Understanding Compliance at Your Business

Every day, we share information online, often without putting much thought into it. From phone numbers to payment information, anything you communicate can be intercepted by hackers and other individuals attempting to steal your information. Not only does this pose a risk to your organization, but it can also embed you in legal trouble should the data breach break compliance. 

Familiarize yourself with the types of compliance your business may fall under. Here are a few instances in which you need to comply with security regulations:

• Healthcare Organizations: Healthcare organizations are responsible for protecting personal health information, referred to as PHI. Health technology must uphold regulations determined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure patient information and medical records are handled correctly.  
• Payment Systems: If you are an organization that handles debit and credit card payments, you are subject to the guidelines provided by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) By adhering to these guidelines, your company can ensure all data is transferred safely. 
• Financial Integrity: Many public organizations must follow the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations to maintain financial integrity with every transaction.
