Business Compliance

Program Articles

Most businesses you will talk to will give you a technical solution.  They will put together technical safeguards and then say you are secure.  Unfortunately, they ignor the administrative and physical safeguards where 75% of all data breaches occur.

Complete Internet Protection Web Site

Being certified through our service means your business meets or exceeds the minimum recommended standards for protecting your customer’s and employees information against identity theft and fraud.  It also shows your commitment to doing  business the right way,  with a genuine commitment to privacy, safety and trust.

“Don’t be misled! Simply downloading a “template” from the Internet might possibly get you off the hook with the feds, but it probably won’t suffice in litigation with an identity theft victim’s lawyer. Attorneys already view this regulation as a “cash cow...”

 

Larry M. White Certified Compliance Administrator

 

 

“It is evident that having a comprehensive written information security program to defend against data breaches, along with an incident-response plan to deal effectively with breaches that do occur, is critical to all companies operating in today’s digital business environment.”

A Complicated Problem

Most compliance managers I talk to are overwhelmed by the demands of meeting state, federal and industry identity theft and fraud compliance rules and regulations.  In most cases it isn’t just one set of rules and regulations.  Most businesses must meet at least two or more standards.  

There are additional identity theft and fraud protection rules and regulations being considered on the state and federal level that can make compliance even more confusing.  

Every business that accepts credit cards, bills customers, or holds on to employee and customers proprietary information must assign a compliance manager to implement and maintain a program that meets the minimum protection standards.   Failure to implement these programs can result in huge fines and law suits from impacted customers and employees.  

Compliance Can Take Hundreds of Hours and Thousands of Dollars to Implement and Maintain

The compliance program must be flexible as the federal, state and industry rules and regulations change on a regular basis.  The compliance manager must stay on top of changes both with industry rules and regulations and with changes within the business itself. This means a constant review to make sure the business is meeting minimum standards in the physical, administrative and technical areas along with properly protecting all customer and employee information against identity theft and fraud.  Compliance management requires consistent attention to the constantly changing landscape of identity theft and fraud protection.

As a part of compliance management, the compliance manager must develop a breach response policy.  The compliance program must have a system to identity a breach as quickly as possible and a plan detailing how to handle a breach should it happen.  The plan should include contacting local state, federal and industry authorities.  It must dictate how impacted customers and employees are handled. There must be a system to identify where, when and how the breach occurred and the steps that will be taken to prevent the breach from happening again.  Finally, there must be a plan on how to deal with the press.

A Simple and Affordable Solution

 

 

A compliance manager has to find a solution that takes care of all areas of compliance including technical, administrative and physical and does it effectively for less money and in less time.  The compliance program should help maintain the compliance throughout the year including things like a Custom Information Security Policy for the business, Privacy Notice for customers, Compliance Manager training, Employee Training Program, and best practices and compliance updates.  

Let me introduce you to a simple and affordable identity theft and protection compliance program that meets the minimum requirements in federal, state and industry regulations.  We make it simple and affordable.

Every compliance manager who has implemented our program has had a tremendous weight taken off of his/her shoulders.  We do all of the heavy lifting.  We work beside you to implement the compliance program and then maintain compliance with regular checkups to make sure you are maintaining compliance throughout the year.  We do all of this for far less than other companies you will talk to.

We Will Put Your Business in Safe Harbor

Our compliance program is the only one I know of that will, should the unthinkable happen and identities are stolen, stand up in court and testify that you were compliant with the rules and regulations at the time of the breach.  This could save your business from huge fines and legal action from attorneys representing impacted customers and employees.  Safe Harbor is where every business wants to be when a data breach occurs.  

Being certified with our service means your business meets or exceeds the minimum recommended standards for protecting your customer’s and employee’s personal information against identity theft and fraud.  It also shows your commitment to doing business the right way, with a genuine commitment to privacy, safety and trust.

Complimentary, No Obligation, Compliance Check up and Evaluation

I am committed to helping make your job as a compliance manager simpler and less expensive.  Perhaps I can help you.  We won’t know until we conduct a compliance checkup and evaluation.  This is a no obligation, complimentary education and evaluation.  I will share with you that while there are slight variations from one law to another, and they generally apply to specific industries, business practices and or categories, all of the laws share the same basic set of minimum standards, requirements and recommendations for safeguarding personal information.  These overall common standards and requirements can be referred to as “best practices” for information security and privacy.  

Organizations can become “compliant” with ALL federal, state and industry regulations by meeting the common set of minimum requirements found in all the laws.

Our Compliance Checkup and Evaluation will help you whether you choose to use our services or not.  There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain.  I encourage you to fill out the form and allow me to conduct the complimentary, no obligation, compliance evaluation.
