WE HELP BALANCE OUT A RELIANCE ON TECHNOLOGY. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools are leveraged by both attackers and defenders. When such parity is achieved, the advantage is with the attacker, as the attacker only has to be correct once to successfully effectuate an exploit, whereas defenders must be correct at all times. Cybersecurity will, therefore, always be a human battle, and both ML and AI have to be used as force multipliers — not as a replacement. OUR EXPERIENCE IS A DIFFERENTIATOR. Our efforts have helped authorities on the state and federal levels track down cybercriminals and unveil numerous zero-day vulnerabilities . While attribution is not a primary objective, we are proud of our record of bringing bad actors to justice where we can. It’s our way of helping the community. This connection at the state level and with the FBI at the federal level makes us a strong partner to have on your side. WE’RE ALWAYS ON, AND WE ALWAYS COLLABORATE. Backing up our team of 24/7 threat hunters, our consulting team has over 250 years of combined cybersecurity experience in a variety of industries. The collaboration of our offensive (pen testing) and defensive (security operations center) teams drives instant value that keeps our threat hunters on the cutting edge.

Staying compliant while actually improving security? That’s even harder. With overlapping federal and state laws, growing enforcement, and evolving standards like HIPAA, NIST, and CMMC, it’s easy to feel buried in red tape. Pondurance ‘s cyber advisors and consultants have deep experience in understanding and helping our customers comply with all of the regulations to which they are subject. From HIPAA/HITECH for health information, to providing general NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) compliance for any organization with PII under the jurisdiction of the FTC, to government contractors requiring CMMC 2.0 compliance, to financial institutions subject to NYDFS and SEC security compliance regulations, Pondurance can provide services to evaluate security risks, determinate proper remediation actions, and identify compliance gaps with the complex web of federal and state laws and regulators, Challenges & Pain Points Hard to find a trusted, efficient compliance advisor Struggle to keep up with ever-changing regulatory landscape with overlapping requirements across federal and state laws Compliance for compliance sake is a missed opportunity to add value and is often viewed as expensive overhead Logistical complexities — such as dispersed teams, endpoints distributed across locations and networks, manual processes, legacy tech, and new digitization initiatives — constantly add new challenges Lack internal expertise to plan, implement, and maintain compliance How Pondurance Advisory Services Can Help Strategic cyber leadership with vCISO and incident response services Proprietary risk-based methodology builds resilience and trust with stakeholders Access to world-class DFIR aligned with your cyber insurer and leading privacy law firms Award-winning TDIR platform for MDR, SIEM & ASM to rapidly detect and disrupt threats Reduce costs with a right-sized cybersecurity strategy Build a scalable, audit-ready compliance program PONDURANCE COMPLIANCE BENEFITS Peace of mind in your cybersecurity compliance Veteran cyber advisory team Independent compliance documentation Real time threat detection and response Log aggregation and retention World-class DFIR Veteran cyber advisory team Our advisory and compliance services team have experience in assisting organizations with security, privacy and data breach compliance obligations that span federal and state laws and provide documentation and proof to numerous regulatory and enforcement bodies including the FTC, SEC, HHS/OCR and state AGs REGULATIONS Navigate your unique and always changing regulatory landscape At Pondurance, we incorporate a risk-based methodology into our compliance professional services. This will ensure that you prioritize actions that both ensure regulatory compliance while also taking steps to effectively better protect regulated data from access by malicious actors. Most organizations that operate in the U.S. are subject to both federal and state laws and regulations related to the protection of regulated data such as PII and PHI. These cybersecurity, privacy and data breach laws form a complex myriad of sometimes conflicting requirements that require compliance by your organization. The following is an non-exhaustive list of the most common of these regulations. HIPAA/HITECH HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and accountability Act of 1996, combined with HITECH, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, provide requirements for any and all organizations including covered entities and business associates that acquire, store, transmit, or otherwise work with protected health information (PHI) of their patients to protect such data. The specific requirements for such protection are laid out in the HIPAA Security Rule, HIPAA Privacy Rule, and the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule as written for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR). These rules can be enforced both by OCR themselves as well as by state Attorneys General (AGs) who can assess fines, penalties, and corrective action plans. Download HIPAA/HITECH info sheet NIST The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. It provides a structured approach to risk management by focusing on five core functions: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. In the latest version CSF 2.0, it has further added a new function to focus on security governance. The CSF aligns with security requirements of well known and widely accepted BIST cybersecurity standards suc as SP 800-171 Rev. 2 and SP 800-172. The CSF uses a risk-based approach and Pondurance uses it as a foundation for its proprietary risk-based methodology and MyCyberScorecard software risk-scoring tool. Download NIST info sheet CMMC 2.0 CMMC 2.0 is a revised version of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program designed to maintain a high level of quality of cybersecurity in the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) supply chain. It streamlines requirements and aligns them with the NIST CSF framework. The intent of CMMC 2.0 is to protect sensitive information, improve cybersecurity resilience, and ensure accountability by all members of the DOD supply chain. CMMC 2.0 is mandatory for all DoD contractors and subcontractors who handle FCI or CUI Our CMMC capabilities SEC breach notification provision The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2024 adopted amendments to Regulations S-P requiring organizations subject to their authority to notify individuals affected by certain types of data breaches. Specifically they stated a requirement for financial firms to notify individuals whose sensitive customer information was, or is reasonably likely to have been, accessed or used without authorization within 30 days of becoming aware that unauthorized access to or use of such customer information has or is reasonably likely to have occurred. State Privacy & Breach Notification Laws Most US states and several territories have passed laws requiring organizations that handle personal, private data of their citizens to take steps to provide reasonable security for this data, among other provisions, and to notify these individuals if their personal data was exposed in a data breach. These laws engender significant complexity for organizations that are subject to more than one jurisdiction because their definitions, rules and requirements are often inconsistent and in some cases conflicting. Additionally, organizations will have to comply with both the state regulations as well as any federal regulations regarding security, privacy and breach notification of personal data of their consumers. PCI-DSS PCI-DSS is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, a set of security rules and best practices that organizations must follow to protect cardholder data. The purpose of this standard is to reduce fraud and data breaches. This standard is enforced by a non-governmental body called the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). Download PCI info sheet FTC Section 5 authority The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has authority via Section 5 to enforce requirements that organizations provide “reasonable security” for the personal data of their consumers. In 2022, The FTC provided notice that they would carry out additional scrutiny for data breaches. Per this notice, they stated that “regardless of whether a breach notification law applies, a breached entity that fails to disclose information to help parties mitigate reasonable and foreseeable harm may violate Section 5 of the FTC Act.” WHY PONDURANCE Pondurance is the only MDR solution built to eliminate breach risks Consumer-class user portal Track tickets, view real time metrics, and collaborate with SOC analysts through a single, streamlined and intuitive user interface.

Check out these Frequently Asked Questions Frequently asked questions Comparison campaign Arctic Wolf PHI FAQs General 1. Is alert triage purely automated — or does a human SOC analyst add insight? Every alert in the Pondurance platform is reviewed and triaged by a certified, U.S.-based SOC analyst who understands your unique risk profile and then works directly with your team. Automation supports our process — but real humans add the insight and context needed to reduce false positives and alert fatigue. 2. What happens when a threat is detected in your environment — and how fast? When a threat is detected, our SOC analysts jump into action. We immediately validate the threat to minimize false positives, contextualize it based on global threat intelligence, prioritize it based on your unique risk, and take immediate action to disrupt and contain it when possible. Then, we alert your team with actionable next steps. Unlike some providers, we don’t just send alerts — our SOC analysts help your team contain and resolve threats in real time. 3. Will you have direct access to dedicated U.S.-based SOC analysts? With Pondurance, you interact directly with the certified SOC analysts who are monitoring threats to your environment 24/7. They’ll get to know your name, your business, and your unique risk profile. While a “concierge” model sounds nice, it's really just a way to reduce the number of certified analysts and reduce the ratio of SOC analysts to customer accounts. 4. Can the vendor support your overall compliance and risk management needs? Pondurance was built to help mid-market organizations who handle PHI and PII meet all their cybersecurity needs and regulatory requirements, without straining internal resources. These organizations need more than MDR for threat detection, analysis and remediation and top-tier digital forensics and incident response (DFIR). Our full suite of advisory services — including risk assessment, penetration testing, compliance audits, and more — ensure you can eliminate risk efficiently and effectively, with one trusted provider. 5. How do you ensure you’re not overpaying for capabilities you don’t need? Pondurance tailors your solution based on size, risk, and existing tools you’re already using. Our flexible, volume-based pricing means you only pay for what you need — not bloated features you’ll never use. Unlike some providers who will sell you a one-size-fits-all “black box” MDR. Our platform includes unlimited user seats, your team can scale and collaborate freely — without tracking licenses or worrying about rising costs. STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
