Vision
Beyond Risk Reduction
Our Story
As frontline cybersecurity experts and auditors for 25 years and counting, we know that the biggest compliance issue facing companies isn’t the tools they’re using. Among the companies that we’ve audited, most had policies for compliance but weren’t practicing them. Most companies had to scramble to get ready for audits, which not only showed disorganization but also an inability to show proof of compliance. We came to believe that there was a better way, and that we could help companies make cybersecurity compliance part of their culture. That was how Omnistruct came about.
With the rate of ransomware attacks and data breaches, we believe that most companies are too reliant on technology to protect them. We believe that true cybersecurity goes beyond simple compliance and way beyond what technology can do. We use the NIST CSF Framework which allows us to integrate with other compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI, or CMMC.
When these companies received a questionnaire from their biggest customer, or when a cyber-insurance provider started asking them tough questions they didn’t have good answers for, we realized that too many companies didn’t have cybersecurity programs at all and were just spending money on cybersecurity band-aids instead of following a comprehensive plan. It soon became clear where we could provide the biggest value.
Today, Omnistruct builds, maintains and provides proof of cybersecurity compliance for companies in a way that helps them develop a comprehensive cybersecurity program that’s not just an afterthought or a failsafe, but an essential and integrated part of their company culture.
Our Leadership
Co-founded by President John Riley and CEO George Usi, Omnistruct’s mission is to help the other 98% of businesses prepare for when cyber compliance matters by offering simple cyber security and privacy programs that work. These programs include the new US guidelines in cyber security and privacy, designed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), that are designed to go well beyond technology to reduce the risk of today’s sophisticated hackers.
