The IT compliance landscape changes rapidly. Dean Dorton can help your organization with your compliance requirements, whether to assess your organization’s readiness or perform procedures to verify compliance status. Examples of regulations our experienced professionals are familiar with include CMMC, DFARS, HIPAA, GLBA GDPR, PCI, SOX, ISO 27001, and state regulations.

Cybersecurity Framework Evaluation

CIS, COBIT, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, and SCF are just a handful of common cybersecurity frameworks (CSF). Dean Dorton can assist in evaluating which CSF is appropriate for your organization and how well-implemented your CSF is.

Our technology consultants work closely with our audit teams to provide IT general controls testing and services on our audit engagements. We have worked to develop an IT general control framework that can be used to perform a general IT assessment for any organization.

IT Risk Assessments

Dean Dorton knows the importance of properly identifying and mitigating your significant risks. We have the expertise to help you determine the appropriate response to various risks including those related to fraud, cybersecurity, and financial reporting. Many IT regulatory requirements such as GLBA and HIPAA require IT risk assessments.

Having the appropriate IT policies and procedures in place not only protects your organization, employees, systems, and information; but they are also a common requirement for IT regulations. Dean Dorton can ensure your IT policies are addressing your compliance and CSF needs.

Cyber Liability Insurance Policy and Review

There are two important questions related to cyber liability insurance. The first is whether coverage is sufficient.
