In 2021 a local bank was hacked for $6 million worth in damages, and due to lack of compliance, lost their insurance claim and received nothing in aid.

State and federal regulations are requiring that businesses, whom handle personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI), increase their security awareness,  emergency protocols, safe practices, and security infrastructure; and, insurance providers are cracking down significantly on claims due to the rapid rise in successful cybercrime attacks.

Tech Advisors has built a service that ensures these topics are continuously monitored and managed to prevent any successful data breach, potential lawsuit(s), and state and federal fines that may arise from cyber-attacks and governing audits. Here are a few common governing entities that businesses must adhere to: SEC, SOC, HIPAA, DOL, N.Y SA, CCPA, and 201 CMR 17.  Tech Advisors Compliance Services adheres to all known regulations by providing these services and protocols:
