Compliance in Tampa: HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, CJIS
Tampa's regulated work, from Westshore finance to Hillsborough healthcare, comes with someone asking for proof. We put the controls in place, keep the records, and show the record when the auditor or the insurer asks.
The rules Tampa businesses answer to
Healthcare practices across Tampa and Hillsborough answer to HIPAA. The CPA and wealth firms along Westshore Boulevard in Tampa answer to the FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS Publication 4557, and their cyber insurers ask the same questions at renewal. Agencies and contractors handling criminal justice data answer to CJIS. Anyone taking cards answers to PCI. Law firms carry whatever their clients carry. The rule changes; the demand does not. Show where the sensitive information lives, show who can reach it, show the records, and show that someone checked.
Controls, records, proof
Security + Compliance adds to Complete the pieces a rule asks for and plain protection does not include. Records kept as long as the rule says and findable when a lawyer or an auditor asks. Sensitive files labeled automatically and protected wherever they go, with an alert when someone moves what they should not. Protection on every computer that investigates an attack and undoes it, risky sign-ins stopped even with the right password, and administrator rights granted only when needed. An audit trail mapped to your framework, policy templates, and help preparing when the audit date is set. It applies to everyone on your Tampa plan, because an auditor looks for the one computer that was left out.
SOC 2, and the frameworks
We are SOC 2 compliant ourselves, so the people holding your records are held to a standard too. For Tampa clients we work to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GLBA, the FTC Safeguards Rule, IRS Publication 4557, CJIS and Florida's FIPA. A formal assessment with a report your auditor or client will accept is a project, scoped at the Tampa office and quoted before it begins; the controls themselves are in the plan.
Price, and what is a project
Security + Compliance is $30 per person, per month on top of Complete, plus the Microsoft licenses it requires; all of it is on the pricing page. Policy writing, a gap assessment and audit preparation are projects, written up with a price before the work starts.

Questions people ask
Plain answers.
Does this make our practice HIPAA compliant?
It puts the technical controls, the records and the proof in place. The policies and the formal assessment are a project we take you through, and the responsibility stays with the practice, as HIPAA says.
Our insurer's renewal form is forty questions. Will you fill it in with us?
Yes, and the answers will hold up, because multifactor authentication, tested backups, training and monitoring are already in every plan.
Do all of our people need the add-on, or only the ones who touch records?
Everyone. The gap an auditor finds is always the computer that was left out.
