PROJECTS

Information Security is changing as rapidly as the hacker techniques and new technologies that hit the industry.

Below are just a few of the projects where Yeoman Security helped companies deal with integrating security practices into their strategies to reduce security risks or respond to data privacy regulations.

HIPAA QuickStarts for Small Business

The latest ACA changes are hitting providers and insurance companies hard. The challenges include integrating with state exchanges, migrating to the latest coding changes, and now needing to demonstrate you meet Meaningful Use for funding. And small providers are still faced with whether they meet the standard HIPAA requirements.

For this project, Yeoman Security developed QuickStarts - templates, checklists, and recommendations for best practices in helping small healthcare businesses identify and take steps to meet HIPAA and ACA requirements a step at a time.

Best Practices for Inegrating Security in Agile Projects

Software development efforts often view Information Security as the enemy, and rightly so in many cases. It is difficult to create software products quickly AND integrate in the security methodologies and fix flaws. Add in cutting-edge efforts with mobile apps or agile for even more challenges!

In this project, Yeoman Security identified simple and easy wins to reduce software risks as part of an overall secure development effort. Yeoman also introduced tools to identify security flaws and streamline their fix.

Rapid Security Code Review Tactics

Code reviews are often seen as an effective way of identifying significant security flaws, yet they can also be time consuming and difficult to do.

Here, Yeoman Security created a method to triage the scope and focus of code reviews. With decision trees that narrow the focus on code for specific security flaws, this project offered a faster way to review key code sections.
