Ian Walters is a cybersecurity consultant with over a decade of consulting experience and extensive leadership roles in information security.
Ian specializes in helping healthcare organizations move from checkbox HIPAA compliance to real operational cybersecurity, ensuring patient data is protected while organizations remain audit-ready. This positions him to operate as a Fractional GRC Advisor or vCISO for healthcare organizations that cannot justify hiring a full-time CISO.
His background includes:
- Conducting HIPAA risk analyses and compliance audits for hospitals, healthcare providers, and payers.
- Leading security audits for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services related to Affordable Care Act systems.
- Advising healthcare organizations on third-party risk management, business impact analysis, contingency planning, and security controls.
- Previously served as Information Security Director at a healthcare clearinghouse.
- Completing more than one hundred cybersecurity risk assessments and compliance engagements for healthcare organizations.
- Maintaining long-term relationships with healthcare organizations through multi-year security engagements.
