The New York cybersecurity regulation, 23 NYCRR 500, introduced some of the toughest new cybersecurity regulations in the country. 23 NYCRR 500 sets minimum cybersecurity standards for businesses supervised by the New York State Department of Financial Services, DFS, to prevent data breaches and mitigate the risk of cyber attack. Read more here.
AlertSec provides a solid foundation on which to build your security compliance program. Organizations are increasingly storing and sharing data via cloud-based services that provide good encryption and key handling. However, to protect the personal and sensitive data defined by the 23 NYCRR 500, you will need additional data security measures.
23 NYCRR 500 requires data to be protected wherever it may be stored, accessed or processed.
When approaching HIPAA Compliance for your organization it is important to look at your overall compliance “story”. The HIPAA and HITECH Acts lay out the penalties for ePHI disclosure but also provide mechanisms for Safe Harbor against breaches when certain conditions are met.
It is key to be able to prove the overall compliance coverage within your organization, explaining the Administrative, Physical and Technical Safeguards you have put in place to protect the information. Read more here.
If you store or access any information that could be classified as ePHI, you are subject to the requirements of HIPAA and HITECH. Clearly, that includes organizations such as hospitals, doctor’s offices and pharmacies. It also covers other organizations, for example companies that perform billing services, provide healthcare insurance and/or patient portals. Any system that touches ePHI needs to be HIPAA compliant.
The Sarbanes-Oxley, SOX, Act of 2002 was passed in the wake of several large accounting scandals at publicly traded companies. The goal of SOX is to improve corporate governance and accountability and ensure that financial reporting at all public companies is accurate. SOX hold executives directly responsible for the accuracy of disclosed financial information. The consequences for non-compliance can include steep personal fines and even jail time. Read more here.
While SOX is applicable only to public companies, their financial data must be protected as mandated by SOX, even by any accounting firm or other third-party that provides financial services to these public companies.
AlertSec provides a solid foundation for the implementation of internal controls that are mandated by SOX. AlertSec ensures the integrity of financial data through encryption, as well as providing audit reports. This solid layer of technical security surrounding sensitive data is both highly effective and doesn’t affect normal business operations within your organization.
Protecting data-at-rest at the endpoints (laptops and desktops) is one of the key components for GDPR compliance.
Data-at-rest is either stored at the endpoints (laptops/desktops), on local servers or in cloud-based applications.
In case any of your company’s laptops is lost or stolen, a perpetrator may have access to data stored in either of these places. This is the reason endpoint encryption is one of the key pillars for GDPR compliance. You will also need proof that your computers are GDPR compliant. Read more here.
AlertSec provides a solid foundation on which to build your compliance program. Organizations are increasingly storing and sharing data via cloud-based services that provide good encryption and key handling. However, to protect the personal and sensitive data defined by the GDPR, you will need additional data security measures.
GDPR will require data to be protected wherever it is stored, accessed or processed. GDPR will also require protection for a wider data set, to include hidden data such as digital identifiers, IP addresses and cookie ID’s as well as a person’s name, address and Social Security number.
