Audit Once, Report Many
Many of our team members worked as cybersecurity professionals themselves before joining our team. This insider knowledge has allowed us to design processes with you in mind, ensuring our recommendations are practical and our audits are minimally burdensome.
We achieve this with our certifications to conduct assessments against almost every cybersecurity framework that exists—something that few other firms can claim. Because of this, we can do any type of audit you need, while also simplifying the process by auditing once and issuing multiple reports. That’s just one of the ways our solution-minded team makes processes easier for our clients.

CASE STUDY: Healthcare Technology Client
Cost Savings of over $550,000
Problem: Our client asked LBMC to help them reduce its audit fatigue and cyber assessment costs while also improving the quality of its overall controls environment by developing and executing a plan to consolidate the number of audits that are conducted across the enterprise.
Approach: LBMC began the effort by assisting our client in documenting the number and types of cyber audits that occur across the organization. LBMC then identified and designated a client service team to meet with the client monthly to ensure clear communication and strong coordination between both parties.
First, LBMC uncovered our client commissions more than 10 separate SOC reports on various business units each year. To reduce the audit burden and cost of these assessments, LBMC worked with company representatives to identify a set of common controls that are conducted at the enterprise level that apply to most of the individual business units and systems that are assessed annually.
Completing an Enterprise Controls SOC report allows LBMC and our client to rely on and leverage the controls that are shared across all environments going forward, greatly reducing the audit costs and time required by business leaders and control owners to support each audit.
Next, LBMC conducted an enterprise-level HITRUST assessment, allowing the company’s other business units that commission HITRUST assessments to “inherit” controls from the enterprise report. This approach reduced the number of controls that needed to be assessed for HITRUST within the various business units by 972 controls in a single year.
Lastly, LBMC worked to consolidate and synch up the testing done on the company’s various PCI environments. By aligning assessment dates, strategically combining the cardholder data environments where possible, and utilizing LBMC’s extensive PCI expertise to identify scope reduction strategies, the company was able to save more than $175,000 on its annual PCI assessments.
Solution: As a result of LBMC’s work, our client has experienced over $550,000 in cost savings, including:
- $35,000 per future SOC report
- $159,000 in HITRUST audit fees
- $179,000 in PCI assessment costs
Our team helped make the audit process easier, less burdensome, and over time, less costly, while also improving the quality of each assessment and the client’s cybersecurity posture across the enterprise.
