Data Compliance Consulting Services

How Compliance Differs from Cyber Security

Cybersecurity is the umbrella term we use to talk about tools that protect your business from cybercrime, negligence, and disasters. It is a set of controls put in place by your IT team to minimize your cyber risk. 

Controls are chosen based on the cybersecurity framework your company chooses to adhere to, along with controls mandated by regulations in your industry.

Compliance refers to the governance of the overall data security program. It includes your written policies and procedures - like your Disaster Recovery Plan and Business Continuity Plan - and focuses on the mitigation and transfer of business risk.

TotalCare IT provides a data compliance consulting service for Idaho businesses through our virtual Chief Security Officer program.

Why You Need a Virtual Chief Security Officer

Our Virtual Chief Security Officer (vCSO) solution will help your business make security decisions, understand security threats, and optimize security processes. With our vCSO solution, you will retain a board-level resource who can virtually sit inside your company and manage your security strategy, budget, review of risks, and regulatory programs.

• We help CEOs understand their risk tolerance, compliance needs, and
  liability in incident prevention/response/recovery.
• We guide your leadership team through alignment to data security
  standards.
• We provide context for decisions being made within the cybersecurity program.
• We prioritize items for completion within the organization — a 3rd party risk assessment provides a trustworthy place to start.
• Our program creates oversight for the organization’s security — so the Executive team knows it is being proactively managed.
• We communicate business security risk and outcomes to the board, now that it is a board-level expectation.

Isn't it time you had someone on the team focused on making sure it gets done in a secure manner - not just done?

A HOLISTIC SECURITY & COMPLIANCE PROGRAM FOR ORGANIZATIONS IN IDAHO

Legislation is frequently drafted or updated that regulates the cybersecurity and technology of specific industries. When those regulations affect your business, TotalCare IT works with your team to prepare your infrastructure and Executive team for certifying bodies.

Regulatory standards (like HIPAA, NIST, CMMC, PCI, SOC 2, ISO 27001) all have security controls that must be met to satisfy the standard. Being "compliant" to a standard means you are actively implementing all of the prescribed controls. At TotalCare IT, we make sure your company is adopting the security controls required for compliance mandates in your industry.

When your staff needs cybersecurity training, education to fulfill HIPAA compliance requirements, or certificates of training completion, we’ve got you covered. Our team can assist in setting you up with the right learning management solution for your organization so it’s one less thing on your list.

For your technical staff, our virtual Chief Security Officer service provides education on why specific security controls or solutions should be implemented. We can also host tabletop exercises with them where we explore potential breach scenarios and response plan protocols.
