Understand Your Organization's HB96 Readiness in Just 15 Minutes
The SecureOhio Executive Readiness Review™ is a complimentary executive consultation designed specifically for Ohio political subdivisions. In a brief 15-minute discussion, our cybersecurity advisors meet with your leadership team to evaluate your organization's current cybersecurity readiness and provide an executive-level view of your preparedness for the cybersecurity program expectations established under Ohio House Bill 96 (HB96). This is not a technical assessment, vulnerability scan, or penetration test. Instead, it is a strategic readiness review that helps elected officials, administrators, finance leaders, and technology personnel understand where their organization stands today, identify potential areas of exposure, and determine the next logical steps toward improving cybersecurity maturity and audit readiness.
