Compliance Advisory

In today’s sophisticated IT environment, traditional security controls are no longer enough to protect critical infrastructure, applications, and data. Constantly evolving threats and attack techniques make security a moving target and expose these assets to new risks on a daily basis. Our practices helps by designing, deploying, and managing information security programs, including the underlying Governance, Risk and Compliance Management frameworks.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is a security management standard that specifies security management best practices and comprehensive security controls. Organizations rely on the ISO 27001 standards to form a strong foundation for their information security management programs. It entails a structured set of policies and procedures to let an organization be secure and gain confidence in their customer's minds. If you plan to building an ISO27001 compliant infrastructure from scratch, or looking to refresh and update an existing program, we can help you.

HIPPA

With the growing reliance on information technology in the healthcare industry, the security and privacy of medical records have become a government regulated requirement. The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal protections for personal health information held by covered entities and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information. At the same time, the Privacy Rule is balanced so that it permits the disclosure of personal health information needed for patient care and other important purposes.

HIPPA applies to those who engage in “standardized electronic transactions,” as defined by the federal government. For example, if you submit claims or perform eligibility checks electronically, either directly or through a third party, e.g., a billing service, then you are subject to the HIPAA privacy and security requirements. In addition, if you perform any transactions electronically, the information in both your electronic and paper records are covered by HIPAA.

Managed Security Services delivers real-time information security threat monitoring and analysis to help organizations maintain HIPAA compliance. By partnering with Managed Security Services as their remote security team, healthcare security administrators can leverage Symantec’s global network of Security Operation Centers (SOCs), security experts, best practices, information correlation capabilities, and global threat intelligence to ensure that systems processing or containing ePHI are protected against cyber security threats.

We can work with your firm to establish standards set forth by HIPAA, and achieve certification.

PCIDSS

The PCI DSS applies to all organizations worldwide that transmit, process or store payment card data. This applies to both the smallest merchant handling a few orders and the largest service provider processing millions of transactions on behalf of other businesses. With rules governing everything from data encryption to network segmentation, meeting PCI DSS requirements can be difficult to achieve and maintain. What matters to all organizations is effective, timely compliance, and maintaining this within an acceptable budget.
