We worry about your compliance so you focus on growing your business

In today’s business world, Compliance is a priority. Compliance typically refers to a company’s ability to protect themselves and their customers from legal obligations, often involving the health, safety, and welfare of others. With the way technology continues to be leveraged and used in business, businesses face new challenges related to IT compliance. Technology, especially IT Compliance, is a major factor in today’s regulatory concerns. Not following regulatory compliance and security standards can result in data breaches. Penalties can be steep and cause productivity and budgetary setbacks.

There are a variety of compliance requirements, each geared towards different objectives. Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), HIPAA and PCI-DSS compliance regulations are just a few of the compliance standards. Each has its own set of requirements and goals. Since organizations are increasing their collection of business data, whether for marketing, sales, or other uses, the data presents a risk for businesses that do not follow or implement compliance guidelines.

A SOX report, also referred to as a SOC report, serves as proof of a company’s reliability. SOC examinations and reports are created by Independent Certified Public Accountants and are essentially a formal checks and balances system. It applies to both American and international companies that have registered with the SEC. There are four types of SOC reports – SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3 and SOC for cybersecurity.

  • PCI DSS

    The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, commonly referred to as PCI DSS, is a regulatory framework designed to protect the payment data of customers whenever it is processed, transmitted, or stored by companies they interact with. The standard increases data security controls related to cardholder data to mitigate the risk of credit card fraud. Typically, It is required that PCI compliance be validated annually or quarterly and is required by the contract for those handling cardholder data, whether you are a start-up or a global enterprise.

  • NIST CSF, NIST RMF, NIST 800-53 & NIST 800-171

    The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) develops standards, guidelines, best practices, and other resources to help build a framework that can be implemented to secure your organization and help organizations reduce risk. NIST CSF, otherwise known as NIST CyberSecurity Framework is minimal security and risk mitigation recommendation for businesses regardless of size or type. It establishes a base set of standards businesses can follow and expand on in the future. NIST also establishes the management of privacy risks, a critical element of modern risk mitigation. The NIST 800-53 documents a series of controls that can be applied to businesses looking to mature their organization while NIST RMF is a Risk Management Framework. Finally, the NIST 800-171 standard allows for “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal System and Organizations”. NIST 800-171 provides cybersecurity requirements for protecting sensitive information. NIST works with Businesses (and consumers) to ensure that the frameworks they build address the key issues that businesses face.

  • CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)

    The CMMC framework is a comprehensive framework released by The Department of Defense (DoD) to protect the defense industrial base from increasingly frequent and complex cyberattacks. CMMC is a framework concerned with safeguarding national security information at its core. CMMC helps ensure that those who worth with the Department of Defense (DoD) secure this information the same way that military departments and government agencies do.
