Backbone Consultants Enters New Agreement with Top 10 Life Insurance Company to provide expanded IT Audit Services

Backbone Consultants, a division of CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm helping organizations navigate emerging security and privacy issues, focusing on creating true partnerships, today announced a new agreement with a Top 10 life insurance company, with more than $90 billion in assets to provide IT audit co-sourcing services.

Financial industries use audits for a number of important business and compliance requirements from ensuring there is an effective governance structure to assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of IT controls and internal processes. CynergisTek’s audit services are designed to measure organizations against HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, GDPR, PCI, and general IT audit principles.

Many organizations choose independent audit support to fill gaps in their existing program, cover shortages of audit staff, or simply augment internal capabilities to be able to compare results. Backbone Consultants serve organizations through staff augmentation, consulting for audit readiness, and providing independent formal audits. “The Backbone team is steeped in the experience gained through the start that many of them received with organizations such as Deloitte, PWC, Ernst & Young, etc.,” said Mac McMillan, CEO and President of CynergisTek. “I’m continually impressed with how closely they work with their clients to bring their expertise in such a seamless fashion, creating a true partnership.”

“Backbone Consultants bring deep technical skills and industry understanding to assist our clients in addressing their unique internal audit needs. We are excited to apply the depth and reach of our expertise in the financial services industry; partnering with our clients to help them identify and mitigate the cybersecurity risks facing their organizations,” said Walter Zuniga, Managing Partner at Backbone Consultants. He continues, “Backbone’s experience and knowledge in cybersecurity, data privacy, and IT auditing coupled with our growing expertise in the financial services industry creates encouraging growth opportunities now and as we move into 2022.”
