Regulatory compliance is a continuous operational discipline, not a checkbox. We build and manage compliance programs for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, SOC 2, TX-RAMP, CJIS, and other frameworks. Our work runs from initial gap analysis through ongoing evidence management and audit support.
Our compliance practice is built on the understanding that auditors want evidence, not promises. We do the technical work, write the documentation, and maintain the evidence library. The result is a compliance program that can survive scrutiny.
We build compliance programs for the frameworks that matter most to Texas and Tennessee businesses. Click any framework card for detailed requirements, penalties, enforcement information, and links to official guidelines.
From the first gap analysis through annual audit support, we handle every part of your compliance program. Our team writes the policies, implements the controls, collects the evidence, and prepares your organization for scrutiny.
We assess your current posture against the target framework. You receive a written gap analysis with a prioritized remediation roadmap and estimated effort.
We write and deliver a complete set of information security policies, procedures, and standards. Each one is tailored to your organization and the frameworks you must satisfy.
We configure and deploy the technical controls required by your compliance framework. This work ranges from access management and MFA to encryption, logging, and endpoint security.
We build and maintain the evidence library your auditors will require. It includes screenshots, configuration exports, logs, and signed attestations.
Compliance is not a one-time project. We provide continuous compliance monitoring and management. Your program stays current as your environment and the standards evolve.
We prepare your team for audits and serve as your technical point of contact during auditor interviews. We also help respond to findings or requests for additional evidence.
Each compliance framework targets a specific industry and data type. Most businesses are subject to more than one. Below is a concise reference for each framework we support, who it applies to, and what our program covers.
Applies to: Healthcare providers, health insurers, clearinghouses, and business associates handling protected health information (PHI).
Our HIPAA compliance programs cover the Security Rule's administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements. These include annual Security Risk Analysis, workforce training, Business Associate Agreements, and Breach Notification Rule compliance. We build the documentation your auditors require and maintain it as your environment changes.
Applies to: Any business that stores, processes, or transmits credit or debit cardholder data.
PCI DSS v4.0.1 is the current required standard. Our PCI DSS compliance programs address network segmentation, access controls, vulnerability management, and logging and monitoring. They also handle the evidence collection required for your Self-Assessment Questionnaire or QSA audit. Compliance level is determined by annual transaction volume.
Applies to: Defense contractors and subcontractors in the Defense Industrial Base handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Requirements flow down through the supply chain via DFARS clauses.
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requires implementation of all 110 practices in NIST SP 800-171. We assess your current posture and identify gaps. We then build the System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and prepare your organization for the C3PAO assessment.
Applies to: Non-bank financial institutions regulated by the FTC, including auto dealerships, tax preparers, mortgage brokers, payday lenders, title companies, insurance agencies, and accounting firms, as well as banks and credit unions under GLBA.
The updated FTC Safeguards Rule (effective June 2023) requires a Written Information Security Program (WISP) and a designated Qualified Individual. It also requires MFA for all systems with customer financial information, encryption of data in transit and at rest, ongoing testing of key controls, and an annual board report. The rule permits continuous monitoring as an alternative to annual penetration testing. The specific path depends on your program design. We implement every required element and maintain your program on an ongoing basis.
Applies to: SaaS providers and technology companies storing or processing customer data for enterprise buyers.
SOC 2 evaluates controls against the AICPA Trust Service Criteria. A Type I report assesses control design at a point in time. A Type II report covers operating effectiveness over a period of 6 to 12 months. We build the controls, documentation, and operational procedures required to pass a Type I or Type II audit. We also prepare your team for auditor interviews.
Applies to: Law enforcement agencies and technology vendors with access to FBI criminal justice databases including NCIC, III, and NICS.
CJIS Security Policy v6.0 mandates advanced authentication (MFA), FIPS-validated encryption, personnel security screening, physical access controls, audit logging with one-year retention, and annual security awareness training. We build CJIS-compliant security programs for law enforcement agencies and for the technology vendors who support them.
Applies to: Businesses that operate in Texas or serve Texas residents, process or sell personal data, and are not small businesses under the U.S. Small Business Administration definition. The TDPSA uses no numeric consumer-count threshold. It therefore reaches many mid-sized Texas businesses that similar laws elsewhere would exempt.
The TDPSA requires reasonable administrative, technical, and physical data security practices. Those practices must scale to the volume and sensitivity of the personal data you hold. The law also requires consumer rights, consent for sensitive data, recognition of universal opt-out signals, and processor agreements. We own the security side: data inventory and mapping, access control and MFA, encryption, logging and monitoring, and incident response. We document that work as evidence for any inquiry from the Texas Attorney General. Your legal counsel handles the privacy notice and legal interpretation. We provide the controls and proof their program relies on.
Applies to: Effectively every commercial business seeking to bind or renew a cyber insurance policy. Carriers now verify security controls with external scans and evidence before they issue coverage.
Cyber insurance underwriting has shifted from questionnaires to evidence-based verification. Carriers commonly require multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, tested and immutable backups, a written and tabletop-tested incident response plan, email security, and vulnerability management with timely patching. We implement, operate, and document those controls. Your application and renewal are then answered from proof rather than promises. The carrier evaluates risk, issues the policy, and handles claims. We are not an insurer and do not provide insurance advice.
