About Cyproteck

Healthcare's
Digital Bodyguard™.

We are the team healthcare organizations call when their current IT provider said everything was fine — but something still felt wrong. We don't just find threats. We find what everyone else walked right past.

Our Mission

Security at the Core. Confidence in Every Outcome.

Healthcare organizations are the most targeted sector in cybersecurity — and among the most under-protected. Cyproteck exists to close that gap with intelligence, urgency, and deep expertise that most IT providers simply don't have.

We walked into a Connecticut hospital and found meal-receipt printers outputting patient names and dates of birth on every food tray — a HIPAA violation hiding in plain sight for years. That gap-finder mindset is what we bring to every engagement.

Our Mission Statement
"To deliver technology excellence with security at the core — so the organizations we serve operate with total confidence."

Recognition

From Hartford, CT to Times Square — Twice.

Cyproteck has been featured on the NASDAQ Times Square billboard not once, but twice. For a woman-owned healthcare cybersecurity firm founded in Hartford, Connecticut, this isn't just recognition — it's proof that doing the right work, in the right way, gets seen.

We didn't chase visibility. We chased impact. The awards, the billboard, the national recognition — those are the byproducts of genuinely protecting organizations that protect people.

Cherie Griffith-Dunn — CyberCEO Mom
CyberCEO Mom™ · Healthcare's Digital Bodyguard™
Our Founder

She Built This Because She Saw What Was Being Missed.

Cherie Griffith-Dunn is a former Bank of America executive who traded the boardroom for the front lines of healthcare cybersecurity — not because it was easy, but because it mattered. She watched healthcare organizations fail audits, suffer breaches, and lose patient trust over vulnerabilities that should have been caught years earlier. So she built the firm that would catch them.

Today she leads Cyproteck Technologies as CEO and Founder, bringing a rare combination of corporate executive discipline, deep technical expertise, and the kind of empathy that comes from understanding what's truly at stake when a hospital goes offline or a patient record is exposed.

She is a two-time international bestselling author, a Microsoft Catalyst Award winner, an executive coach, and a speaker who has taught with Girls With Impact for over six years. She presents at venues from CT State Community College Housatonic to national cybersecurity conferences. Her "CyberCEO Mom" brand is as authentic as the work behind it.

Our Team & Culture

Brilliant Minds. Relentless Standards.

The Cyproteck team is built around one non-negotiable: every person on this team must be as committed to protecting healthcare organizations as the clients who trust us with their most sensitive data.

🔍

Gap-First Thinkers

Every team member is trained to look past the obvious. We audit the assumptions, not just the systems. Our instinct is always: what did everyone else miss?

🎓

Certified & Credentialed

Our team holds active certifications across Microsoft Security, Modern Work, Security+, CISSP, Azure, HIPAA compliance, and CMMC 2.0 — and we keep building.

Urgency is Our Standard

We don't move at a consulting pace. 72 hours from audit to active remediation. Because in healthcare, every hour a gap exists is an hour a patient is at risk.

🤝

Radical Transparency

We explain everything in plain language. No jargon designed to confuse. Healthcare leaders deserve to fully understand what's at risk — and we make sure they do.

🌱

Education as Protection

Security technology alone isn't enough. We train staff at every level because a single untrained employee can undo everything a great firewall protects.

👑

Woman-Owned & Proud

Founded and led by a woman of color who refused to accept that the cybersecurity industry couldn't look like her. We represent what leadership looks like now.

Our Promise

When others miss it, we find it.
When others fail, we fix it.

That's not marketing. That's the outcome we have delivered for every client — measured in zero ransomware events, recovered revenue, and audits passed with confidence.
