IT Compliance by Industry

While Solutech is a leading expert in various compliance frameworks, the following are among our core focus areas.

FTC Compliance

The Federal Trade Commission mandates federal consumer protection laws that prevent fraud, deception, and unfair business practices. In October 2021, the FTC approved changes to the Safeguards Rule that include more specific criteria for cybersecurity measures. This rule primarily applies to non-banking financial institutions under FTC jurisdiction, like mortgage lenders and brokers, tax preparers, accountants, etc.
For your peace of mind, Solutech can effectively monitor FTC compliance levels from anywhere, anytime.

CMMC Compliance

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and requires a set of best practices for handling sensitive data. Established in 2020, the CMMC framework was introduced to improve the DoD’s cyberdefense capabilities. Companies seeking DoD contracts must meet these CMMC requirements and undergo a certification process through a third-party assessment organization (3PAO).

HIPAA Compliance

Contrary to popular belief, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) applies to more than just healthcare facilities. HIPAA compliance is a set of standards and regulations designed to protect the privacy and security of all patient health information (PHI) regardless of where it is stored or accessed.
The HIPAA Security Rule applies to covered entities and business associates, contractors, and vendors that handle electronic patient health information (ePHI) on behalf of said entity. This involves extra cybersecurity standards that help businesses avoid costly penalties.

NIST CSF Compliance

NIST CSF Compliance refers to the National Institute of Standards and Technology at the U.S. Department of Commerce. It is an important security measure for any business, especially those in highly regulated industries. This standard rests on five core functions: Protect, Identify, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
Even if your business still needs to be regulated, starting with the voluntary NIST cybersecurity framework is an excellent idea. That’s because this intricate framework usually sets the standard for other compliance measures, so even if industry-specific regulations have not yet come your way, your business is already adhering to general best practices that apply to various industries.

Recent IT Compliance Updates

Spring 2023

To promote stricter cyber litigation, the new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules set to take effect in the spring of 2023 will force listed companies to report their cyberattacks to core stakeholders, such as investors, customers, and regulators.

March 2022

The most recent version of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is version 4.0, released in 2023. This new version of the standard includes significant updates to help organizations better protect their sensitive financial data, including enhanced encryption requirements, expanded testing and monitoring requirements, and improved reporting processes. The changes are designed to help organizations stay compliant and secure as technology evolves.

October 2021

The FTC updates the Safeguards Rule to require organizations to have a written information security program covering physical, technical, and administrative safeguards. This includes specific measures such as two-factor authentication for employee access to sensitive systems and data, encrypting all stored data, and implementing regular vulnerability scans. Organizations must also document any changes to their security programs and keep detailed records of all security incidents.

January 2020

The NIST Privacy Framework Version 1.0 is published as a voluntary tool to help organizations identify and manage privacy risk.

January 2020

The CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is released by the Department of Defense and is a significant step forward in cybersecurity compliance requirements. The model includes five levels of certification, with each level increasing the required security controls. All organizations doing business with the DoD are expected to meet either Level 1 or Level 2 criteria, and those at higher levels will have to meet additional standards.

February 2014

The initial release of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a way of providing organizations with a set of best practices, standards, and guidelines to follow to protect their networks and data. Numerous organizations have since adopted it, becoming a go-to standard for cybersecurity compliance.
