IT Compliance Services

What Compliance Management Means (and Should Achieve For You)

Compliance rarely fails on the technology. It fails on the paperwork, when somebody asks for an access review or a backup test log and nobody has one, so three weeks vanish reconstructing years. Our build already meets the standard your industry sets, so this work is the other half: turning what exists into evidence somebody outside will accept, in the format they asked for.

What Our IT Compliance Services Do For You

Security questionnaires get answered from files we already maintain.
Gaps get found by us, months before an assessor would find them.
Written policies exist, because most frameworks require them on paper.
Access reviews happen on a schedule and get recorded as evidence.
Backup restore tests are logged, which is what auditors ask to see.
Insurance renewals stop being a week of guessing at honest answers.
You get a clear idea of what compliance systems you're subject to, and how to comply.

No question or project is too small or too big for them. You may also think to yourself “Do I need an IT solution?” and the answer is YES and the company is ETS.

A Truly Dependable IT Company

We were lucky enough to find ETS years ago when our current IT company couldn't help us anymore. They are an amazing company with an amazing team. They are very organized and know their field. We have many different software programs that integrate with our main software, and we never have a major issue. It has been wonderful having a company that is so dependable, especially in the IT space where so many companies don't know what they are doing. We happily get to focus on our work rather than the latest IT issue. If you are looking for a company, give ETS a call, you will be so happy you do! :)

How We Turn The Work Into Evidence For You

Compliance work is mostly clerical, which is why it never gets done. Somebody has to write the policy, run the access review, test the restore, and file the result where it can be found a year later. We do that during the work rather than after it.

We Find Your Framework

First we establish what applies to you, whether that is HIPAA, CMMC Level 2, SOC 2, GLBA, an owner security addendum, or simply the questions your insurance carrier asks at renewal.

We Write The Policy Set

Most frameworks require documents, not just configuration. Written policies, an incident response plan, and a system security plan get drafted around your environment rather than downloaded from a template pack.

We Keep All The Evidence

Access reviews, restore tests, and change records get logged as they happen. When somebody asks for twelve months of proof, the answer is a clearly organized folder rather than weeks of archaeology.

We Sit In That Meeting

When the assessor, auditor, or carrier has questions, one of our engineers joins the call. You should not be the person translating technical answers for somebody actively grading your business.

Security Questionnaires and Vendor Reviews

Answering The Form Without Losing Three Weeks Of Work

The form arrives from your largest customer, your insurance broker, or a hospital procurement team, and it has a return date on it. Forty questions about encryption, backup frequency, incident response, and vendor management. Every one has a correct answer that depends on how your environment is actually configured, which is why guessing is dangerous. A wrong answer on an insurance form can reduce a claim, and a wrong answer to a customer can lose the contract when they verify it.

Send us the questionnaire before you start filling it in. We will go through it line by line, tell you which answers your current setup genuinely supports, and flag the ones where the honest answer is no. Where the gap is small we close it and then answer yes accurately. Where it is not, you at least know what you are signing before you sign it, which beats finding out during their verification call.

Questions get answered from your documentation rather than from somebody's memory of how things were configured.
Answers you cannot honestly support get flagged before submission, not discovered later during verification.
Small gaps get closed first where possible, so more of the form can be answered yes without stretching anything.

Framework Readiness Assessments

Finding The Gaps Before Somebody Independent Finds Them

A readiness review is not an audit, and we are careful about the difference. We go through the controls your framework requires, compare them against what is actually running, and give you a written gap list with what each item costs to close and roughly how long it takes. HIPAA, CMMC Level 2 and NIST 800-171, SOC 2, GLBA, and the security addendums general contractors attach to subcontracts all get handled the same way: read the requirement, check reality, write down the difference.

The value is entirely in the timing. A gap you find yourself is a budget line and a schedule. The same gap found by an assessor, an insurance carrier, or your biggest customer's security team is a failed review, a delayed contract, or a renewal at a worse rate. The work is identical either way. Only the order changes, and the order is the part that costs money. Nobody gets penalized for finding their own gap.

Controls get compared against what is actually running, not against what somebody believes is running.
Every gap arrives with a cost and a rough timeline attached, so the list can actually be budgeted properly.
You get the findings in writing whether or not you hire us to close a single one of them afterward.

Written Policies and Security Plans

The Documents Auditors Always Ask For That Nobody Has

Frameworks are documentation requirements as much as technical ones. HIPAA expects written policies and a risk analysis. CMMC expects a system security plan and a plan of action. Insurance carriers increasingly expect an incident response plan they can read. Almost nobody at a 30-person company has these, and the ones who do usually have a template downloaded years ago with another company’s name still sitting in the footer. An assessor spots that immediately, then looks harder at everything else.

Documents that describe a company other than yours are worse than no documents, because they establish that nobody was paying attention. We write these around how your business actually runs, using the inventory and configuration records we already keep, which is the only way the document and the environment stay in agreement. When either one changes, the other gets updated so they never disagree.

Policies describe how your own company actually operates, rather than how a downloaded template assumed it would.
Your incident response plan names who gets called and what gets isolated first, written before you need it.
Documents get revised when the environment changes, so the paperwork and the reality never drift apart.

Why Businesses Bring The Paperwork To Us

Nobody enjoys this work, which is why it gets deferred until a deadline arrives from somewhere outside the company. By then the options are all bad: rush it, guess at it, or pay somebody hourly to reconstruct records that should have been kept all along.

Right Standard First

The framework that applies gets established before anything else, because building toward the wrong standard wastes a year. Medical, government, and financial work pull in different directions, and plenty of companies sit in two at once.

Extensive Compliance Expertise

White glove support for compliance work covers the three frameworks we get asked about most: HIPAA, CMMC Level 2, and SOC 2, plus others besides. Whichever one applies to you shapes the support we deliver from day one.

Documents Fit You

Policies get written around how your company operates instead of downloaded and lightly edited. An assessor who reads a generic template usually starts looking harder at everything else, which is the opposite of what you wanted.

We Attend With You

We are in the room for the assessment, the vendor review, or the carrier call. Translating technical answers for somebody grading your business is not work an owner should be doing alone under real time pressure.

FAQs About Our IT Compliance Services

Can You Actually Certify Us, Or Do We Need Somebody Else Entirely?

Somebody else, and that is how it should work. Certification and formal assessment are meant to be independent, so an IT company that builds your environment cannot credibly grade it too. What we do is everything on the other side of that line: establish which standard applies, build to it, keep the evidence current, write the documents, and sit with you when the independent party arrives. If you need a named assessor or a registered practitioner for something like CMMC, that is a separate engagement with a separate firm, and we will tell you that rather than blur it.

How Much Of This Work Is Included In A Full Managed Agreement?

The build side is included, because it is not really separable. Whatever standard applies to you shapes how we configure things from day one, and the documentation gets written as the work happens either way. What sits in a separate engagement is the external-facing work: packaging evidence for an assessor, completing a formal readiness review against a framework, drafting the policy set, and attending the assessment itself. The dividing line is roughly whether the output is for you or for somebody outside your company.

We Already Failed A Vendor Security Review. Can You Help Fix That?

Usually, and the first step is reading the actual findings rather than starting from scratch. Most failed reviews come down to a small number of specific items, commonly multi-factor authentication that is not enforced everywhere, backups that have never been tested, no written incident response plan, or stale accounts that were never closed. Those are fixable, and several of them are fast. Send us what the reviewer sent you, and you will get back a list of what has to change, what it costs, and what can realistically be done before your resubmission date.

Which Framework Applies If We Serve Both Medical And Government Contract Clients?

Both, which is more common than people expect and less painful than it sounds. HIPAA and NIST 800-171 overlap considerably on the technical controls, so a good deal of the work counts twice. Where they diverge is documentation and scope: the government side cares about which systems handle controlled information and wants that boundary drawn explicitly, while the medical side cares about protected health information and business associate obligations. The practical answer is usually to build to the stricter control and keep two sets of evidence.
