Audit + Compliance

Don’t just be compliant.
Be secure.

Trust the Experts With Your Risk and Compliance Needs

Compliance has traditionally been the biggest driver in information security. High profile breaches in the financial services, retail and healthcare industries have made PCI and HIPAA household terms. We believe that compliance is the outcome of a solid security strategy, rather than a goal unto itself.

Most cybersecurity specialists will tell you that “compliance doesn’t equal security.” We agree. Since you still have to meet requirements, however, we help you leverage those efforts to do both. This requires a strategic shift to focus on internal requirements, a move that can save your organization from falling prey to regulatory tunnel vision.

Compliance services assist an organization with implementing the programs and tools necessary for following established rules and regulations, codes of conduct, laws, or organizational standards of conduct. It starts with a gap analysis against a selected framework or industry standard, includes reviewing and/or developing policies and procedures, and then ensures ongoing compliance by implementing a GRC management platform. In the context of cybersecurity, these compliance services work collaboratively with cybersecurity services such as penetration testing, security risk assessments, and continuous endpoint monitoring.

Audit-Ready Compliance

Cybersecurity compliance burdens can be overwhelming at times. Gathering updated documentation, making sure all stakeholders have completed their tasks, aligning security controls to requirements, and staying on top of deadlines is often compounded by multiple compliance requirements. For example, if you need to meet both HIPAA Compliance Audit and GDPR Compliance Audit, you may have some overlap in those frameworks, but will also have documentation that is unique to each. To make matters more difficult, you have auditors, interviews, and management to keep track of–all the while, you probably have entire departments to run. CISO Compliance experts can help you prepare, guiding you through every step of the audit process. Further, we can help you centralize and automate many of these functions for greater efficiency year-over-year. Don’t spend valuable business time worrying about regulations and possible fines. Let CISO do the heavy lifting.

Compliance doesn’t equal security, but security equals compliance.
