Risk and Compliance
Reimagined

With deep expertise in healthcare cybersecurity risk management, the BALLAST team collaborated with one of the largest owners of acute care hospitals in the U.S. to automate its security risk assessment program. Launched in June of 2017, BALLAST is the go-to tool for over 300 organizations, across multiple industries, for managing risk and compliance.

Developed by a team of risk and security professionals, we have performed hundreds of risk and compliance assessments over the years. We know how difficult and time consuming it can be to manage the process with traditional tools. Spreadsheets and PDFs are insecure and inflexible, while GRC solutions are too complex, with long implementation timelines. So, we took it upon ourselves to reimagine risk assessment and, along the way, have designed a tool that can be rapidly deployed and is simple to use, flexible and scaleable. Try us on for size, and we think that you’ll agree.

BALLAST is proud to be a part of LBMC Information Security and the LMBC family of companies based in Nashville, Tennessee.

”BALLAST was founded in 2017 with one goal - to simplify the risk assessment process.
