Organizations collecting sensitive information (personally identifiable, financial, or protected health information) should consider as part of due diligence to improve their overall security posture. This can be done by following Industry Standards and best practices. A framework like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or ISO 27001 can be used to help implement or improve the Information Security Program.

Please note it is called a program because it requires an ongoing commitment and resource allocation by the organization, projects have a beginning-end, whereas an Information Security Program is an ongoing function to help protect the business.

DISCLAIMER: We can help your organization with your compliance efforts, and the level of compliance your organization reaches depends largely on the commitment and resources allocated towards this goal. It is critical to understand that being compliant does not make your organization secure or vice-versa. Implementing a formal Information Security Program following an Industry Standard Framework like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or ISO 27001 requires your organization's commitment and resource allocation to help protect your organization.
