An ever-increasing number of government and industry regulations are implicated in the design of our IT systems as well as our day-to-day operations. Regulations governing the protection of healthcare, financial and other sensitive data impact a wide range of businesses, even those only tangentially related to those industries.

These regulations often seen like an unnecessary distraction in today’s economic climate. Isn’t business difficult enough without worrying about potential fines and sanctions for inadequate data protection? However, effectively complying with these requirements can help your organization prevent a data security breach, which can cost millions of dollars and have a devastating effect on customer trust.

Of course, simply understanding these regulations can be a challenge. Many are quite broad in their coverage yet vague in terms of recommended data protection strategies. FusionStorm/Jeskell can help you take the first step toward compliance by confidently answering these questions.

• What regulatory requirements affect your business?

• Have you uncovered all of your sensitive data?

• Have your processes changed as regulations have changed?

• Are your existing controls strong enough to reduce the risk of a data security breach?

Once we develop the basic framework of privacy requirements that impact your businesses, we can help you address the challenge of meeting those requirements and protecting sensitive data throughout the enterprise. Many regulations have similar mandates even though each focuses on different types of data. Developing a strategy that works across regulatory requirements will help you effectively and efficiently address today’s compliance challenges.

The compliance experts at FusionStorm/Jeskell can help you take stock of your privacy profile, understand the data protection process, and build strategies for regulatory compliance. Should a data security breach occur, we can help you minimize the fallout and comply with notification and other requirements.

Our goal is to help you create a regulatory compliance strategy that will reduce the burden on your organization while protecting you from the penalties and other real risks associated with a data security breach.
