GENERIC IT VENDORS — WE KNOW YOUR WORLD
What We Do
Three Pillars. One Practice.
Every engagement we deliver falls into one or more of these disciplines — and most organizations need all three.
🔒

Cybersecurity

Risk assessments, HIPAA Security Rule compliance, policy development, incident response planning, and vCISO advisory services. We find the gaps before attackers do.

📋

Preparedness

Emergency operations planning, COOP development, hazard vulnerability analysis, CAD and ePCR downtime procedures, and tabletop exercise facilitation.

⚙️

Continuity

Keeping your organization operational through disruption — tested downtime procedures, staff training, drills, and after-action review to close gaps before the next event.

Who We Serve
Built for Organizations Where Failure Has Consequences.
We work with two distinct markets that share one critical vulnerability: they protect people, and they can't afford to go dark.
🚒

Fire & EMS Agencies

County and municipal fire rescue, EMS agencies, and 911 dispatch centers. We build cyber downtime procedures, test your response plans, and close the gaps that leave fire suppression, EMS transport, and CAD operations exposed.

🏥

Ambulatory Healthcare

Physician groups, urgent care centers, dental practices, behavioral health, and specialty clinics. We deliver HIPAA risk assessments and security programs built for practices without in-house IT security staff.

🏛️

County Emergency Management

County emergency management directors and programs. We facilitate tabletop exercises, develop and update emergency operations plans, and build cyber-specific continuity procedures into your existing COOP framework.

🔐

Healthcare & Public Safety Adjacent

Long-term care facilities, FQHCs, behavioral health networks, and public safety communications centers. If you handle PHI or life-safety systems and lack dedicated cybersecurity staff — we work with organizations like yours.

Why Code 4
is Different.

Most cybersecurity consultants understand networks. Most emergency management consultants understand disasters. Almost none of them have run calls, worked a dispatch center, coordinated statewide critical infrastructure, and published doctoral research on 911 center vulnerabilities.

Code 4 Consulting exists because the gap between cybersecurity and operational reality is where organizations get hurt. We bridge it.
