Navigating the complexities of regulatory standards requires a comprehensive approach to compliance and auditing. Our services extend beyond mere adherence to standards; we offer a strategic partnership that includes regular audits, risk assessments, and continuous monitoring to ensure your business not only achieves but maintains compliance over time.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Any organization that deals with protected health information (PHI) must ensure that all the required physical, network, and process security measures are in place and followed. HIPAA compliance is crucial in the healthcare sector as it helps in maintaining patient trust by safeguarding their personal health information. Our services are designed to guide healthcare providers, insurers, and their business associates through the complex HIPAA compliance process, ensuring that they meet all regulatory requirements and protect patient data effectively.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to all entities that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. This compliance is vital for businesses in the retail and e-commerce sectors to protect against payment card fraud and breaches. Adhering to PCI DSS requirements involves implementing robust security measures, including encryption, access control, and regular security testing. Our expertise in PCI DSS compliance ensures that your business minimizes the risk of data breaches, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of cardholder information, and building customer trust.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) focuses on improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures, with a significant emphasis on financial reporting. Although primarily a financial regulation, SOX has substantial implications for IT compliance, as it requires companies to establish and maintain internal controls over electronic financial reporting systems. Our SOX compliance services help ensure that your IT systems are secure, auditable, and capable of producing accurate, reliable financial data, which is crucial for protecting investors, maintaining public confidence in the securities markets, and avoiding severe penalties for non-compliance.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard for implementing cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), which includes over 300,000 companies in the supply chain of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). It’s primarily aimed at protecting sensitive unclassified information that resides in the industry’s networks and systems.
CMMC is unique because it integrates various cybersecurity standards and best practices into a comprehensive framework. It categorizes cybersecurity practices at five maturity levels, ranging from basic cyber hygiene to advanced. This tiered model ensures that contractors can meet varying levels of cybersecurity appropriate to the sensitivity of the information they handle.
Key aspects of CMMC include:
Depending on their CMMC level, contractors must implement specific cybersecurity practices, processes, and capabilities.
The primary goal is to protect CUI against cyber threats.
To do business with the DoD, contractors need to be independently assessed and certified at the appropriate CMMC level.
