The five Trust Services criteria: SOC 2, created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), aids businesses in protecting client information. Security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy are the five Trust Services Criteria that make up SOC, or System and Organization Controls. For both MSPs and clients, SOC 2 compliance is an essential foundation.
Establish and manage an ISMS: ISO 27001 is the globally accepted standard for establishing and overseeing an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It is important to distinguish it from ISO 27701, ISO 27017, or ISO 27018. ISO 27001 is the standard used to pass an audit and ensure that a company’s security procedures are current.
Safe credit card information: Anyone handling credit card information needs to be familiar with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The purpose of these standards is to safeguard and preserve payment accounts during the course of transactions. It is imperative that all businesses that receive, handle, retain, or send credit card information adhere to these guidelines. Standards for PCI compliance are essential to e-commerce.
Protecting private health information: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is known by its acronym, HIPAA. It is a federal requirement designed especially for PHI, or protected health information. HIPAA, which is governed by the Office for Civil Rights, specifies the acceptable uses and disclosures of PHI in the United States as determined by HHS regulations. For all healthcare organizations and anybody else handling clients’ or customers’ sensitive health information, HIPAA compliance is vital.
The mega-mandate of Europe: Employed in the European Union? You must be aware of GDPR observance. This collection of data protection laws is among the most extensive in the world, with 99 different articles. Its goal is to offer individuals complete control over the data that is connected to them by restricting the uses of personal information by organizations.
Best practices for cybersecurity: To improve an organization’s cybersecurity, apply the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls), a globally implemented set of best practices. Since these controls simplify and prioritize the actions required for a robust cybersecurity defense, they are updated on a regular basis. These CIS controls should be followed by compliance software in order to ensure proper cybersecurity and compliance.
The adaptable augmentation: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity 2.0 Framework is an extensive, yet adaptable, collection of best practices, guidelines, and standards that was updated in 2024. Any industry’s current security procedures are intended to be integrated with the NIST cybersecurity framework.
Regarding defense contractors: To guarantee that all defense contractors employ security procedures to safeguard sensitive defense data, the U.S. Department of Defense established the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). To stay compliant, businesses handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must adhere to the CMMC regulations. The requirements for CMMC compliance are non-negotiable; MSPs and their clients in the defense industry are required to adhere to this framework.
Financial institution regulations: The FTC Safeguards Rule guarantees that organizations subject to the Rule uphold security measures to protect consumer data. Under section 505 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6805, it applies to financial institutions under the FTC’s jurisdiction that aren’t subject to the enforcement authority of another agency.Accordion Content
California’s privacy law: Californians now have more control over the personal data that businesses may gather about them thanks to the Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). Organizations can follow guidelines provided by the CCPA to ensure compliance with the law. Legal responsibilities include responding to requests for consumer rights and giving clients the notices they need about company privacy policies. Compliance managers need to know about these state-specific rules and privacy statutes.
