Security Assurance

Security controls can require tuning, environments can change, and previously identified weaknesses should be retested before an organization considers the work complete. Tempest Healthcare IT’s Security Assurance phase provides healthcare IT teams with a defined period of follow-up monitoring, validation, and documentation after remediation.

Verify Security Improvements After Implementation

Following remediation, Tempest reviews selected security controls and previously identified areas to determine whether improvements continue to operate as expected.

The objective is straightforward:

Verify the improvement, identify remaining risk, and give your IT team documented evidence of the outcome.

What the Assurance Period Includes

We administer follow-up activities to provide an additional checkpoint between implementing a security change and considering the engagement complete.

Monitoring selected security controls
Policy and configuration tuning
Regression security scanning
Validation of email security controls
Backup restoration testing
Review of administrative access
Review of website security updates
Follow-up validation of remediated findings

What Your Team Receives

Follow-Up Validation

Previously addressed areas are reviewed to help verify that remediation remains effective.

Security Tuning

Selected controls can be adjusted based on observed activity during the assurance period.

Closeout Review

We meet with your team to review outcomes, remaining considerations, and potential next steps.
