About Chris Stefan

With over two decades of experience in IT infrastructure management, cybersecurity, and risk assessments, I’ve built my career on helping organizations navigate the complex world of regulatory compliance and cybersecurity. My passion lies in translating security frameworks into actionable strategies—whether it’s ensuring HIPAA compliance for healthcare organizations, automating governance processes, or developing effective security awareness training programs.

As a CISSP-certified professional, I specialize in risk management, compliance tracking, and security training—helping businesses and healthcare organizations strengthen their defenses in an evolving threat landscape. My expertise spans HIPAA, healthcare risk management, and government regulatory requirements, ensuring organizations not only meet compliance standards but also build a culture of security resilience.

Bridging Compliance, Security, and Business Operations

One of my key focus areas is compliance tracking in healthcare GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance). Through my experience, I’ve seen firsthand how organizations struggle to stay ahead of audits and regulatory updates. That’s why I focus on simplifying compliance workflows, leveraging platforms like Eramba to automate HIPAA-related security processes and reduce operational burdens.

But compliance is just one piece of the puzzle. I also work on automating GRC tasks, ensuring that security teams can scale their efforts without drowning in manual processes.

Security Awareness Training That Works

I believe that the human element is one of the most overlooked aspects of cybersecurity. That’s why I’ve developed lean-driven security awareness programs – bite-sized, continuous improvement strategies that help organizations reinforce security behaviors, reduce human error, and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.

My training materials focus on:

  • Monthly security awareness slide decks (with action items and quizzes)
  • Weekly micro learning sessions for IT security professionals
  • Customized HIPAA security awareness training, with a focus on small-scale medical, dental practices, and telehealth providers.

Security awareness shouldn’t feel like another corporate checkbox—it should empower teams to take ownership of cybersecurity.

Building a Security-First Future

I am passionate about helping organizations create sustainable security cultures that keep sensitive data safe and align with government regulatory standards. Small-scale healthcare practices often lack the resources to build a robust security program—that’s where structured, actionable security training makes a difference.

Veteran. Technologist. Security Advocate.

As a U.S. Veteran, I understand the value of structured problem-solving, operational discipline, and continuous learning—all critical components of a strong cybersecurity mindset. I bring that same mission-driven approach to everything I do in tech, compliance, and business. I’m always eager to collaborate and share knowledge. Let’s build a more secure future together.
