Cybersecurity Compliance for Nevada Businesses

Most Nevada businesses answer to at least one cybersecurity rule: HIPAA for healthcare, the FTC Safeguards Rule for financial businesses, CMMC for defense suppliers, Nevada SB 370 for consumer health data, and Nevada's NRS 603A for many businesses that hold personal information. Our managed security plans put many of the technical safeguards these rules expect in place, and our vCISO guidance helps you track the rest.

Common questions

Cybersecurity compliance FAQ

Which cybersecurity regulations apply to my Nevada business?

It depends on the data you hold and who you work with. Healthcare providers and their business associates follow HIPAA. CPAs, tax preparers, lenders and other non-bank financial businesses follow the FTC Safeguards Rule. Defense contractors and suppliers follow CMMC. Businesses that collect consumer health data outside HIPAA follow Nevada SB 370. Many businesses that hold Nevadans' personal information, as that law defines it, are also subject to Nevada's data security and breach notification law, NRS 603A.

Does buying a security service make us compliant?

No service makes you compliant on its own. Compliance also depends on your policies, your people and your documentation. What a managed security plan does is put many of the technical safeguards these rules expect in place and keep them running, such as MFA, monitored endpoints, logging, training and incident response, while our vCISO guidance helps you map and track the rest.
