Compliance in Bel Air - where to begin?

Compliance requirements can be ambiguous, costly and disruptive if you are uninformed and unprepared. You can find a myriad of checklists online, but simply misinterpret compliance requirements and you may mistakenly believe you have met your obligation.

Summit Business Technologies helps our Annapolis clients systematically assess, identify and prioritize any deficiencies associated with security standards and regulations.

1 Compliance Gap Analysis

The first step in any compliance process is a Compliance Gap Analysis. Summit’s Gap Analysis identifies security holes before an auditor can. The process is designed to uncover inadequate systems, processes and policies that will not meet regulatory standards.

2 Gap Remediation

Summit’s Remediation Plan is an actionable roadmap to mitigate vulnerabilities in a prioritized process, with tasks, milestones, resource requirements, timelines and a cost magnitude estimate. We organize the plan by control requirements specific to each regulation.

Summit is proud to be an RPO certified member.

COMPLIANCE IS NOT SECURITY

If you haven’t heard it before, being compliant does not mean you are secure. Compliance is a regulatory measure designed to help protect your organization, and sensitive information from cyber threats. Compliance demonstrates you’ve met a minimum standard of information security – at that point in time. However, cyber threats are continuous and evolving. To protect your organization means staying ahead of cybersecurity threats before they become major business disruptions.

Organizations that embrace the policies, standards, and improvements laid out by industry regulators can unlock value by improving core IT processes. From avoiding massive fines to landing the next big federal contract – leveraging the right compliance initiatives for your industry can result in better business processes, more effective use of data, and a more informed, empowered team.
