Know where you stand
A readiness and gap assessment shows which technical safeguards are in place and which are missing.
Consulting · IT Regulatory Compliance
Get the technical side of compliance in order.
We assess your readiness against the frameworks you face—HIPAA for clinics, PCI DSS for restaurants and POS, and the NY SHIELD Act—then help put the technical controls in place.
Why get ready now
Regulations ask for safeguards most small businesses haven’t documented. Knowing your gaps early makes audits and questionnaires far less stressful.
Controls that are actually in place
We implement the technical side: access control, encryption, logging, backups, and network separation.
Evidence you can show
Configurations and decisions documented, so you can answer auditor and questionnaire requests.
Prioritized remediation
Gaps ranked by risk and effort, so you fix the most important things first.
Works with your advisors
We support your auditor, assessor, or counsel rather than replacing them.
Kept current
Technical controls reviewed as your systems, staff, and locations change.
What’s included
Readiness and gap assessments plus the technical controls behind them.

Common questions
Can you certify that we’re compliant?
No. We don’t certify compliance or give legal advice. We assess readiness, close technical gaps, and document controls, working alongside your auditor, assessor, or counsel.
Which frameworks do you help with?
Most often HIPAA for medical clinics, PCI DSS for restaurants and anyone taking card payments, and the NY SHIELD Act for businesses holding New York residents’ private information.
Do we still need an auditor or lawyer?
For formal assessments, legal interpretation, and determining your obligations, yes. We make their work easier by getting the technical side ready.
