Every business today faces at least a few regulations it has to comply with, such as Sarbanes-Oxley Act, PCI DSS, HIPAA, CIPA, etc. While the majority of these regulatory requirements are just common sense, making sense of this alphabet soup is quite challenging sometimes. Each standard has its own control and auditing process, and vendors certified to perform specific compliance verification. It is, however, almost always up to you and your already overworked staff to actually comply with all these regulations.
Even if someone found a vulnerability in your process or infrastructure, who is going to fix it, how long will it take, and how much money will you have to spend? And who is going to help you to do it? If you answered "Well, my auditing company says they will fix it for me", think again. Would you let your financial auditor do your accounting for you? Doesn't it sound suspiciously like a fox in a henhouse situation? Even if your auditor has the best of intentions to help you, best practices always separate auditing and remediation functions.
On top of the separation of duties issues, financial or IT auditing companies are ill-equipped to help you in a cost-effective manner. These companies often subcontract IT consulting companies to actually do the work, which mounts costs on top of costs. By the way, your typical consulting company would want to set clear deliverables and schedules which suits them, not you.
Before your seemingly simple compliance project turns into an avalanche of invoices, consider an alternative approach – we will help you to do self-assessment, then we fix all identified issues together with your IT, and then you bring an auditor to check your compliance. We will work on your side during all these steps, thus providing checks and balances and ensuring you don't get stuff you don't need. Our engineers, project managers, and solution architects have backgrounds in Information Security, came from Fortune 100 companies, and did the compliance projects for their former employers, so they know your pain and are eager to relieve it!
On top of that, we will do an initial discovery with you absolutely free of charge, no matter how long it will take. You have absolutely nothing to risk – just contact us and see for yourself how easy and simple we can make your next compliance initiative.
