Regulatory compliance has become a full-time worry for many CIOs, Chief Risk Officers, Compliance Officers, and IT Managers (and for good reason). Compliance risk and compliance management is a crucial element of the long-term health of their business. The cost to do business in these industries has increased, but by outsourcing your IT Compliance and IT risk to a professional can be the most effective (and cost-effective) solution. We can help make sure your compliance program and security controls meet or exceeds your industry standards. Non-compliance simply isn’t an option.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)

Regardless of whether you call it Sarbanes-Oxley, SOX, or even the Oxley act it all means the same thing; the highest level of security auditing and security compliance required by law to protect the public from errors committed by financial institutions.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
While the exponential increase in e-commerce is a factor in the increased importance of credit card security, any company that stores credit card information from any customer is mandated by the credit card companies to maintain a specific level of information security with the intention of reducing credit card fraud.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Since 1996, HIPAA compliance has played a key role in the IT infrastructure of every business associated with the healthcare industry. It has become critical to safeguard patient data by enforcing the right procedures and strict technical controls from the initial point of care all the way through to the data center. A data breach or data loss can quickly erode public trust and cost millions of dollars in fines.

Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)
We know a lot about risk management. And the other thing we know is that you should be aware of FISMA. It was enacted to safeguard the economic and national security of the United States by creating specific standards that ensure the security of all data (not just sensitive data) within the federal government. Annual reviews are conducted by the heads of each agency to guarantee clearly defined information security protocols are maintained throughout the entire organization.
