Compliance can be complicated. Whether your business needs to address CMMC, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, SOC 2, or other security and regulatory requirements, you need more than a checklist. You need technology, security controls, documentation, and ongoing IT practices that support your compliance requirements every day.
Since 1992, we've helped businesses manage their technology with a practical, professional, relationship-driven approach. Our full-time IT professionals work with your business to identify gaps, implement appropriate technology solutions, maintain security controls, and prepare for audits and assessments.
We don't bury you in technical jargon. We'll explain what needs to be done, why it matters, and how it affects your business.
Vector IT Group provides IT compliance services and cybersecurity support for businesses in Chester County, PA and the surrounding area.
Local IT Compliance Support You Can Understand
Your IT provider should know your environment - not simply show up when an audit is approaching.
Vector IT Group is a local IT company serving Chester County, West Chester, Exton, and surrounding Pennsylvania communities. Our experienced technicians provide both remote and on-site IT support when needed.
Our low employee turnover means our clients work with people who become familiar with their business, systems, employees, and technology. That consistency is especially valuable when security and compliance are involved.
Compliance Is an Ongoing Process
Compliance isn't a one-time project.
Employees change. Technology changes. New applications are introduced. Computers are replaced. Vendors change. Security threats evolve.
Your controls need to keep up.
That's why we approach IT compliance as an ongoing process, supported by your regular IT and cybersecurity practices. We can help maintain the technology controls that support your compliance requirements throughout the year - not just when an assessment is approaching.
Compliance Push Projects: Discover → Remediate → Test → Prepare
Sometimes you need to make significant progress toward compliance within a defined timeframe. Our compliance push projects provide a focused path from your current environment to where you need to be.
Discovery
We review your technology environment, systems, users, devices, access controls, security practices, backups, and other areas relevant to your requirements. We identify gaps and explain the findings in plain English.
Remediation
We help implement the necessary improvements, which may include stronger access controls, multi-factor authentication, endpoint security, network security, system updates, vulnerability remediation, improved backup and recovery, and other required controls.
Testing
We verify that the controls are actually working. This gives you an opportunity to identify and correct problems before an auditor, assessor, customer, or other reviewer finds them.
Preparation
We help review technology controls, documentation, and available evidence and identify remaining areas that need attention before the audit or assessment.
We don't simply hand you a report and leave you to figure out what to do next. Our team supports the process from discovery through remediation, testing, and audit preparation.
CMMC IT Support
Businesses working with the U.S. Department of Defense and its supply chain may need to meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements.
Vector IT Group can help prepare the technology environment to support CMMC requirements, including:
- Access control and user management
- Multi-factor authentication
- Endpoint and network security
- Secure configuration
- Logging and monitoring
- Data protection
- Backup and recovery
- Vulnerability management
- Device management
- Security documentation
- Incident response support
CMMC involves much more than installing security software. Organizations need to understand their systems, data, users, processes, and security responsibilities. We help make the technology portion easier to understand and manage.
ISO/IEC 27001 IT Support
ISO/IEC 27001 provides requirements for establishing and continually improving an information security management system.
Vector IT Group can support the technology-related aspects of an ISO/IEC 27001 program, including access management, endpoint protection, network security, backup and recovery, data protection, authentication, monitoring, vulnerability management, business continuity, and security documentation.
Our goal is to turn information-security requirements into practical controls your employees can actually use.
HIPAA IT Compliance
Healthcare organizations and their business associates have important responsibilities when handling protected health information.
Vector IT Group provides HIPAA IT support and security services for organizations that need technology practices aligned with their HIPAA obligations.
Depending on your environment, support may include:
- User access controls
- Multi-factor authentication
- Endpoint and network security
- Secure remote access
- Email security
- Encryption
- Backup and disaster recovery
- Security monitoring and logging
- Device management
- Security documentation
HIPAA compliance isn't simply about protecting patient records. It also means protecting the availability and integrity of electronic protected health information for authorized users.
PCI DSS IT Support
Businesses that accept, process, or transmit payment-card information may have responsibilities under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Vector IT Group can help address technology and security controls relevant to your PCI environment, including network security, firewall management, endpoint protection, access control, authentication, vulnerability management, logging, secure configuration, data protection, backup, and documentation.
Protecting payment information is important not only for compliance, but also for protecting your customers and your business.
NIST, SOC 2, GLBA, and Other Requirements
CMMC, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS aren't the only requirements businesses encounter.
Depending on your industry, customers, contracts, and information, you may also encounter NIST, SOC 2, GLBA, GDPR, state privacy laws, government contracting requirements, cyber insurance requirements, customer security questionnaires, vendor requirements, and data retention obligations.
Not every organization needs every security control.
We start with your business, your requirements, your risks, and the information you need to protect, then help determine what technology and security practices make sense.
Compliance-Friendly Backup and Recovery
Backup and recovery are important components of a strong security and compliance program.
Vector IT Group provides business backup and recovery services designed to protect critical information from accidental deletion, hardware failure, ransomware, system corruption, and catastrophic events.
Our backups are checked and tested daily, immutable, and stored at multiple offsite locations within the United States.
We also provide Microsoft 365/Office 365 backup, along with litigation hold and long-term data preservation solutions where appropriate.
The goal isn't simply to say your data is backed up.
The goal is to know that your data can be recovered when you need it.
Documentation and Audit Preparation
Compliance often requires businesses to demonstrate what they actually do - not simply claim that their systems are secure.
You may need policies, procedures, configurations, access controls, backup procedures, security practices, employee processes, and other evidence.
Our team can help organize and maintain technology-related documentation and provide information about the controls we manage for your business.
During a compliance push, we'll help identify documentation and evidence gaps so you have an opportunity to address them before your assessment.
Compliance Without the Jargon
Every compliance framework has its own terminology and acronyms.
You shouldn't have to become a cybersecurity expert to understand your IT environment.
Our job is to make compliance easier to understand.
We'll tell you:
- Here's what you need.
- Here's why you need it.
- Here's what we recommend.
- Here's what we've already done.
- Here's what still needs attention.
Our technicians are patient, professional, experienced, and willing to explain things in terms that make sense to your employees and management team.
Local, Experienced, and Relationship Driven
Compliance is another reason why consistency matters.
Over time, we become familiar with our clients' systems, users, history, and business needs. That familiarity makes it easier to identify changes, address problems, and support compliance requirements without constantly starting over.
And because we're local, we can provide on-site IT support in Chester County when a project or security issue requires someone physically present.
Vector IT Group's technicians are full-time professionals with low turnover and an average employee tenure of more than 10 years. We've been providing IT services since 1992.
