SOC audits provide you with an independent, third-party review of your processes and controls. This can reveal gaps or weaknesses that could save you from a poor reputation by fixing them before your customers have an unpleasant experience.

  • Reduces time spent with customers’ auditors.
  • Detailed SOC 1 audit report to address customer’s requirements.
  • Provides you with a competitive edge in this aggressive market .

Types of SOC
SOC1

Report on controls relevant to internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) professional standards for issuing SOC 1 reports require that SOC 1 reports follow the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE). Businesses that provide services affecting financial reporting for their clients should conduct SSAE 16 SOC 1 audits.

  • Controls reported ensure that they are effective and meet the related objectives for the specified period.
  • During a specified period, this type of report assesses the effectiveness of controls within a service organization to achieve its related aim.
SOC 2

SOC 2 audit reports provide detailed information and assurance about a company’s security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls based on their compliance with the AICPA’s TSC (Trust Services Criteria).

A SOC 2 audit is an important part of regulatory oversight, vendor management, and internal governance and risk management.

There are two kinds of SOC reports and audits:
  • Controls reported ensure that they are effective and meet the related objectives for the specified period.
  • During a specified period, this type of report assesses the effectiveness of controls within a service organization to achieve its related aim.
SOC 3

Similar to SOC 2 reports, SOC 3 reports report on controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy according to general Trust Service Principles. The difference between SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports is that SOC 3 is a general-purpose report, while SOC 2 is much more restricted, and only intended for allowed parties. SOC 3 reporting is an excellent option for technology companies, similar to SOC 2.

Organizations that store, process, or transmit card data must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Whatever your company’s PCI compliance goals are, SecIQ has the right services to help you achieve them and build a sustainable compliance program. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards apply to all entities that process credit cards, including Merchants, processors, acquirers, Issuers, and Service Providers. PCI DSS applies to all entities that process and/or transmit Cardholder Data (CHD) or Sensitive Authentication Data (SAD) consulting, auditing, and pragmatic security solutions.

  • Protect data from breaches – PCI DSS compliance
  • Build customer trust
  • Avoid fines and penalties
  • Comply with global data security standards
 
  • Policy and procedure review
  • Review network diagrams, configurations, and documentation of data flows
  • Minimize scope by finding out where cardholder data stored
  • Network segmentation assessment and network architecture review.
  • Document and confirm the scope for a future PCI DSS onsite validation
 

Policy and procedure are key components of PCI DSS. In most cases, organizations may have internal working practices that satisfy PCI DSS requirements, but these processes are organic and not shared across the organization. The documenting of processes, security technology, and card data flows of an organization is critical to comply with the PCI DSS and reduce the risk of card fraud.

As part of our approach, we work with you to understand your organization and produce documents that are tailored to support compliance, as well as improve your overall security posture. If implemented correctly, PCI DSS compliance can benefit your organization far beyond just compliance. It doesn’t have to be complicated to support compliance.

Self-assessment questionnaires (SAQs) can make PCI compliance easier for organizations with low transaction volumes. Identifying the right SAQ and managing compliance programs is challenging for many organizations. Often, guidance from a compliance expert can be invaluable in achieving and maintaining compliance.

A PCI consultant will analyse your business, card data flow, and select the most appropriate SAQ standard based on the understanding of the business. Following a gap analysis, our consultant will engage with the company stakeholders and provide recommendations for gap closure. You will not only help fill out the selected PCI SAQ but also be provided with guidance on attestation requirements.

The SecIQ team assists the client during Remediation and Audit Preparation by closing all the identified gaps during the Gap Assessment phase and preparing the system audit for PCI compliance.

SecIQ helps organizations implement PCI DSS controls in the cloud (AWS, AZURE, GCP)
We also provide PCI-DSS support services and solutions as below:
  • Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VA/PT)
  • Application Security Assessment (AppSec)
  • Network Security Architecture Review
  • Firewall and Router Rule Set Reviews

HIPAA – The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, is a set of regulations that govern the proper use and sharing of protected health information (PHI). The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulates HIPAA compliance, which is enforced by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). The OCR’s responsibility in maintaining medical HIPAA compliance is to provide routine guidance on new health-care issues and to investigate common HIPAA violations.

HIPAA compliance is a living culture that health care businesses must integrate into their business to preserve the privacy, security, and integrity of protected health information through a number of interlocking regulatory requirements.

Protected Health Information (PHI)

Any statistical profile that can be used to identify a patient or client of a HIPAA-covered entity is considered protected health information (PHI).

  •  

    Names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, medical data, financial information, and full facial pictures are just a few examples of PHI.

  •  

    Electronic protected health information, or ePHI, is PHI that is transferred, stored, or accessed electronically and is subject to HIPAA regulations.

  •  

    The HIPAA Security Rule, an addition to the HIPAA legislation enacted to account for developments in medical technology, governs ePHI.

Who should go for HIPPA Compliance

The HIPAA rule distinguishes two categories of companies that must comply with the law.

  •  

    Any organization that collects, generates, or transmits protected health information (PHI) electronically. Covered entities in the health-care industry include health-care providers, health-care Clearing houses, and health-insurance providers.

  •  

    A business associate is any organization that comes into contact with PHI in any way while performing services on behalf of a covered entity. Because of the vast range of service providers that may handle, transmit, or process PHI, there are several examples of business associates. Billing companies, practice management firms, third-party consultants, EHR platforms, MSPs, IT providers, faxing companies, shredding companies, physical storage providers, cloud storage providers, email hosting services, attorneys, accountants, and many more are examples of business associates affected by HIPAA rules.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces EU Directive 95/46/EC on data protection (DPD). All EU countries are required by law to enable the secure and free transfer of data across EU borders. It prioritizes data subjects in data security and attempts to safeguard all EU residents from data breaches and privacy violations. You must comply with the regulation by May 2018 if you control and process Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or sensitive personal information of EU individuals. You must comply even if you have no offices or workers in the EU zone.

GDPR is legislation under EU law that governs data protection and privacy for all EU citizens. The GDPR intends to provide citizens and residents more control over their personal data while also simplifying the regulatory environment for international business by consolidating EU regulations. The GDPR broadens the scope of EU data protection legislation to include all overseas enterprises processing personal data of EU citizens.

It calls for the regulation of data-protection standards across the EU, making it easier for non-European corporations to comply; nevertheless, this comes at the cost of a strong data-protection compliance system with hefty fines of up to 4% of global sales or €20 million, whichever is greater.

THE GDPR’S PRIMARY CONCEPTS

  •  

    Personal data – refers to any information about a named or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’). Personal data includes, for example, a national number, an e-mail address, even if it is a professional one, an identifier, a mobile phone number, an IP address, and a photograph.

  •  

    Processing – Any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction, is referred to as “processing.”

  •  

    Controller – The “controller” is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that sets the aims and means of processing, either alone or collectively with others. As a result, there may be joint responsibility where it is appropriate.

  •  

    Processor – A natural or legal entity, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller is referred to as a “processor.”

  •  

    Data Protection Impact assessment – A “Data Protection Impact Assessment” is a method for methodically analysing, identifying, and minimising a project’s or plan’s data protection risks.

Key Challenges addressed by SecIQ

The HIPAA rule distinguishes two categories of companies that must comply with the law.

  •  

    Personal data breach – breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

  •  

    Records of processing activities – allows you to identify your data processing and to have an overview of what you do with personal data. The register is provided for in Article 30 of the GDPR. It participates in the documentation of compliance. It is a document of inventory and analysis and must reflect the reality of your personal data processing.

  •  

    Purpose – determines the objective pursued by the processing, its reason for being. Any processing must be associated with one or more purposes.

  •  

    EU representative – is a natural or legal person established in the Union who, designated by the controller or processor in writing pursuant to Article 27 of the GDPR, represents the controller or processor with regard to their respective obligations under the GDPR.

  •  

    Privacy by design – means incorporating appropriate safeguards in the early stages of development of your products and services.

  •  

    Privacy by default – is the adoption of measures to limit processing by default to what is strictly necessary.

  •  

    Accountability – means the obligation for companies to implement internal mechanisms and procedures to demonstrate compliance with data protection rules.
