Ease your biggest compliance and governance headaches

Compliance isn’t optional, yet amid constantly changing regulations domestically and abroad, adhering to those compliance requirements is increasingly complex and burdensome. Multiple factors—including industry, business type, data protection expectations, customer types, third-party suppliers and regions of operation—influence your organization’s compliance and data protection obligations.

To simplify the process, you must align compliance initiatives with cybersecurity governance policies and business objectives. Ideally, the result should be a cohesive, feasible strategy that reduces cost and complexity. Avoiding the risks of noncompliance starts with demystifying frameworks, regulations and standards within your organization.

Enhance your compliance and governance program with RSM

Our cyber compliance and governance advisors are skilled in more than tech. They’re also experienced risk management analysts who understand the unique challenges of both public and private companies. With experience across a broad range of industries, each of our advisors has a deep understanding of multiple regulatory and compliance standards and frameworks, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), National Institute of Standards and Technology, International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST), Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), Federal Information Security Modernization Act, North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection, Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and New York Department of Financial Services.

Before you enhance your risk management program with best-in-class enterprise governance, risk and compliance (eGRC) tools, you’ll want to be sure you have the right platform and implementation plan. Our advisors have extensive knowledge and can offer insights, consult on the best options for your organization and then deploy and manage modern eGRC platforms.

Wherever you are in your compliance journey, our experienced team can give you the insight to embrace continuous compliance evaluation, identify and remediate compliance gaps as they happen, and ensure stringent data privacy.

Governance, risk and compliance
By establishing a common controls framework, you can map your organization’s tactical objectives to your overall business strategy using a three-lines-of-defense approach. Our advisors will implement the right cybersecurity framework to meet your organization’s technology and business objectives, such as your cloud versus on-premises strategy. We’ll involve all key business stakeholders and create a defined, operational execution plan. Plus, we can consult on, deploy and manage modern eGRC tools so you can progress your governance, risk and compliance strategy.
Privacy

Middle market companies often underestimate the amount of personal or consumer data they store. Noncompliance can lead to significant penalties—even if no data breach has occurred. With a deep understanding of the nuances of the GDPR, CCPA, General Data Protection Law, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and other emerging privacy standards, our privacy professionals will design a program to comply with requirements proactively.

We can enhance every step of your data security compliance approach, from data discovery to technical safeguard design and policy development. We can also perform a wide variety of services, including a privacy gap assessment to benchmark your organization against applicable laws and reduce your noncompliance penalties.
