Compliance Evaluations
Ensure Adherence to Key Regulations with Our Compliance Evaluation Services
Government agencies must comply with stringent regulations covering the security and privacy of sensitive data. Our compliance evaluation services assess your policies, procedures, and controls to determine adherence with key standards and identify areas of non-conformity.
We have extensive experience evaluating compliance for regulations such as:
- FISMA – Federal Information Security Management Act
- HIPAA – Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
- PCI DSS – Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
- Privacy Act
- IRS 1075 – Tax Information Security Guidelines
- CJIS – Criminal Justice Information Services
- NIST Risk Management Framework
- ISO/IEC 27001 – Information Security Management
- ITAR – International Traffic in Arms Regulations
- FERPA – Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Our multi-faceted audits examine the safeguards you have in place across people, processes, and technology to manage risks per requirements. This includes reviewing policies, frameworks, access controls, training programs, encryption usage, security tools, data classification, third-party oversight, incident response plans, and more.
We pay particular attention to the security controls cataloged for each regulation, validating that mandatory safeguards are implemented. Our auditors have extensive backgrounds in information security, risk management, and regulatory environments, enabling us to conduct accurate compliance checks.
Upon completing evaluations, we produce detailed reports indicating areas of non-compliance and vulnerability, along with specific prioritized steps to achieve conformity. We assist with implementing remediation measures and provide ongoing compliance program management support.
Staying abreast of constantly evolving compliance regulations—and ensuring adherence—diverts focus and strains limited resources. Partnering with MEPS for compliance evaluations provides government agencies with:
