Managed Compliance Services

Managed compliance services involve outsourcing your organization's compliance activities to a third-party provider. They handle tasks like regulatory monitoring, risk assessments, policy development, audits and reporting.

Any organization that must adhere to industry-specific regulations or data privacy laws can benefit. This includes businesses in healthcare, finance, technology and any company handling sensitive data.

Benefits include reduced risk of non-compliance, access to specialized expertise, cost-effectiveness, improved efficiency and the ability to focus on core business activities.

Common areas include cyber security (CMMC 2/0), data privacy (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA), financial regulations (PCI DSS), industry-specific standards (NIST, ISO 27001) and other relevant regulations.

Reputable providers implement robust security measures, including data encryption, access controls and regular security audits. They also stay up to date on the latest security threats and best practices by employing dedicated compliance experts who monitor regulatory updates, attend industry events and subscribe to relevant publications.

The process typically involves identifying potential risks, assessing their impact and developing mitigation strategies. This may include reviewing policies, procedures and systems.

Providers work with organizations to understand their specific needs and develop customized policies that align with relevant regulations and industry best practices.

Reporting may include compliance status reports, risk assessment reports, audit reports and other relevant documentation. Providers should tailor reporting to meet your organization's needs.

Providers can conduct internal audits to assess compliance and help organizations prepare for external audits. They can also assist with responding to audit findings.

Many providers offer training programs to educate employees on compliance requirements and promote a culture of compliance.
