SCM Technologies runs security gap assessments, hardening, and audit-ready documentation for businesses that handle sensitive data but don't have a security team: dental practices, law offices, CPA firms, and local operators who can't justify a full-time hire.
Most owners we talk to know security matters. What they don't have is the time to check whether their email is spoofable, whether an old employee's login still works, or whether their patient and client files would hold up under an actual audit.
That's the work. A plain-language review of what's actually exposed, and a fix list ranked by what matters first.
Each tier builds on the last. Most clients start with the first.
A structured review against NIST CSF, HIPAA, or PCI DSS: a findings report and a fix list, ranked by risk and written so you can act on it without a translator.
We fix the specific things the assessment finds: email authentication, access controls, backup verification, monitoring setup.
Ongoing log review, a plain-language monthly report, and a direct line to ask questions before they become incidents.
Every assessment ends with a document like this: what's exposed, how bad it is, and what to do about it, in that order. No vendor names to memorize, no acronyms without an explanation.
This example is illustrative, but the pattern is common. A client we reviewed had this exact gap open for four months before anyone noticed.
Publish DMARC with enforcement, align SPF, and add DKIM signing to the domain's mail flow.
Assessments are led directly by Stephen Matthews, SCM Technologies' principal assessor, backed by hands-on SOC and MDR operations experience.
