligations such as HIPAA, NIST, and ISO.
PCI DSS is maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council, the body founded by the major payment card brands. It sets the requirements for organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.
SOC 2 uses the Trust Services Criteria published by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. An independent licensed CPA firm performs the examination and issues the report. The AICPA sets the criteria rather than certifying individual organizations.
Industries
Five primary sectors - a different approach for each.
Each engagement is customized to the specific requirements of the businesses we serve which are primarily in five sectors but often include enterprises with their own unique issues.
Operational, clinical, supplier/partner & insurer systems
The who - the where - the what.
Healthcare and health insurance enterprises have unique safeguard maps and face strict regulatory scrutiny, but clinical operations cannot be interrupted or impeded. SBS is particularly experienced in balancing these requirements while recognizing financial constraints.
Regulatory frameworks, access, reputation & data boundaries
One incident clock across different trusts.
Privileged access, data protection, recovery objectives, forensics and reporting authorities are all facets of a finance or insurance entity’s cybersecurity posture that require close scrutiny. With years of experience in this sector, including having a CSA in-house, SBS Security can assist clients with assuring they are functioning appropriately in this highly-regulated environment.
Customer experience, operational & supplier continuity
Transaction dependency and data integrity.
In the hospitality and retail world, the customer/guest experience is crucial and a hard-won reputation can come undone rapidly. The edges where patron, supplier, logistics and transaction security meet have different issues to be considered.
Campus, research, and records
A campus has many authorities: Registrar systems, research enclaves, affiliated specialty schools and clinics, and an ever-changing, often seasonal student identity that can outlive a term. Faculty, administration and student access introduce their own requirements, including keeping education records inside a boundary that can produce FERPA evidence, and isolating research data before a collaboration tool or model is allowed to see it.
IT, IoT, AI & safety
Whether it's design, manufacturing, logistics or proprietary intelligence, industries face very specific challenges.
Today, in addition to all of the business security issues they've had to face over the years, cybersecurity teams are now working three problems at once.
- Agentic tools that might see both enterprise and operational data.
- Systems that inherit credentials that may not be appropriate.
- Rapid and often disruptive technological deployments to maintain market competitiveness.
All of these issues add to the problem of making the budget fit the solution.
WHY SBS?
In a word - GUIDANCE.
Product developer/vendors typically have only one area of capability and expertise that exceeds those of an experienced Value Added Reseller like SBS – and that is limited to their internal and proprietary new product planning, development and release scheduling.
In all other facets of successful product selection, integration into and effective use within an enterprise environment, SBS offers significant advantages.
We understand the pressure: too many tools, not enough people, and a threat landscape that now includes email, endpoints, SaaS, and AI. There is a better way than buying another product and hoping it sticks.
Sound decisions. Stronger protection. That's who we are.
