    Small medical companies are an awesome niche. I worked for a company that
    dealt with the medical companies. HIPAA is making people a lot of money.

    Thanks
    Brian

    Subject: Niche Security Market

    Hello all,

    I'm considering opening a security consulting firm specializing in helping
    secure medical companies and complying with government security regulations
    (i.e. HIPAA). My questions are a) is there considerately enough of a market
    to mandate such a specialization and b) does anyone have any experience
    servicing such a niche market and if so are there any best practices,
    information resources, etc. that can help me create a plan that is
    comprehensive enough for medical practitioners to understand the benefits of
    securing their systems. Ideally I plan to target small to medium sized
    institutions that don't staff full time IT personnel. Many thanks to your
    replies.
