Policy & Regulatory Compliance

Does your organization have a documented security policy? Does the existing plan outline how your company proposes to protect its information technology (IT) assets and confidential information? Your security policy is often considered to be a “living document.” In other words, it’s never finished. Let us help you create or update your policy to meet changes in regulatory, technology, and employee requirements.

A Changing Regulatory Climate

Over the past several years, State and Federal Governments have established regulations like: HIPPA, SOX, and NYDFS cybersecurity compliance. These regulations in part govern how your company should use, retain, and protect confidential information regarding your business, clients, employees, investors and stock holders. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements can result in substantial fines and penalties for your organization.

If your organization is a public company, there may be personal liability for senior management and Boards of Directors who are found to have neglected their fiduciary responsibilities to protect shareholder value from avoidable risks. Managing your Information Security Risk requires the selection and deployment of appropriate controls in the context of the risk attitude and culture of your business.

Information Security Management System

An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a set of policies and procedures for systematically managing your organization’s sensitive data. The goal of an ISMS is to minimize risk and ensure business continuity by pro-actively limiting the impact of a security breach. An ISMS will enable information risk to be managed to a level acceptable in your business. We can design and help you implement an effective ISMS that meets legal and regulatory requirements, and provides executive level support. The ISMS will:

  • Supports the needs of your organizational culture
  • Proactively manages business information security risk
  • Align with your business’ strategic framework
  • Support active training and awareness
  • Offer solid technical controls as necessary
