Over the past month, we’ve rolled out several new capabilities.

As data breaches and cyberattacks become more widespread, most businesses are making information security and data privacy a top priority. That means they want to know whether your business can be trusted with their sensitive information. SOC 2 compliance is one of the most effective methods to instill that confidence.

As time marches on and technology develops, there’s a constant push and pull between information security and attempts to breach that security. Obscurity – simply hiding from sight – isn’t enough with automated processes capable of scanning any possible address looking for signs of life, so much of modern computer security comes down to cryptography. Pretty much everyone has some experience with cryptography, from our childhood spy media to modern computer science.

Keeping track of who is accessing your systems and data is a critical part of any security program. Requirement 10 of the PCI DSS covers logging and monitoring controls that allow organizations to detect unauthorized access attempts and track user activities. In the newly released PCI DSS 4.0, Requirement 10 has seen some notable updates that expand logging capabilities and provide more flexibility for merchants and service providers.

In the ever-evolving landscape of data security, staying updated with the latest standards and regulations is crucial. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is no exception. With the recent release of PCI DSS v4.0, there have been significant updates and changes that organizations need to be aware of. This blog post will delve into one such critical area – Requirement 9: Restrict Physical Access to Cardholder Data.

For defense contractors, cybersecurity is a non-negotiable priority. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program outlines rigorous assessment and affirmation requirements for contractors and subcontractors. Let’s dive into the key elements that shape this crucial aspect of CMMC compliance.

By now, you are likely aware that the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program Proposed Rule was published in the Federal Register on December 26, 2023. This set into motion a series of deadlines, which will culminate in the full implementation of CMMC 2.0. It also set into motion a flurry of activity within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and the realization that a deadline for compliance looms large.

Self-attestations are an increasingly popular tool for cybersecurity compliance frameworks such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) directives. The idea is that organizations attest to meeting specific security controls and requirements without third-party validation.
