Ideal Customer
- TFS's sweet spot is clearly the small-to-mid-sized organization that faces regulatory compliance mandates but lacks in-house IT security or audit expertise.
- On the healthcare side, this includes community hospitals, surgical centers, dental practices, and business associates handling PHI; on the financial side, it includes independent automotive dealerships and small-to-mid-sized CPA firms that want to offer IT audit and SOC capabilities to their own clients without building an internal practice.
Key Differentiators
- TFS differentiates on three dimensions: deep vertical specialization (healthcare, automotive, CPA, insurance rather than general IT), a compliance-first delivery model that documents and measures a client's ongoing journey to compliance with quarterly review cycles, and a commitment to high-quality service at or below market-rate pricing.
- The CPA firm partnering model is particularly distinctive — TFS functions as an outsourced IT audit team for accounting firms that lack the in-house technical expertise to perform IT general controls audits or SOC examinations, enabling those firms to expand their service offerings without building internal capability.
Industries Served
- TFS specializes in four primary verticals: healthcare (including hospitals, surgical centers, dental practices, and business associates handling PHI), automotive dealerships (facing FTC Safeguards Rule/GLBA compliance requirements), insurance companies, and CPA/accounting firms that need IT audit support.
- The company has worked with over 100 healthcare organizations specifically, and also counts nonprofits among its client base.
Service Coverage
- Technical Financial Solutions (TFS) operates as a nationwide U.S.-focused firm, serving clients across 18 states from its headquarters in Greensboro, Georgia.
- The company currently maintains an active client base of over 130 organizations spread across those states, with no indication of international or global operations.
Partnerships
- TFS's two primary named technology partnerships are with Qualys (for vulnerability management, described as the largest security risk and compliance platform in the world) and Infosec IQ/Infosec Institute (for phishing simulation and security awareness training, selected for its healthcare-specific training content and 20+ years of security training experience).
- TFS also operates as a delivery partner to small-to-mid-sized CPA firms, effectively functioning as an outsourced IT audit practice for those firms.
Company Size & Ownership
- TFS was founded on April 1, 2008, by Tony F. Scott, making it approximately 17 years old.
- The team consists of approximately 9–10 employees, with the firm collectively carrying 80+ combined years of IT and auditing experience.
Compliance & Certifications
- TFS delivers services aligned to HIPAA Security Rule (all 54 standards), the HITECH Act, the FTC Safeguards Rule (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), COBIT framework (IT general controls), and SOC 1/SOC 2 examination standards.
- The company's own CEO, Tony Scott, holds the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) credential, and the firm's service methodology is built around the COBIT IT general controls framework.
