HIPAA compliance is a long, winding road for healthcare providers and the businesses and contractors they work with. Whether you are a covered entity or a business associate, CMIT Solutions can help.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is required for contractors working with the Department of Defense. CMIT Solutions helps companies prepare for a CMMC audit by performing a preliminary risk assessment and providing an action plan to close the gaps needed to achieve compliance.

CMIT Solutions works within the cybersecurity framework of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which requires businesses to Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover in the face of data threats. This includes security awareness training and Security Incident and Event Monitoring (SIEM).

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) regulates the sharing of information and the transparency of transactions conducted by banking, accounting, and tax professionals.

If your business accepts major credit cards as payment, you’re required to comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. This was established in 2004 to improve protection for card issuers by ensuring that merchants meet minimum standards for the storage, processing, and transmission of cardholder data.

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enacted in 2018, standardizes data privacy laws while increasing the transparency with which organizations approach this hot-button issue. GDPR has had ripple effects across the globe as its standards are adopted by other governments and regulatory bodies.

Effective cybersecurity requires a proactive approach. This includes penetration testing, which simulates a cyberattack against your organization. It allows an IT partner like CMIT Solutions to identify and repair vulnerabilities before a hacker does, as well as support compliance with data privacy and security regulations.
