Failing to meet rules and guidelines set by compliance standards can result in fines, negative publicity and a loss of trust with clients, partners and employees. Challenges are increasing with employees and visitors using their own devices on company networks, and the growing use of remote network access, including transactions and list sharing. Laptop and mobile device theft poses more issues. It’s crucial to have current security policies that are understandable and enforceable.

Bay State I.T. partners with its clients to develop specifications, policies and procedures for safer use of I.T. systems, devices and data. We help you ensure that your organization is in compliance with various industry and federal regulations (PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, and HIPAA) that are designed to keep sensitive customer data safe.

Compliance mandates like HIPAA [the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and HITECH, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health ACT] require that all data be digitized and meet security and privacy standards.
