Regulated industries face a growing list of compliance frameworks — HIPAA, PCI, NIST CSF, plus cyber insurance carriers requiring documented controls. Hurricane Technologies handles IT compliance for Rochester-area businesses across all of them.
Compliance frameworks we work with
- HIPAA — Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (healthcare, dental, behavioral health)
- PCI DSS — Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (any business accepting credit cards)
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) — government contractors, manufacturers, federal-facing organizations
- FTC Safeguards Rule — financial services firms and auto dealerships
- CIS Controls — a practical security baseline when no single framework is mandated
- SOC 2 — service organizations and software vendors whose clients require it
- Cyber insurance prerequisites — the controls insurers increasingly require
What IT compliance work looks like
Compliance is not a one-time project. It's a continuous program. Our service includes:
- Initial gap assessment against the relevant framework
- Remediation roadmap with priorities and timelines
- Policy documentation — acceptable use, incident response, vendor management, BYOD
- Control implementation — MFA, access controls, encryption, logging
- Ongoing monitoring and quarterly reviews
- Audit support — we provide the documentation auditors ask for
Industries where compliance matters most
Our compliance practice is busiest with dental practices (HIPAA), financial and accounting firms (FTC Safeguards), and government contractors (NIST). Not sure which framework applies? We'll help you figure that out.
