Technology That Supports Your Compliance Requirements
Regulated industries are required to protect sensitive information, control access to systems, maintain appropriate security safeguards, and demonstrate that those safeguards are being followed.
Data Tech Security helps businesses understand and implement the technology and cybersecurity controls needed to support their regulatory and industry compliance requirements.
We work with organizations to identify security gaps, strengthen their technology environment, document technical controls, and prepare for audits and assessments.
Government and Industry Compliance
Different industries are subject to different cybersecurity, privacy, and information-protection requirements.
Company Compliance
Compliance is not limited to government regulations.
Your organization may also establish its own policies governing how employees use technology, access company information, and protect business resources.
Company policies may address:
Acceptable computer use
Internet and email use
Password requirements
Remote access
Personal devices
Confidential information
Data retention
Software installation
Employee access and termination
Cybersecurity responsibilities
Company equipment
Incident reporting
Data Tech Security can review your technology environment and recommend policies and procedures that align with the security controls your organization actually uses.
Clear policies help employees understand what is expected of them while giving management a consistent framework for protecting company systems and information.
GLBA and FTC Safeguards Rule
Financial institutions and certain businesses that handle consumer financial information may be subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the FTC Safeguards Rule.
The Safeguards Rule requires covered organizations to develop, implement, and maintain an information security program designed to protect customer information.
Data Tech Security can assist with technical safeguards including access management, encryption, vulnerability management, multifactor authentication, security monitoring, backups, and incident response preparation.
HIPAA
Healthcare organizations and their business associates may be required to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The HIPAA Security Rule requires appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect electronic protected health information.
Data Tech Security can help support HIPAA security requirements through services such as:
Access controls
Multifactor authentication
Data encryption
Secure backups
Network security
Endpoint protection
Security monitoring
Risk assessments
Audit logging
Disaster recovery planning
Security policies and procedures
Employee cybersecurity awareness
PCI DSS
Businesses that store, process, or transmit payment card information may have responsibilities under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Data Tech Security can help businesses evaluate and strengthen the technology environment surrounding payment systems, including:
Network security
Firewall configuration
Access control
System patching
Endpoint security
Vulnerability management
Security logging and monitoring
Network segmentation
CMMC and Government Contractors
Organizations that perform work for the U.S. Department of Defense may have cybersecurity requirements associated with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and related federal information-protection requirements.
Data Tech Security can help organizations evaluate their technology environment, identify cybersecurity gaps, document controls, and implement appropriate security measures.
Because government contracting requirements can change based on the contract and type of information being handled, the specific requirements should always be verified for each organization.
Building a Compliance-Ready Environment
Compliance should not begin when an auditor arrives.
Data Tech Security can help your organization establish an environment in which security controls are routinely maintained, monitored, and documented.
This may include:
Cybersecurity assessments
Vulnerability management
Identity and access management
Multifactor authentication
Endpoint protection
Network segmentation
Security monitoring
Backup and disaster recovery
Patch management
Data encryption
Security documentation
Employee security awareness
Incident response planning
The objective is to make security part of your normal business operations rather than a last-minute response to an audit.
Compliance Support from Data Tech Security
Data Tech Security helps bridge the gap between compliance requirements and the technology needed to support them.
We can assess your existing environment, identify areas that need improvement, implement appropriate cybersecurity controls, and help document the technology safeguards your organization has in place.
Compliance requirements tell you what must be protected. We help you build the technology to protect it.
Data Tech Security provides technology and cybersecurity support and does not provide legal advice or guarantee regulatory certification. Organizations should consult appropriate legal, regulatory, or compliance professionals regarding their specific obligations.
