Expert help that lets you effortlessly navigate the complex world of compliance and cybersecurity
Remove the chore of keeping up with changes to compliance and the ever-shifting world of security from your business, without risking everything.
Compliance and security are no joke
Industries everywhere are increasingly bound by regulations aimed at protecting your customers and their data, as well as helping to ensure that your business is safe should anything happen.
But it’s not easy. Regulations change all the time. They’re different not only from state to state in the US but from country to country worldwide.
When you add to that, hackers trying their best to get into your systems to steal your data (using a series of constantly evolving attack styles and approaches), remaining safe and compliant isn’t an easy feat. You need someone who has the experience and training required to stay on top of all the little details that keep things running smoothly.
Help for all your cybersecurity and regulatory needs
You can’t thrive without someone who’s been in the industry a long time. Someone who understands the challenges of both compliance and security. One wrong move because someone doesn’t know the intricacies and your business is in trouble.
We’re here to help.
We’ve been working closely with businesses across a wide range of industries for more than 20 years to help them stay compliant and protected from cybercriminals. We’ve been in the trenches, staying current on what’s happening with regulations, where these regulations apply, and what can happen if you’re not compliant.
Along with that, our experts have been deeply involved in cybersecurity the whole time. The two go hand in hand, after all. You can’t protect your customer’s data if you don’t have solid cybersecurity practices in place.
Compliance practices to meet every standard you’re bound by
Compliance isn’t a one-and-done thing. Nor is it a one-size-fits-all thing. It varies, it’s complex, it requires specific solutions to make sure that you’re covered in every region you’re doing business.
This means if…
1
You do business in California and collect personal information from your customers, you must follow the California Consumer Privacy Act. This ensures that all consumer data is stored in a way that is secure and limits any damage that might occur in the event of a security breach.
2
You operate in Europe, you must be compliant with General Data Protection Regulations. These also make sure that customer data is gathered and stored responsibly, and that risk is reduced as much as possible.
3
You work in the medical field in the US, you’re bound by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This regulation keeps individually identifiable health information safe from hackers.
4
You work in finance, you’re following Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) regulations.
5
You accept payments using credit cards, you’re compliant with all PCI-DSS regulations involving payment gateways and the storage of payment data, like credit card numbers.
As you know, compliance is complex and if you’re not fully up-to-date on all the changes and requirements, it’s easy to be non-compliant.
Security supports compliance and protects valuable customer data
Security is a major factor when it comes to regulatory compliance. Often, the focus is on protecting data through methods like encryption, but you also need to make it so that hackers struggle to even gain access to the critical customer information that fuels your business.
Keeping up with security requires keen attention to detail. Attacks change all the time and what was effective one week might not be enough the next.
That’s what we’re here for.
Our cybersecurity experts have been at the forefront of the industry for more than 20 years. We’ve been there, we’ve done that. And we’ve created plans and strategies to help companies in a variety of industries stay safe.
Services that keep you protected
Every business needs something a little different. It doesn’t matter if you’re guided by regulatory compliance or a strong desire to keep both you and your customer safe from attacks, we can help.
Security services include:
Proactive 24/7 monitoring
Don’t wait for an attack to happen, catch it before it starts. We watch your network for any suspicious activity like unsanctioned code being run or unauthorized users accessing parts of the network they shouldn’t. This lets you catch attacks in their initial stages and stop them before it’s too late.
Security strategy and planning
Figuring out what your business is going to need today is a big enough challenge. Thinking about your security needs in the future is downright daunting. We help you create strategies that are designed to protect your business both today and in the future, by carefully looking at your business from all angles and creating a plan that matches your current trajectory.
Training
People are the single weakest link in cybersecurity. We’re busy, distracted, and often not as in the know as we could be about the latest threat. Our experts work closely with you and your staff to ensure that you know how to spot a phishing attempt, what to do when someone does breach your network, and how to create good security habits around things like passwords. We don’t just hand you a manual and a webinar. We like to take it one step further and run drills that test whether you can actually spot a phishing email when it comes in (don’t worry, we don’t actually phish you).
Access control
Access control can be one of the things that prevent an attack from becoming a huge problem. With things like Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in place, employees only have access to the sections of your network that are critical to doing their jobs. That means that if someone does get hacked, criminals will only be able to access a small part of your network, rather than the whole thing.
Disaster Recovery and back-ups
Sometimes, when things go wrong, being able to restore from backup can save the day. But, if you don’t have a robust disaster recovery and backup plan in place, you might not be able to recover as much as you need. We help you create a redundant system that allows you to get back to work as fast as possible, with minimum downtime.
