Frequently Asked Questions

What cybersecurity compliance requirements apply to my business?

Requirements depend on your industry, customers, contracts, the type of data you handle, and other regulatory obligations. We help organizations assess their environment, identify applicable cybersecurity requirements, and develop a practical roadmap for addressing gaps.

Can you help with NIST cybersecurity compliance?

Yes. We help organizations assess and improve their alignment with NIST frameworks and standards, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and NIST SP 800-171. Support can include assessments, gap analysis, remediation planning, security controls, policies, documentation, and ongoing cybersecurity management.

Can you help our organization prepare for CMMC?

Yes. We can support CMMC readiness through gap assessments, NIST SP 800-171 alignment, remediation planning, security control implementation, policies, documentation, evidence readiness, and ongoing cybersecurity support. Formal CMMC assessments and certifications are performed by authorized third parties when required.

Do you provide HIPAA cybersecurity and compliance support?

Yes. We help healthcare organizations and other businesses handling protected health information evaluate cybersecurity risks, strengthen administrative and technical safeguards, improve policies and procedures, and address technology-related HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

Can you help us prepare for SOC 2?

Yes. We support SOC 2 readiness through gap assessments, control mapping, security improvements, policies and procedures, evidence preparation, and ongoing technology and cybersecurity management. CMIT Solutions does not perform SOC 2 examinations or issue SOC 2 reports; those services are provided by independent CPA firms.

Can you help with cyber insurance requirements?

Yes. We can assess your existing security controls against common cyber insurance requirements and help address gaps involving MFA, endpoint protection, backups, email security, privileged access, security monitoring, incident response, and other controls commonly requested by insurers.

Is compliance a one-time project?

Usually not. Cybersecurity frameworks, customer requirements, technology environments, threats, and business operations change over time. We can provide ongoing compliance and security management to help maintain controls, documentation, evidence, risk reviews, and remediation activities.

What happens during a Compliance & Risk Assessment?

We review your technology environment, cybersecurity controls, policies, documentation, business requirements, and relevant compliance obligations. The goal is to identify gaps, prioritize risks, and develop a practical roadmap for remediation and ongoing management.
