Our compliance services:
HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that specifies administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protecting electronic patient information. It applies to healthcare providers and payers directly and to their business associates through contractual obligation. It has evolved continually since it was originally passed and can involve large financial penalties for organizations that are found out of compliance.
A HIPAA Security Risk Assessment is an important step to achieving compliance and building a formal information security program. illumination.io can perform a risk assessment that goes beyond “check-the-box” compliance to provide deep insight into the security operations of your organization. This includes the development of custom policies and procedures, risk registers, incident response plans, disaster recovery plans as well as technical solutions to meet compliance and improve overall security. illumination.io will recommend solutions based on the size and complexity of your practice.
PCI
Payment card industry (PCI) compliance is mandated by credit card companies to help ensure the security of credit card transactions in the payments industry. illumination.io can help to design your PCI-compliant infrastructure based on the size and complexity of your organization. Penetration testing and physical assessments can identify weak points in the Cardholder Data Environment for remediation. illumination.io can also assist your organization in preparing for a PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) by interpreting audit requirements and working with your card processor. illumination.io can develop a custom security program that meets and exceeds PCI requirements to protect your business and your customers.
NIST SP800-171 and CMMC
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) model was designed to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that is shared with contractors and subcontractors of the Department of Defense through acquisition programs. Companies must conduct a range of compliance requirements based on the size and type of information they receive to provide their products and services. Some organizations can perform a NIST SP800-171 self-assessment along with a System Security Plan (SSP) and a Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) while others will be required to undergo certification. illumination.io can assist your organization in preparing to meet these standards to retain business associated with government contracts and improve overall security posture.
NIST CSF
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) was originally developed as a set of guidelines to protect critical infrastructure. It is an easy-to-understand set of standards and best practices to manage cybersecurity risks and that can be used to reduce IT infrastructure security risks for all types of organizations. NIST CSF has been identified in the 2021 HIPAA Safe Harbor Law (HR 7898), instructing the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to consider existing security practices when determining penalties for HIPAA violations and when determining the length and extent of HIPAA audits.
We have an extensive background in compliance, and we believe that regulatory compliance is only the beginning of building a secure organization. Experience for yourself the difference in our approach.
