Compliance Services
For Regulatory Requirements or Security Frameworks and Standards
Compliance is one of the most important actions an organization can take in order to operate within the law and to optimize cybersecurity. Compliance failures incur severe operating and financial penalties, affect reputations, and bring non-compliant organizations under the regulatory microscope.
Regulatory Requirements. Compliance is most often regulatory in nature, based on federal or state regulations. Most industries today are federally regulated, including the financial, healthcare, defense, hospitality, and education sectors. GLBA, HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS, SOX, and other requirements apply to these industries, and all have extensive security provisions. Even SEC and FTC regulations have incorporated security elements, and certain regulations developed in the European Union have security and privacy requirements that may apply to U.S.-based organizations, such as the GDPR and DORA.
Security Framework Requirements. Compliance may also be a matter of adhering to a security framework or security standard that an organization has adopted to protect their customer data and other sensitive information. Cybersecurity frameworks are offered by NIST, HITRUST, ISO, and similar industry associations.
Although compliance is vitally important, compliance requirements can be overwhelming in their complexity. Which is why working with an experienced partner can save time, budget, energy, and anxiety on your journey to compliance.
