COMPLIANCE

Why

Compliance-as-a-Service?


Compliance as a service is exactly what it sounds like. We provide our expertise to advise a business on what requirements you are liable for based on a governing agency. For example, a doctor’s office needs to follow HIPAA. (If you’ve ever been to a doctor, you’ve signed one of those notices!)


A CaaS provider would be the person advising the doctor’s office on the things they need to do to comply with HIPAA’s regulations and requirements so that they uphold client trust, professional rules and sometimes even U.S. law.

How do you stay “In Compliance”?

  • DOCUMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

    Putting policies on paper (or having digital copies) lends them more authority and weight. It’s vital to make them readily available to employees because it helps everyone stay on top of the best practices, which increases security. 

  • APPLY YOUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONSISTENTLY

    Consistency is absolutely necessary for success. Policy compliance should be demonstrated from the top down. Your leadership team needs to set the tone for employees in every role within the company. This is especially relevant to security protocol and procedures. 

  • REMOVE COMPLIANCE BARRIERS

    If you’ve put time into crafting relevant policies and documenting them in a guidebook, make sure that your staff has an opportunity to actually read them! Allocate time in the onboarding process for new employees to review guidelines, and make sure your door is open to any inquiries regarding policies. If your team is having trouble implementing a certain policy because its relevance is unclear, it’s time to review the policy. 

  • USE TRAINING AS REINFORCEMENT

    Regular training sessions with all levels of management and staff make codes crystal clear and memorable, reducing the chances of negative situations (missing deadlines or not meeting obligations) in favor of positive ones (group discussions and company-wide reminders to work as a team). 

  • MAKE SURE THE WHOLE TEAM IS FOLLOWING PROCEDURES

    Policies won’t hold water if they’re only enforced in select situations. The whole team is subject to company regulations and processes, especially when following guidelines impacts daily workflow. If just one person does not follow security measures, it could lead to severe consequences, such as a data breach. 

  • CONDUCT COMPLIANCE AUDITS REGULARLY

    To remain effective, your organization needs to have its temperature taken every now and then using a compliance audit. Audits reveal how policies can be updated or changed to be clearer and more applicable as well as spotlighting any bottlenecks or security gaps in implementation and practice. 

  • USE OUR PLATFORM TO HELP SIMPLIFY COMPLIANCE

    Staying on top of compliance needs to be on the top of your to-do list, but it can be overwhelming. Why not make it easy on yourself and use a platform like ours? This will help you to stay organized, documented, and educated on compliance.

WHY SHOULD I USE A THIRD-PARTY?

How does using third-party analysis help with compliance?

Let’s be blunt - third-party assessments are becoming a standard requirement among regulators and safeguards. They’re no longer an item on your “when we get around to it” list.


Important note: Third-party assessment is not just about compliance anymore! Insurance companies are now asking for third-party assessments. Having quarterly assessments ready at-hand will make you more insurable at a lower cost.


Over 80% of cyber insurance self-assessment questionnaires ask if routine vulnerability scans are being performed no more than 90 days apart. This tells us that the importance of third-party risk assessments is only growing amongst insurance providers.

Vulnerability scans are a standard part of cybersecurity. There’s no way around them if you truly want your organization to be secure.
